Welcome to Indiana Jones's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Indiana Jones

How do you start to share about someone who has been in your life for 13 years and happens to be the love of your life!! I got Indiana for selfish reasons really. I wanted a companion to get me out when I was down. My girlfriend told me about a litter and I knew I could not go look because where I was would not allow it.(My Moms house)LOL, I went anyways and this little yellow and white round bellied little boy kept coming over even when I pushed him away so I could see the other puppies. He was definite that he was coming home with me and really gave me no choice. So what did I do? Gave my mom no choice and I begged and bribed till he came home :). That was the begining of my life!! Indiana was my dream come true!! Indie was my little man, we did everything together. My life was all about my dog. I no longer had to be alone, when I was sad & depressed he was suppose to force me out of my house, instead he would lay next to me for how ever long it took. He would sleep in for hours and never pushed to go out. Indie as a puppy was mischievious like most. I had a roommate at the time and out of four couches to chew up he of course chose my roommates so when it came time to part I had to buy the couches just to throw them away. This started our obsession with running. I started roller blading with Indie to tire him out!! It worked. I would have to say that the thing he loved best next to scratches from anyone, was pulling me on my blades or my bicycle. We were champs. Once when we were at the beach I tied his brother Klondike to a poll cause they were on one of those leads that share one leash, well Klonie stayed behind and Indie and I went of running while I would hold onto the back of his harness, what a blast it was well till the cops came. We got busted for not having a leash on and to my dismay I had a traffic ticket warrent so we all got arrested!! They came and put my boys in a pound bus and took me to.... Luckly LA was to busy for a little thing like me so I got let go, well I roller bladed to the pound and there are my two boys in a cage looking at the street waiting for me to come. Klondike scared and hiding between Indiana and the wall, Indie the big brother watching out for him. The look on their faces when I showed up was awesome. There are so many stories I could tell but it would take forever. Know that my Indie was a special boy, he brought joy to everyone and anyone he met. There was not a mean bone in his body and all loved him. The smart people saw how brilliant he was and loved him most. Inie was a therapy dog and did some work with battered and abused woman and their children. How the kids loved him. Such a big dog, (at the time about 100 pounds) and how exiting it was to walk him, brush him and give him treats!! The way Indie and I would brake the ice for them was to show them how timid he was by having him jump in my arms so I could carry him. Indie loved being in my arms, I don't think that he knew that he had grown so much and really was not a lap or shoulder dog. He raised his brother Klondike who unfortunatly passed last December, and three little doxies who in the past five years joined the family. Indie also tolerated the fosters that have come and gone too. Our most recent little doxie Milo loved to sit next to Indie and sniff him, Indie was the most tolerant with him. These are just some of my memories of my beloved Indiana, I could write for days about him, so again I ask, how do you write something about someone who has been not in my life, but was my life. Indiana gave so much and asked for so little. Indie had been declining for months and I researched all that was going on, ultra sounds, x-rays, blood panels, all of these things in multiples. In my heart I knew my baby was dying and al I wanted was to know what it was so I could make him comfortable. I knew from Klondike the symptoms of Cancer and could swear on my life that was it, everything was coming back normal though I knew my baby was dying. This morning there was blood in his vomit so the doctor we went, exploritory surgery although I knew my baby would not be coming home. I was able to go inside and before they did the final shot (we decided not to bring him out of anesthanesa)to say my one last goodbye. I kissed his little chin, shared some words of love and the doctor came in with the shot and I got to hold my babies paw. Words could never explain how I feel, the huge loss I have, the hole in my heart and the pain in my soul. In all the dogs in the world and all the dogs that will follow in my home, there will never be another Indiana Jones. He was a once in a life time dog. For all intens and purposes he really had no idea he was a dog. Indie lived in the lap of middle class luxery. The one thing Indie always needed was a pillow beneth his head. He did not care if it was a shoe, purse, blanket, whatever, he always had a pillow and blanket as a pup and never grew out of the pillow part. My loving boy will be remembered by Myself, Tony, Grandma, Great Grandma, Auntie Beth, Auntie Lisa, Uncle Bart, Dino and his siblings, Mamasita, Bear and Cruise. We know you will be watching over us all. Sept 11,2008 To my sweet angel. I know it has been 2 1/2 long months since you have went to see your brother and probably wondering why I have not written. Please know it is not because Mommy has forgotten you, OH NO!!!!!!! Not a moment in a day goes by when you are not in my thoughts. My heart and my arms miss you more than life itself. It has been hard because when I come here it is all to real and I still don't want to face that. They say when I think of you you are thinking of me too. I hope so. I have your pic with Klonie on my desk and look at you to every day. You will NEVER be forgotten and will always be #1. Bear of course is vying for that spot now. =) I would like to apologize if you stayed here to long, I look at the last series of pics I took of you and should have seen your sadness, I knew in my heart you were sick and since nothing showed with all the test I just could'nt do it with out positive affirmation. Please know that Mommy LOVES you SOOOOOO much and promise to be back soon. besos ;* 12-14-08 Hello my love. Yes it has been 5 1/2 months since you have gone. I don't feel the need to write often because you know you are in my heart and thoughts every day if not moments of every day. The puppy pic (6mths) holding your favorite toy in your mouth (plastic bottle) is on my desk. Just a note for you to know you are still with me every moment of every day. We miss you much, besos ;* To my sweetiest love!! Oh how I miss you. Although I have not written to you; you are never far from my thoughts. All is well here the dogs me, mom, and grandma. We wish you were still here. All my love, Mommy :-* Please also visit Klondike.
