This is just a short little story about first my baby boy Atrau whom we adopted from a no kill shelter in Yucaipa, Ca. We were looking for a cocker spaniel a breed with whom we love but not limited to. We found him amoung a bunch of dogs running barking with matted ears and really dirty but cute face and decided to adopt. We brought him home after being told he was abondoned by a male abuser, so he didn't like many males which was ok with us cause we didn't have many males in our lives besides we knew with love,care, and patience we could help him be a better little man. Well we loved, trained, loved him some more and within months he became better behaved then we thought possible. He fit right in with our other animals so everything was right with our world. Till one day he become sick and we took him to the vet and was told he had cancer well because we had pet insurance we could afford to treat him and his cancer. He did very well for about 2 years until time ran out. But to say he had a very happy and that he enjoyed being spoiled for those two years goes without saying. He truly touched my heart unlike anyone or anything ever has or will and I think about him and how he used to follow me around everywhere even to the bathroom, lay with me in my easy chair and in my bed. I truly miss him terribly. We soonafter got a call from a neighbor about wether we wanted to have a pup she found on her porch and we said yes. Well we named her Ginger and after several years about 10 to be exact we found out she had cancer. At first I thought I just can't do this again but we loved her so and since again we had insurance we decided to do what we could for her unfortunately she had tumors on her liver, on her lungs so we decided to just make her last days comfortable and spoil her to the best of our ability. We had two months with her before we had to put her to sleep because she couldn't breathe and so like Atrau we held them in our arms till the doggy angels came to take our baby girl. We will continue to love and miss both of them terribly but we also know that since all of our doggies we have either found them or rescured them we will continue to needy and unloved doggies homes until the day we pass on or cannot physically take care of our animals. But thank god for pet insurance and our wonderful vets after a time of mourning we will go forth and seek another loving pet to care for and be care and loved by.
