Memories of Trek
|
Trek was sent from God upove hand picked just for my husband. You see my husband worked for the Sheriffs Department and took a job with the K-9 Team. When my husband first brought his dog home I was beside myself. I really love animals and especially was found of the German Shepherd. The dog came from Netherlands and came to us with the name Gundash. Boy we really needed to change that name, it did not sound like a police dog name. So my husband ask my son whom at the time was only 5 years old, what do you want daddy's dogs name to be. My son said Trek so then that became his name. Trek was strong,loyal,intelligent,faithful,brave,loving(to his family) not to the bad guys hee hee that would not work. He was so faithful to my husband that where ever he went Trek went, yes this included the bathroom( can't anyone get some privacy)hee!! Well Trek worked for 7 good years along side my husband. There where many nights I knew Trek brought my husband home safely, I think I took it for granted sometimes. My husband took a new position at his job and lucky for us Trek did retire earlier then he needed to, and they gave him to us for our own personal pet. I know this was hard for Trek especially to see my husband go off to work with out him by his side, he was so use to doing it. But Trek quickly became use to me and the kids and took on his new role of being just a stay home dog. I grew so attached to him, and when my husband would have to go out of town sometimes, I had Trek so I felt my family was safe. He slept next to our bed in our room. November 22,2009 my children were off for Thanksgiving break, we had went to see a movie and like always I let Trek out to take a break made sure he had food and water and left. We returned home for just a short period to let them out once more and had to go back up to the store for some groceries. When we walked in I told my daughter to start putting away the food and that I was going out to check on Trek and feed him his dinner. Trek did not seem responsive to me he seemed very weak and did not want his food. What in the world he went from fine to not feeling good at all. He was a healthy dog for his age 9 1/2 years of age he had earlier had a bladder infection, so I thought maybe that was it. I knew my vet closed earlier and could not take him there, so since it was close to 5pm I was told to take him to the emergency hospital that opened at 6pm. So we went and we where the first to have him seen. They ran a bunch of test and after 45 minutes the doctor came and said all the test were good, his white cell count was excellent, temp normal not dehyrated, liver, kidneys good bladder good but the only thing that might be borthering him was when they did an x-ray of his abdomen it showed he had a large amount of stool but that he was not blotted and the stool was soft. So they said take him home let him out back to go and just take him into our vet in the morning. That night around midnight I noticed Trek's breathing became a little heavy I kept checking on him from time to time I even woke up my husband to ask him why do you think he is breathing so hard. My husband had assured me that sometimes Trek had breathed before like that and maybe he was feeling some discomfort some pain, so logically I said well the test were all good we will just take him in to the vet in the morning. Around 2am I went out to the hallway knelt down in prayer and ask the Lord to help Trek with his breathing then I prayed some more over Trek went gave him some water he took a drink but fell down in his weakness, I said you are strong hold tight we will go to the vet first thing in the morning. Close to 4am I sense either God had answered my prayer because his breathing seemed better or something could be wrong, I knelt down with a flashlight did not want to wake my huband up but when I saw him Trek had moved facing towards my husband and was on his last breathe. I woke my husband up in a frantic state of mind told him Trek is struggling to breathe we have to get him to the hospital again, by the time I had put my clothes on my husband screamed out the worst cry I will never forget, Trek is gone honey he stopped breathing. I was beside myself I could not understand what happened what went wrong. A thousand things played through my mind. Should we had taken him back in. Did we miss something my heart was broke into a million pieces. Today it's been a week I still do not have the answers on what went wrong the doctor can't even explain, we are waiting on a biospy of the heart to see if something went wrong there, I guess I might not ever know why. I keep asking God to bring me closure some sort of peace about why Trek had to leave so sudden. I know Trek is in Heaven I truly believe this but I miss him so much that it still hurts. You see Trek was not just a dog but he was my husbands partner, friend, and to me and the kids he was our companion, protector, and the best dog you could ever have. We will never forget him!!! Love Mommy,Daddy,sisie and brother. And to all our other loyal pets they will miss you too especially Isabelle. Dec 3,2009 Today I really miss you so much, It's on a week a three days and I still feel your loss in my heart. Daddy goes out of town this Sunday for a week and you were always my source of comfort and protection over me, sisie, brother, Isabelle,Jade but Jasper will be with daddy working with him. I always could count on you to be there for me. I was never scared to be alone. It's going to be hard not to have you sleeping with me and keeping us protected while daddy is gone. Please show up for a visit so I can sense your with us. I will write to you later, by the way I ask God to keep you safe and let you come to us in a dream, I pray that the Lord will bless us with that wish. Love you my baby boy Mommy. Dec 4,2009 My beloved Trek Mommy misses you. Tonight I made Tacos and I know how much the smell of the meat cooking in the pan made you go crazy wanting to eat some of the taco meat. It was one of your favorite smells. Well anything cooking was your favorite smell. Your brother Drake dropped a now or later candy on the floor and Isabelle hurried to nibble it up, I had to grab the rest from her because I did not realize what she had in her mouth silly dog. What have you done today in heaven? Daddy leaves Sunday which is real soon, I wish you could be home with us when he goes. I love you baby boy, Love and miss you so much. Write you soon Goodnight Love Mommy
