Missing you…

Ms Mandi Photo 1

Chasing balls, swimming in the lake, or a simple snuggle on the couch…there is nothing more pure than a pet’s love.

As with any living creature, we find that our time is precious and limited on this earth.

Grey hair and slowing down start its descend.

Time will quickly pass and before we know it, it will be time to say goodbye.

But don’t be sad my love…I will see you again…in a better place than this.

Happy Birthday Mandi

Happy Birthday Mandi

Mandi and Me

Today would have been Mandi’s birthday. For those of you who have been following me; you know that my website, Ask Ms Mandi is a tribute to my first Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Mandi. We raised her from a mere five weeks old, until she got jaw cancer in 2006 and passed away. My family and I still miss, even though it has been almost seven years now since she has passed. She was twelve years old.

She was a great dog. I remember when she was just six months old. I was really sick and had to stay inside the house for a week straight. She didn’t bother me to go outside and play, she just lay next to me in my bed, patiently. She was always there for me and I will never forget her.

“Pit Bulls” have a bad reputation with the media and such. I am sure that there are evil dogs out there that harms others. This is sad because a dog is the reflection of its owner. There are bad people and bad dogs. Needless to say, Mandi was one of the kindest animals I have ever had the pleasure of spending 12 years. She was kind to children, animals and all people. She did not discriminate.

RIP Mandi and we will always love you.

KODAK

KODAK

I am washed away into a whirlpool of death.

     I was in a merciless hurtful daze.

     I heard my dad yell my mom’s name,

     and I dizzily walked out of my room.

I gazed down at the blood drops on the floor.

     I screamed twice.

Two high pitched ear piercing screams.

At first I thought it was my dad that had gotten hurt,

but then screaming thoughts raced through my mind.

     KODAK!  My poor puppy, only 6 months old.

     Gallons of tears streamed down my face.

          Is this a dream?

We speed down the road, driving to the vet.

My dad’s assurances warmed my heart.  Hope swelled through my body.

But… No!  There was no hope; she was gone.

     And what I experienced after

that is yet to haunt my soul with sorrow.
Kodak with her ball
