my Darling Mia , where do I start? you came into our lives when you were just 5 weeks old ! a bundle of white fur with big blue eyes , so small you would sit in my hands , we all loved you so very much , as did everyone that came into contact with you, this was to be the start of a very precious 13 1/2 years together , you were adorable , funny and loyal , who loved us unconditionally , you loved your walks and taking a dip in the lake ! after a few years we thought you would like a playmate , we got wolf , I think you thought he was a pain at times , but you showed him who was boss (you ) and you became good friends , you were always such a lively healthy dog , only going to the vets for your inoculations , so when it looked like you had an upset tummy we only left it a couple of days and took you to the vet , who said he thought it was gastric , and gave you an injection and antibiotics telling us to come back in a week f nothing changed , a week later nothing had changed and you were beginning to loose weight , after a examination she said she would give you steroids and if that didn't work it was probably something a bit more sinister , I cried all he way home just praying that these tablets would make a difference , ....... they didn't . it got worse , everything that went in would come back out sometimes within the hour , the weight continued to drop off you, 3 weeks this continued , i knew what i had to do Mia , but the thought of losing you was unbearable , i just wanted you to get better ! i knew in my heart i was being selfish and was keeping you here for me , i never wanted you to suffer my angel , so after one more call to the vet on he 13th dec this year (2013) you and i had our last walk together over the fields , i let you off for a last run ........... but you didn't , you stayed by my side like we were attached by an invisible lead , i cried all the way round the field , we came home and just cuddled up , i looked into your eyes and i knew as much as it broke my heart i had to do what was right for you , you looked tired and old , you weren't going to get better, at 6.40 13th dec you took your last breathe with Me Dad and Jake stroking you till the end , i can honestly say i have never cried so much in my life, so my angel you run free at rainbow bridge , i know you are all better now, chase those balls Mia loving and missing you so so much at Christmas , your our white star ! love you always your heartbroken mum xxxx