Dec 5, 2009 Today was hard for Mommy Trek, I needed to clean my room up and I left your bed as is for the past 11 days with your blanket because I felt comforted by your smell, Today I reached down to pick it up and the smell of you from the blanket has faded and I just cried because I could no longer smell your scent and I am so sad. But Mommy will keep your balnkie safe and it will be here so I can always remember you. Love you! Dec 6,2009 Hi baby boy, Daddy just pulled out with Jasper to work out of town. and I really miss not having you home. Tonight I know will be hard for me to sleep, knowing your not here to protect us. You would always let me know if you heard anything. You were so loyal to your family, I truly love you for that. Now Isabelle, Smores and Jade are here to keep us company, but I think they would lick the bad guy and Smores would just purr Hee Hee. Isabelle keeps looking for you, she thinks your outside. Some people have said that dogs do not have a soul or a spirit, it just upsets me because I know that you were made perfectly for us from our Creator. And when I look in your eye's I know you had a spirit it was so made known to me in so many ways. I read how other Mommy and Daddy's get feelings of their furbabies around them. I pray I will have that special experience myself. Love you Mommy Dec 7,2009 Hi Trek Mommy was busy today while Taylor and Drake were in school. I brought all the Christmas things down and I hung your stocking by the fireplace with everybody else. I sure miss you so much. I had a good cry for a little bit, but I try to think good thoughts as much as I can or I just get sad too much. Last night was hard to sleep without you seeing as daddy is out of town. Taylor and Drake and myself all just cuddled together and we just had a big slumber party. It's rainy. and very cold the whole week is going to be cold, windy and rainy. Well take care of yourself and come to visit me soon. Love Mommy! Dec 9, 2009 Trek Mommy went to the mall today to get grandma her Christmas gifts, the stores were really not that crowded. I still have to get all the stocking stuffers for you and Isabelle, Jade, Jasper and sisie and brother. I sure miss you more and more each day. Days go by and I still can not believe you are gone and that I will not get to see you here on this earth anymore. I love you so much Trek. I still cry from time to time when I think about something that reminds me of you. But then there are days that God gives me peace. On those days I pray that I will always have you in my heart and even when the days do not seem as difficult to get through I do not want your memory to fade that scares me too much. Mommy misses you! Dec 12, 2009 Well today I got the results to why my beloved Trek passed so suddenly. They said he had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. They said some times there are no clinical signs showing heart disease. Trek never had any signs showing he had any heart problems, so I was surprised. I do miss him so and today just brought back so many raw emotions to the surface all over again. My husband found some old pictures of him and Trek when he was working with my husband on the job. He was such a beautiful German Shepherd. What a strong warrior my husband called him. I can be thankful that the Lord took him fast instead of him suffering from a long drawn out sickness, I do not think I could of watched Trek suffer or become worse or be so weak or in lots of pain. I love him too much to have him go through that. Mommy,Daddy,Taylor,Drake,Isabelle,Smores,Jade and Jasper miss you!! Dec 16,2009 Hello baby boy Mommy was really missing you today. Each day seems like it starts all over and I get so sad. The longer you are gone It becomes real that I will not see you here on earth anymore. I still have not seen a vision or had a dream of you. I have prayed for that to happen. I am so sad God has not heard my prayer and why he has not blessed me with just a small favor. Your bed is still in my room, I am not ready to move it. Well I love you and just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you. Daddy found some pictures of you the other day and we both cried, he is trying to be so brave but I know it hurts him deeply. Love you sleep tight. Mommy Dec 21,2009 Hello my wonderful baby boy, Mommy has been busy with sisie and brother, they are off now for Christmas break. We sure miss you deeply. I miss everything about you Trek. As days go by I find myself wishing you were still with me. Thinking about what makes me happy when you were a big part of our family. Your silly gallop I miss the most, you big moose. We are sending a special Balloon up to you on Christmas day I sure hope it makes it up to Rainbow Bridge. I pray that God will allow you to know how much your family misses you and know that you have not been forgotten, or that we stopped loving you, I hope you do not think we left you. Tonight I am making chicken I know I would give you some at the table because you looked so sweet giving me those puppy eyes, by the way they always worked hee hee. I love you so much Trek and I will write you later. Your stocking is filled with yums yums I know you would of loved them. Isabelle will eat them for you she really misses you too.

