Any of you that know me ...know that I have had my little chihuahua since I was about 12 years old. She is my baby...the pictures above on the left is Zack playing with her. This is after she got over hating him, obviously he grew on her. The middle picture is my favorite because even though she was still a puppy she knew when I didn't feel well. This was taken right after I started chemotherapy when I was 13 and had just lost my hair. She was so amazing to me and would lay for hours by me. She also knew that she couldn't jump on my stomach so she would come across the back of the couch and attack my face and then slowly and carefully make her way to my lap. The last picture was after I was in remission and my hair was growing back. This dog loved her picture to be taken. On Friday Feliz went to the doggie hospital and we were told she was in congestive heart failure and that cancer had spend through her body. The vet recommended putting her down but when I got there she was way too coherent and lively to give this okay. So we took her home and she slept well that night and did okay through Saturday. Sunday I woke up and Zack and I spent the day doing some retail therapy and we went to see Kung Fu Panda. For some reason this movie made me cry so hard. When it was done I had to go to my mom's to check on Feliz. When I got there she was distressed because there was a huge storm going on outside and she hates the thunder and lightning. I held her and let her know it was okay to go, she got up to pee one more time on the floor and then looked up at me. I picked her up and she nuzzled her little head in my neck. She took one last big breath and then she was gone. It was actually really easy and I could not be more happy with the way she chose to leave me. She went on her own and peacefully.... and she looked so content. So for now I will say goodnight sweetheart and say hi to my grandparents for me. And please try not to pee in inappropriate places wherever you may be. I will never forget you and I love you with all my heart...Thank you baby girl.

That really sucks. I was going to ask you about your dog--I had no idea Feliz was still alive! When I'm reincarnated I want to come back as a spoiled dog. I do not look forward to the day I have to say goodbye to Addi, but Feliz did go peacefully.
Oh Amie! SO SAD! I can't believe you've had her for so long! She lived a very long, and good life. I'm glad the pressure was taken off you, and that she went peacefully a few days later.
