11 years ago we fostered, the cutest Chihuahua/Min Pin mix named Pixie. She was a 4 yr old owner surrender that Richardson Humane Society pulled from a shelter. Pixie & I connected on day one, but I kept telling myself she is just a foster. Then after a year of fostering & not one application on her I knew she was right where she belonged, we foster failed and adopted Pixie. She was my girl & loved me almost as much as I loved her. Today, I had to make a hard decision and let my little girl go. Over the last year, time & age caught up with Pixie, she’d lost the majority of her hearing, cataracts took her eyesight, her back legs gave out and even us trying relentlessly to get medicine into her tummy she managed to eat around or cough up every pill we tried get her to take. Hoping to ease her pain & make her feel better, but to no avail. Today, she looked up at me & those cloudy Grey eyes told me, Mom I’m ready to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I didn’t want to let her go, but I knew it was time. I took her to my vet this afternoon, Dr Anne Heyman and after her check up, we agreed it was time for me to say goodbye. I’ve lost many pets over the years, but saying goodbye to this little girl has been rough, my heart is broken & my eyes are full of tears. I’m going to miss my little girl, run free my sweetness…I’ll see you at the Rainbow Bridge someday.
Love Mom
