Arrival Story:
Abby was found, almost dead, by her previous owners. She had beeen brutally abused, with what the vet suspected as a knife gash from her chin to her stomach. Although she wasnt expected to live, her new owners asked the vet to do what he could. She pulled through. She spent three years with her owners, but, when they had to move to Colorado and couldnt take her, she came to live at my house. She was always my dog...she followed me everywhere. I taught her tricks, walked her, and spent most of my free time with her. I was a child of an abusive mother, often, Abby was the only friend I had. She would sit beside me when I was crying and growl at anyone who tried to hurt me. Abby passed away at age seventeen. She took her last breaths with my dad sitting beside her. She was a part of my life for most of my childhood. Though I dearly love my pets now, I dont think its fair to compare them to Abby. She was so smart, she seemed to really understand when you talked to her.
Bio:
Abby was terrified of thunderstorms. I remember one particularly bad storm when tornados passed very near our home. I was about 14 and home alone. Abby and I ended up sitting in the bathroom (the only room with no windows) both terrified. She was my comfort in my times of fear. She was my pet and she was my best friend. She has been gone for a while now, but I still feel a pain when I think about her.

Abby, Abby, I cannot describe how much I miss you. Each time that I think of you, it is a fight to keep the tears at bay. I can feel that same familier lump in my throat when I look at your picture. I know that dogs don't live as long as humans, and I have said goodbye to so many pets through the years, but your passing was as hard as if I had lost a sister. You were my best friend. Through some of the hardest times of my life, you were there. You sat by my side when I cried, you whimpered in acknowledgement of my pain. You barked happily when I got home from school and you were always ready to learn a new trick or just go for a walk around the block. You were my dog for fourteen years...more than half my life and almost all of yours. You were so smart, so loyal, so devoted. I know people must think I am silly when I speak of you because you sound like the perfect dog. What they dont understand is that you were the perfect dog. Your only fault, an allergy to fleas that would make your hair fall out, but you couldnt help that.
I am going to cry right now as I sit and write this. I love my two dogs that are my pets now, and they are sweet and wonderful pets. But, they are not you. I dont even compare them to you because that would not be fair to them.
A pet like you only come along once in a lifetime, and I know that I will own many pets in the future, but none of them will replace you in my heart. If someone asked me, would I go back and change thinsg? Would I not adopt you, knowing how much grief I would feel when you were gone? I would say no. I would never give up the memories I have to spare myself the pain. It would just not be worth it.
I will never forget you, Lou Bear, I will never forget the sound of your bark or that oh so smart look in your eyes. You were a part of my family and you always will be. You were like a sister and a best friend.
I believe that pets are in Heaven, because, how could Heaven be a perfect place for me if you werent there? So, I know that I will see you again one day.
