Pierre
has a heroric story where he was recently diagnosed with a herniated disk on his spine
which developed into more than we every thought could happen. This
precious twelve-year-old maltese had jumped off the bed at my daughters home
during Thanksgiving and cracked his back bone which turned into a
complete horror story. He was having seizures on Christimas Eve and was
rushed to the ER where the following day he was not given much hope of
survival. This sweet boy had such a will to live his heart stopped
twice that night and was brought back and all that day the prognosis was
not good. After 3pm Christmas Day he was bright eyed and ready to
return to the world, we were stunned and amazed as well as the doctors
at what a miracle had happened. Once, he returned home he was placed on
meds for seizures and a steroid which was to keep the swelling of the
brain down. This little guy was so amazing he tuffed every hurdle he
had encountered. Months went by with many more hurdles he had to
sustain which lead to the decision my husband and I was not prepared to
make. On March 19, 2012 we had to make the hardest decision of our
lives to let him go be with God. That day will always be remembered
because as I was holding his precious paw in the palm of my hand and the
doctor leaned over to say hes gone, instantly the song "Rain Drops Keep
Falling On My Head" came into mind. Now, understand I haven't heard
that song in probably 20+ years, nor did I even have a clue what the
lyrics meant in the song. So, to have this song come into mind
instantly had me courious to why so I grabbed my phone and began to
search for the song, wasn't able to for some reason to download the only
version I'd ever heard which was by the artist B.J. Thomas. I wasn't
sure why my phone was unable to download his version. The version I was
able to download was by an artist by the name of Leon Triplett, which
was from the CD Still Leon. Once I downloaded the song could not
believe how this song fit his personality and how the lyrics were a
mirror into his last few months on this earth. I can't listen to this
song without crying but somehow I feel so comforted by it. I feel his
presence everytime I hear it. If, you get a chance to download it you
won't be sorry, it is such a beautiful version and fits the grace of
this amazing creature. His name is Sir Oliver Pierre, we called him Mr.
P and Sweet Pea. This amazing creature will always be in our hearts and
minds. He blessed us so much with his presence and we know God has him
in his every loving arms. We will see him again at Rainbow Bridge where
we will cross this bridge together into heaven. I know without a doubt
animals do have a place in heaven with so much love they give theres no
way God wouldn't care for them because God is Love. We dedicate this to
our beloved pet. Rest in Peace my baby...
Thanks
