Welcome to Snickers's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Snickers

Snicker's was always there for me and would protect me and the kids when ever she thought she needed to. She loved Christmas and opening gifts. We had to hide the gifts or she would open them up early. She loved to go on long trips. She was always a good girl. As the years passed it got hard to see age slow her down. She got Cushings at age 14 and I took her 3 states away to go to the vet hospital my daughter was going to school at. They turned her around and we had many many more good months. Then on Feb of 08, I lost my Dad suddenly and I think Snickers knew I needed her more than ever. She was at my side every minute. She later turned up with liver cancer so we had them do surgery at the pet hospital. She bounced back like she had two years trimmed from her age. She played with her toys again and bounced when she entered the house. It was great!!!! Then, a few months later we discovered she had breast cancer. At 16+ it was a huge risk to operate and a very painful surgery and we knew it had probably already spread so as long as she showed no signs of pain we would take one day at a time. I pampered her every day and dedicated my life to her the last few years. And she did her best to stay with me because she saw me cry everyday for my Dad. Eventually the cancer went to her brain and she started having seizures. I gave her pills every 5 1/2 hours around the clock and that held them off for awhile. Finally on Jan 17th the seizures just wouldn't stop. I had to let my baby go shortly after midnight Jan 18, 2009 and now she is with my Dad. I know she has the best care possible and she is running around like when she was a puppy. My dad will take care of her and Snickers will take care of him until I get there. So until then I am going to try to build the best vet clinic I can to help dogs like Snickers and make my Dad proud. It is hard to face everyday with out them but all I can do is try my best. Thanks for visiting Snickers page. (Snickers, tell McKenzie I really do love her and tell Maynerd I miss him too) August 27, 2009 - Happy Birthday baby girl. Today will be sad here without you but I know that my Dad will make sure you get the birthday celebration that you are used to. I love you. I miss you and I wish you a Happy Birthday with all my heart! I will always be with you. Mommy Nov 24, 2009 - I miss you so much sweetie. I keep trying to think of you as a puppy now running through the beautiful fields with Grandpa and all the horses and dogs and cats that have been such a big part of our family over the years. It makes me want to come to be with you but I am still needed here so please be happy and visit me in my dreams sweet puppy. I love you more than anyone can know. [[[hugs & kisses]]] Mommy Jan 1,2010 - My heart still hurts and tears fall everyday. After my Dads funeral my mom told me I will stop crying when I run out of tears. Well I'm still waiting. To run out of tears. I miss you sweet puppy. Give Dad a kiss for me and take good care of him. XO Mommy Jan 27,2010 - I made it past the date that I lost you. That night goes through my mind many times so that day was really no different than any other. In ways it seems like just yesterday and in other ways it seems like such a long time ago. Oh how I wish I could hug you again. I miss you puppy!!! Give Dad a kiss for me. We send so many dogs and cats to heaven at the clinic and I tell them all to look for you and Dad, so show them around and take care of them until I get there to help you. I love you babe. XO Mommy
