| Dedication To The Animals That Have Graced My life |
|
| Pooh Bear was my first pet. He is really the only one I remember well from my childhood. He was a beautiful Samoyed dog. When caught eating his food with him I replied " Pooh Bear invited me Daddy." I was 5. He died an old happy dog. Calico was one of my first cats. She was of coarse, calico colored. She had 3 kittens under my bedroom window when I was in 3rd grade. She was a very sweet cat who put up with alot. She disapeared one day when reaching old age. Basia is one of most memorable pets. She was a grey scaredy cat. She somehow always ended up in my room when I was upset to comfort me. She was known for poking your face at night or knocking things off the counter in the middle of the night. After leaving home to get married, Basia disapeared. JC. Nothing can discribe JC. We bought JC for my mom's birthday. She always wanted a standard poodle. I think she regrets that now!!!! He is a beautiful, sweet, smart dog. He is still alive today. He is referred to as "Emily's Best Friend". Amadeus was my first and possibly only horse. A beautiful grey Arabian gelding with plenty of spirit. I bought him for a 4-H compitition. I broke and trained him myself. I have the scars to prove this. My most memorable fall was when I was thrown onto assfault, thank God I had my helmet on. I donated him to a church after I was married. Puppy was precious in every way. Similar to the Samoyed, American Eskimos have the Samyoed Smile. He lived only 8 months. He was shot and killed by our neighbor while Shawn and I were on our honeymoon. Madelynn and Sophia Maria. These two names go together. As long as I live, I will never forget these precious cats. Madelynn a very large, snowy white cat loved Shawn. Sophia Maria, a spunky tabby was clearly my cat. These girls gave me joy in many times. I get a tear in my eyes when I think about them. Giving them up was too hard to do. Before our move cross country from Dallas to Tampa Madelynn found a great home with a little boy named Ryan. Sophia Maria, changed names to Cicily and is now with her new owner in the Army!!! Ramses. If Ramses is not in Heaven, it does not exsist. We got Ramses just before our move to Tampa. There was something about that Basenji pup that pulled at my heart. He was infected with the Parvo-Virus and needed a good home. We took him in when he was cleared of the virus. WE enjoyed 3 short weeks with him. He was perfect. Ramses slept in the bed with us, he never made an accident. At the end of the 3 weeks his appitite dropped drastically, he began to stumble alot and cry alot. He was then diagnosed with distemper and said not to recover. He was put to sleep after only 3 weeks of a real life as a puppy. He lived his short life mainly in a cage. I can still see his precious face. Pepper Ann is a great kitten. I found her at the 7-11 near our apartment. She is a cute black and white kitten with the sadest sounding meow!!!!!!! We love her to death!!!!! |
