Roll on.....
It's so funny how i remember all the little things she did that seem like yesterday. Rolling around in the grass, on the carpet, and just growling away having fun. She lived to play, run in the yard, roll around, be spoon fed ice cream, go for rides, goto the lake, go for walks, and she truely enjoyed everyday of her life. She was my world. We had so many special times. Going to the groomers was always a very special time. She was treated like a queen and pampered. My dad had been taking her to this one certain groomer . I was like next time im taking her and seeing who is grooming my dog!!! I took the next time and the lady was everything my dad said she was. A really freindly super nice lady. Even when Nellie's arthitis set in she knew what to do. She gave Nellie warm water massages on her back legs and body. Now most people would prombly not believe this, but she got Nellie to walk again. Things looks so hopeless way before her passing. She could barely move let alone walk. The vets pills made her lay down all day with no movement and she became aggressive. She would goto bite if anyone touched her back legs. I told my groomer and she told me to get her on Glucomisine pills from the store, and to have the warm massges. We saw immediate improvement in Nellie. She was walking and she was herself once again.
So, now you know how i met my 2 bestfriends. For as long as i live , no matter what, i will always...always be grateful to her for giving Nellie more time with us on this earth. She has become such a special person to me. The one i turned to right after her passing, and the one who comforted me. I honestly didnt expect the support i got after she passed away. I thought even the closest people to me wouldnt understand. I underestimated them all. I got an out pouring show of support. They may not have fully understood, but they showed they cared for me. I wrote the story above awhile back. I didnt write one single word without flashing back to the moments it happened in, and without many tears. It's taken me almost 2 years of her being gone to finally accept she is gone. I want to honor her memory and let it live on forever. Something i've wanted to do for so long and couldnt bring myself to do it. I couldn't accept her being gone. I dont think i will ever fully accept it, but in the meantime i can slowly work as i've done honoring her, and remembering her. Even though she is gone i still feel her with me. I know just how special she was and how good of a life she had. I've never questioned if she had a good life or not. I know she had the best. She taught me a very valuable lesson. Just when you think the world is dark and your doomed a light will shine, and you will be saved. As she laid in a dog pound a certified death sentence became a new start for a wonderful life. We we're so blessed to have her for many years. Her uncertain future turned into a world of hope and happiness. None of us will ever forget her or the lessons she has taught us.
