MY LITTLE "POOKIE FACE"

by Trish Knights

HI I JUST RECENTLY LOST MY TWO YEAR OLD SHELTIE. I CAME HOME FROM WORK TUESDAY NIGHT(5/27/03) AND MY LITTLE GIRL MET ME AT THE DOOR, SHE LOOKED AS THOUGH SHE HAD JSUT WOKE UP, THEN MY BOYFRIEND INFORMED ME THAT "STORMI" WASNT FEELING GOOD THAT SHE HAD BEEN THROWING UP. HER VOMIT LOOKED AND SMELLED IF IT WERE FECES, YET HAVING A PIG FARM AND HAVING ALL FOUR DOGS EAT IT WE FIRGURED MAYBE SHE HAD JUST "SNACKED" A LITTLE TOO MUCH, SO WE LET HER BE THINKING IF SHE THREW IT ALL UP SHE WOULD BE OKAY. YET THE NEXT MORNING I HAD NOTICED SHE HAD A LITTLE HOLE ON HER SIDE WHICH APPEARED TO BE A PELLET HOLE OR SOMTHING LIKE THAT, I ALSO NOTICED SHE HAD THROWN UP SOME MORE, HAD DIARREAH AND A HORRIBLE STENCH TO HER, I TOOK HER TO THE VET, I EXPLAINED HER VOMITING AND DIARREAH AND THE HOLE TO THE VET, SHE PUT IV'S AND ANTIBIOTICS INTO HER AND SAID CALL AROUND 4PM, I DID JSUT THAT, AT THAT TIME THE VET TOLD ME THAT "STORMI" WAS STILL WITH US, YET "KNOWING" THAT PELLETTS DONT NORMALLY GO DOWN FAR INTO THE SKIN AND MOSTLY STAY AT THE SERFACE SHE DECIDED NOT TO DO X-RAYS AND THAT SHE WOULD TEST HER FOR POSINING OF SOME SORT.AND tHEN SAID CALL AROUND 8PM TO CHECK UP ON HER AGIAN, THEN AROUND 715PM THAT NIGHT THE VET CALLED AND INFORMED ME THAT WHEN SHE WENT OT CHECK HER FLUIDS, "STORMI" WAS GONE. I WAS DISTRAUGHT AND COULD NOT STOP THINKING OF IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER, I CALLED THE VET ON SATURDAY AND ASKED ABOUT X-RAYS AND WHAT SHE HAD CONCLUDED ABOUT THE HOLE FOUND IN HER SIDE,SHE SAID THAT SHE BELIEVED STORMI HADNT BEEN SENT OT BE CREMATED YET SO IF IT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL BETTER SHE WOULD DO X-RAYS TO SEE IF SHE FOUND ANYTHING THAT LOOKED METALIC, A COUPLE HOURS LATER, SHE CALLED BACK AND STATED THAT SHE HAD FOUND SOMTHING WHICH SHE THOUGHT TO RESEMBLE A BULLET OR SOME SORT. WHICH MAKES ME SADENED THAT SHE WOULD NOT BELIEVE ME AND NOT DO X-RAYS WHILE SHE WAS ALIVE, MAYBE STORMI WOULD BE SITTING HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW. JSUT WANT OT KNOW IF ITS OKAY FOR ME TO BE ANGRY AT THE VET FOR "IGNORING" ME?? ANY COMMENTS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME, I MISS MY GIRL DEEPLY.
