i remember the day we brought her home. she was so scared of us but soon after we couldnt keep her away. she was white and baige withfloppy little ears.corkey was agreat littledog who was loved very much me and my sister used to call her wiggle bum.every time we would come from school she would wait for us and when she would see us coming she would wiggle her little tail but her whole bum would move we had corkey 15 longyears.one day i was playing with her and i noticed a lup on her tummy . when i asked my parents what it was they were un sure . a couple of days later i noticed it was getting bigger. we took her to the vet and they said it was a cancerious tumor . we asked if there was any thing we could do they said they could opperate but there was a 90% chance it would come back. we left her alone to see if it would get worse but as time went on it did . corkey was not her self , she couldnt hold her bladder and no matter how many times we bathed her she would always be stinnky . somtimes she would get in moods where u couldnt touch her and she would grawl at you and nip. when my little sister came along she would try to play with corkey but never could cause she would always try and bit her . somedays corkey would act like there was nothing worng and other days you could see she was hurting. i never wanted to put her down i thought she could get stronger and the tumor would go away, but it didnt . i would pet her for hours everyday and pray to god that things would get better for her, and everytime i did so it always led to tears . corkey was the cutest little dog and it hurt to see her like this. in december 2002 me and my family went home for christmas which is cape breton, while we were gone my parents friend was looking after her and the other animals cause we couldnt take them with us. we would only be gone for a week and then we would be back and i told her that. when we came home the first thing i did was look for corkey, but corkey was no where to be found ,this made me very angry when i asked my parents where she was they looked very sad and said shes gone . i then screamed "gone where" then i knew right where she was.while we were gone my parents aranged for corkey to be put down. i didnt even get to say goodbye to her! i hated my parents for this for a long time. i knew that she was very sick but i really thought that she would be ok .corkey is gone forever and its hard to except. i just wished my parents would have let me say goodbye to her first. i loved her with all my heart and i will always remember her as my little wiggle bum. you are missed very much !!!
