StKildaMal Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's been a month now since Keisha left me. We spent almost 10 years together and I've been trying to work out the best way to sum up why she meant so much to me. I figured counting was the best way, over 10 years we: Lived in 5 different cities/towns Lived in 12 different houses Had 24 different flatmates Had 6 different girlfriends Went to 7 different jobs (well I did, they wouldn't let her go, although she did make surprise appearances occaisionally) Lost 3 grandparents and an uncle Witnessed the birth of 3 nieces and nephews Went through two bouts of severe depression (me about 5 years ago and my partner more recently) Went through 2 bouts of cancer (the last one got her) Through all that Keisha was the only constant in my life (and I the only constant in hers). When I was depressed and didn't treat her as I should have, she still loved me. She was what got me through, and later what got my partner through the dark times as well. Besides my immediate family, no human has been that dedicated to me...that's why she meant so much. Her last few months were spent running around a peach orchard, chasing rabbits and finally getting to spend all day at work with me. She was happy when she left and was PTS before the second bout of cancer got too painful for her. Never an easy decision but, the right one to make. I used to call her "The Dog". My partner renamed her "The Princess" (both in name and attitude). Now she is an angel, waiting for me to rejoin her in a few years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kody's_Mum Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Sorry to hear that you are going through the loss of such a special family member StKildaMal. I dread the day I will have to say good bye to my boy, as he too as helped me through some dark and tough times. Pets truly are wonderful in that they supply us with copious amounts of unconditional love and support. It sounds like Keisha's last months were very special for you both, and these will become memories which you will be able to smile at with time. Know that you made the right and most loving decision for Keisha, and that she is now playing pain free at the RIP Keisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
