dear tashaann,its been a week today that i had to put you down. a year ago next month i remember taking you to the vet because you were limping. i thought it was because you played too hard with the other dogs.the xrays showed you had bone cancer.it was aggressive and i was told if i didnt have your leg removed and give you chemotherapy you would be dead within two months. the operation was a success and you were the biggest three legged dog running around that they had ever had done. you took to the chemo well and came home a few days later. you were totally spoiled and loved to go for car rides. now almost a year later the cancer didnt kill you it was liver disease.a week ago today i laid in the grass with you and put my arms around your neck knowing i wouldnt be able to do so again in this lifetime.i miss you tashaann.no more sticking your nose under the covers to wake me,no more falling over you in the middle of the night or daytime.i love you tashaann and i never thought i would ever say that to another dog after lassie.i hope you like sleeping with my bear. believe me it was hard giving it up.i love you and until we meet again at the rainbow bridge please remember me with love. signed your namesake
