I got Pooka as a puppy and named her after the dog on Anastasia. We grew very close through the years. I would take her on walks and have her sleep in my bed with me. She would follow me around the house wherever I would go. I had a doggy bed for her in my room but she refused to sleep in it. She always had to sleep in my bed with me. She would love to give me kisses by licking me all over. If I left the house I always knew that Pooka would be so excited to see me when I returned. One time I was petting her while she was on my bed. She rolled over for me to pet her belly and rolled right off the bed. She was such a funny dog! I was giving her a bath one time and as I stood up to get the doggie shampoo, she jumped out of the tub and ran into my room soaking wet. I ran after her only to find her laying in my bed. My bed smelt like wet dog but she was as happy as could be. She just wagged her tail, excited not to be taking a bath anymore. Pooka brought me and my family so much happiness and joy in the 4yrs. she spent with us. I know Pooka is in a better place where she won't have any worries or troubles. She is living with my loving Grandma and our family dog Jasmine. I know that we will see each other again. Until then, I will keep her close to my heart. I love her very much and will miss her dearly.
