You were taken from me one week tomorrow and I feel as though my heart is breaking. I have the horrid guilt of not watching you close enough as you wandered into the road...you were only 6 months old! You were born in April and died in October, you will never know a winter due to my stupidity. I should know better, but alas I cannot change the outcome. Your back was broken and your spinal cord severed, the vet said we could save you but you would be paralyzed and need a diaper. I wanted to keep you alive and would have taken such care of you, however, I needed to think of you..what kind of life would that be for an energetic Australian Shepherd puppy. I made the hardest decision in my life and had the doctor give you a shot, I was able to hold you as you took your last breath. You were the most beautiful puppy, I will miss you always. I love you Molly Pop Wigglebutt! I will see you again. Love, Mommy.
