I remember when I first saw you. A feeling of excitement and joy came over me. You were so tiny, I couldn't believe it. To think I was nervous around such a small creature. I remember when you first nibbled at my finger. The feeling was very unpleasant to me. I myself was perhaps as soft as you were. After all, I was just over twelve years old at the time, a pup myself.
I remember you had trouble eating and properly going to the bathroom at first. Trouble eating... haha, jeah right. When I think about you now, that's the last thing I think of, you are a damn glutton. Though... it did worry me. I knew that part of the reason for your difficulty was that you were taken from your many brothers and sisters and your dearest mother.
I didn't spend very much time with you at the start. I let my parents help you along with the first few steps into getting adjusted to your new surrounding. After a while though, you fit right in. Truly one of the family. We had our morning routine together.
I never liked those puppy teeth of yours. Honestly when you finally got your second set of teeth I loved it. I loved how they felt when you chowed down on my arm and hand. You were so rough and lively. Playful, so very playful, and it lasted so very long.
God you could be naughty at times. I remember you devoured my shoe laces, part of my shoe, part of the table, part of the door... hell at some point you actually ate part of the wall! What went on in that mind of yours I do not know. But while it was naughty, and at times highly annoying. I loved it as well. It made me laugh so hard.
You were always there for me. You never complained, never argued. No matter how frustrated, stressed or angry I was you always came up to me with a tail in full swing. That's a special kind of love right there. One that never faded.
I know that as time passed and the years moved on. Many significant things happened in my life changing it for better or worse. Your own life had its ups and downs as well. I was there for you as much as you were there for me. The amount of love and joy you gave me was unrepayable. All I could do was try my best to give it back.
The latter years of your life you were in so much pain. There were more than a few occasions I thought you had reached your end. It broke my heart to see you in so much distress. Thankfully, through perseverance and sheer will power you remained with us. Over four years longer than we'd ever have thought.
Modern medicine and modern food had extended your life so much, it truly was something wondrous.
You spent your last years laying and walking around on your final breath. Ironically no matter how old you were. You still had that young puppy heart. A true testament that the spirit can not be defeated.
Now we lay you down to sleep. The eternal sleep from which you will not wake. Yet, all I can do is smile. Even Though I will miss you with all my heart. I know that we did our best to make your life happy and in return you gave us the gift of true love. The kind where you are blind to anything else and you held trust in us with your very existence.
Perhaps not the smartest thing a being could do... then again. When a being gives this, I can only deathly respect it with my heart. That level of trust is something special and rare. It showed me that it was possible to love without question, it gave me that hope that someday I might share that insight towards someone else.
Until that day, I'll remember you as my little sister. Who was with me for sixteen years of my life. The greater part of my own in fact. It's hard to think that so much time has passed. So much has changed, yet you never really did. Right up until the end.
Thank you for enriching my life so much. Thank you for showing me your kindness and love. You have helped shape who I am today, for the better.
In loving memory of my dear departed dog.
She had reached the wonderful age of 16. She was born on September 1st 1997. We had her since October of that year.
This was the last photo I took of her yesterday.
Rest in peace Amber, you will be missed.
