Paula- Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Shadow had a hard life, we saw the photos of where she lived before she came to us and it broke our hearts. She came to us 16 months ago with a bad limp, we found that she had a broken leg that hadn't been treated. It was likely 6 weeks old, and too late to fix - it healed a bit wonky but she recovered. Nicknamed 'Hoppy' by the people who helped with her rescue, she became her dad's shadow.. Shadow was quiet to start with, unsure of being part of a family, but soon she was bouncing on the bed, farting in our face and barking at us whenever she wanted anything. She had a goofy grin and a 'sad face' to beat 'em all - and used it to get whatever she wanted. She was special. Last week Shadow started limping, not much at first - we thought she'd bruised herself by bouncing into the coffee table, asking for a treat - but it got worse quickly and our worst fears were confirmed. Bone cancer took you from us far too soon, you should have had a much longer life with us - stealing steak off the table and running off with visitors' handbags. We all miss you, Shadow girl.

BittyMooPeeb Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Paula, I am so sorry to hear about Shadow I knew you had some bad news, but didnt realise it was this (one of my emails to you that went astray). Shadow was an adorable girl, who - maybe for the first time in her life - got to play, zoom, be cheeky and wrestle with the other dogs. You and Shadow's dad made sure that her life was full of quality and I'm sure she was a very happy girl. RIP Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