Dec 31, 2009 Well Trek it is almost a new year and I wish it was going to be with you with us. Christmas was not the same, we all miss you so much.

I love you baby boy Mommy, Daddy, Drake, Taylor and your fur babies especially Isabelle. Jan 7 2010 Hi my baby boy, I know I have not been on here writing you, but there is not a day that goes by, where during my day I think of you and I find myself talking to you telling you how much I miss you and love you and how I wish you were still here with us. I even have days where I just sit and cry thinking about something that reminds me of you. It seems so long since I have seen you time sure goes by fast. Jade goes into the vet on Friday to get fixed and Isabelle has a appointment for Wednesday so think of your sister fur babies. It is so lonely in the afternoons without you here, there is so much I miss about you, but mostly I wish I could still hug you and kiss you and tell you I love you. Daddy came home and said someone from the department needs a home for their 1 year old Shepherd, Taylor wants the puppy, but I do not think daddy is ready yet! Let him know you are still with him in his heart forever. Write more later Mommy loves you. Feb 26, 2010 I have been missing you so much, I wanted to come and change your site now that it's getting close to Spring. You always loved to run and play, and I really miss seeing you have fun. You were such a loving care free dog with so much joy and compassion. I miss your kisses and hugs. It still is not easy with you being gone, but I do not cry everyday like I use to. The times for me seem to be happier when I think of you I truly am blessed to hold so tightly to all the wonderful memories I have with you. How have you been Trek are you enjoying your time in Heaven with God. Mommy loves you the family sends love too I will come and visit you and I always think of you.
November 8, 2010 Hello my sweet Trek, wow its coming up soon that you have been gone from us a whole year now. I still miss you the same, as if its been the first day you left to go be by Jesus side. I love you so much. I have been struggling because Jasper is going to be going with a new handler, they are moving daddy to a different position and taking Jasper from us to go with a new handler. My heart aches because I thought that Jasper would be our dog forever just like you. But he still has a couple years left of working and seeing as he is there dog still at the Sheriffs department we cant keep him. My heart aches because now I have lost both of you and its tearing me apart. There isn't anything I can do either. Please tell God to make a way so that we can keep Jasper he has been what has helped me recover over the loss of not having you with us here. Well I will come visit again soon I love you Trek and miss you terribly!! Love Mommy and family. November 25,2010 Happy Thanksgiving Trek its been 1 year since you left to be with Jesus at Rainbow Bridge, boy we sure miss you just as if it was the first day! Its still so hard having you gone. Jasper will be going after all to be with a new handler. Makes mommy very said like i am losing a child. There is nothing i can do. I was hoping the Lord would had changed the minds of the people in charge of this decision, but so far it looks like we are losing him. My heart aches almost in sadness like he is gone died but Jasper is still alive just not going to be with us. He has been the comfort for us since we lost you now we are losing him. I sure wish God would have stopped this from happening. But we must always count all are blessings and thank God in all things, even when we do not understand His plans. I pray that the new handler will love and take good care of Jasper. Well going to add some Christmas touch to your site hope you like. Love you from all of us. December 25, 2010 Merry Blessed Christmas Trek we love and miss you very much. We had a foster dog for about 2 weeks, so Jack used your stocking as a loaner, in honor of you. We still hung it up and I also had my snow globe of you and me that Taylor made for me. We also hung the ornaments that reminded us of you too. My friend Amy bought us the one that was personalized especially in memory of you. Amy is in the hospital please ask God to give her a new heart and lungs that work well and heal her sick body. We miss Jasper so much, the new handler has had him since Dec 16th and it was the hardest thing to let him go. I cried my eyes out, I hope one day God will bless us and allow Jasper to come back home to live with us when his time in the department is done. I will write you in the New Year we love you Trek, love mommy and family Feb 10, 2011 My sweet Trek, I wish you were here to comfort mommy, you see miss Amy passed away Jan 2,2011 and its been hard without her.
