I was 13 when I asked my dad to buy me this doberman pincher from a friend. She was six months old and I named her Lady. We were in seperable. She was with me for six years. When I turned 19 I put her into a therapy dog seminar and she was wonderful. We would go visit the old and young people and she loved it. One day she was not feeling good like she could hardly breath. W I took her into thte vet and she was tested for heartworms she came out positive. The vet said being she was seven that it will be rough on her which I knew it would. I ahd her treated and never left her side. We had a wonderful life together. It was three years later which she is 10 now. She had some lumbs under her stomach and the vet tested it and it was cancer my worst nightmare has started. The vet said she had at least a yera left before it would spread to her brain. It wasn't long after that she got worse and my worst fears came true that one day when I took her to the vet for a check-up the vet said it was time for her togo she was sick and ill and she was in pain but she would not let me know it. I had to put her to sleep that day and when did I told my self there will never be another lady. "A pet is not forever, but it's loving memory is. Samantha Meeks laid to rest her "LADY" who succumbed to cancer. Lady shared her life with the elderly, young, and those in-between. Her sweet even temperment was a credit to her breed and family. She is gone.......But never forgotten. I will miss her deeply. February 1986-April 17, 1995. It will be 11 years that she has been gone and I still think of her and keep her close to my herat and her picthures will always be with me and her memories will be in my head and I will join her one day up in heaven and we will meet again and be together forever. mommy loves you and missies you so very much. You will never be forgotten.
