What
can I say about our baby Freckels?? Well, she has been the best dog
we have ever had. She has been through a lot and has always has her tail
wagging. When she was three months old she contacted Parvo. The vet wanted
us to put her down But I said no way. We took her home with some meds
and lots of love. She layed on a doggie bed for two months in front of the
sofa, We bottle fed her and she got better day by day. As sick as she
was she still wagged her tail as she ate and was held. Then one morning
she woke us with her barking!!! She was weak for a while after that but
she was well.
Then when she was six months old the little boy next door hit her in the
head with a baseball bat. She suffered a fracture to the skull. We
rushed her to the vet again and they again wanted us to put her down. No
Way!!! We took her home and nursed her back to health again.
She has been raised with my children Angie now 18, Michael now 20 and
Adam now 22. They love her to death and she is a part of our family. She
loves to sleep at my feet and she loves to lick feet!! She is very
protective and loves to run at the park. She has a little sister Chica,
Miniature poodle and Freya, a Chow/Golden Retriever mix. And of course there's Miss
Lilly (long haired calico cat). She loves to be around people and loves
to go for walks. She loves all other dogs and cats and has been the most
loving and faithful pet we have ever had. She is now deaf and has
started forming cataracts. She moves a little slower now and has
arthritis in her rear legs. She is on meds and takes her aspirin every
day with peanut butter.
Our vet says he is amazed by how good she is doing for her age. She
still plays with her sisters and is the instigator of all the trouble in
the house. She may be old but she is young at heart. We know her time is
limited. As we can see. But as long as the vet says she is doing good
then she will be with us. She will be 15 on November 10th of this year.
We love our baby and she is a wonderful Family member. We will be very
sad when the time comes when she has to go over the Rainbow Bridge. But
the memories will be by the thousands and the pictures will be endless.
