Arrival Story:
I was searching the web looking for a doggie, when I found an ad for a Pomeranian. My boyfriend and I went to meet her and fell in love with her. We were told she was only two or three, but after taking her to the vet found out she was more around the age of ten. It sucked to find out she was already that old, but I do not in any way regret getting her. She is the best little friend I could have asked for, she has become a huge part of my life. I love her so much, more then I ever thought I could love an animal. She brings many smiles to my face everyday...and now that I know her days might be coming to an end at any time, my heart is breaking like I never knew it could.
Bio:
Dixie was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure :(
We found out when we took her camping. She collapsed while walking and kept fainting. She couldn't breath and on the way to the emergency clinic we thought we were going to lose her. After getting there the vet let us know what was going on and said that she needed to be kept in an oxygen tank for at least 12 hours. Leaving her was the hardest thing i've ever had to do. She wanted out of that tank so bad and scratched and scratched at the plastic as I walked away. That was the first night I ever spent without her...the whole night I held tight to her collar, praying she would be okay. We made it through that and brought her home, she was doing well on the meds until about a week ago she got really picky with her food. Now she's not eating at all. I hate to see her like this, and i'm trying to stay strong for both her and myself, but it's just so hard. I'm not ready to lose her, I can't imagine life without my babygirl.
On August 1, 2008..I had to make the hardest decision of my life. After already knowing Dixie had congestive heart failure, we found out her kidneys were failing. Her body was shutting down. She couldn't eat which I know must have been so sad for her because food was the light of her life (besides her mama of course). She was sick and suffering and the vet recommended putting her down. The last thing I ever wanted was to let Dixie suffer, so I agreed. I miss her so much, but I know she's watching over me, like she always had. And I am so thankful that we found eachother and got to spend the time we did together. I will never forget my babygirl.

I now have a little sister down there taking care of my mama.
I pushed Mama in the right direction, and she gave another little girl a new, loving home. I am so proud of her!

Since I had to leave, my mama seems to feel empty inside. She is lonely and has tried to find another new friend to adopt, but none seem to compare anywhere near to me. I was her best friend, and now she seems to not know what to do without me.
