In Rememberance Of My Little Man
by Dolores Crockett.........................................
In Nyc on December 4,2005 it snpwed outside it was Brandon;s first snowfall. I picked him up and let him look out the window at the white powder.I tool out his big brother Prince (boxer mixed) I came back one hour later at 9 am and Brandon was dancing all around,I decided to take him in the snow to the park for a few minutes.I put his coat on and his boots and out we went.I took prince with me also to this day I do not Know why.I carried Brandon in my coat but he was so excited he wanted to walk in the snow this was new for him as he hated dirt on his pads.Prince had run into the trees to go to the bathroom,As I put Brandon down he pranced in the snow.All of a sudden A dog about 60 lbs came out of nowhere and attacked Brandon(Brandon was only 3 lbs) As Brandon screamed and I screamed Prince came out of nowhere and attacked the dog that had Brandon.As the other dog throw Brandon down Prince released his hold on the dogs throat and ran to Brandon.He licked the blood off him and picked him up and brought him to me as if to say Mommy I can not fix him,here you fix him.The attack was only seconds,but it seemed forever.
I ran with Prince to my vets office three blocks away it was 9:15 am.As I banged on the door my net knew something was terribley wrong.As I told my vet what happened he examined Brandon he had a hole in his neck from a canine tooth,a broken jaw and he did not know what kind of internal injuiries.He gave him iv right away.He explained that Brandon lost a lot of blood and was in Shock.He told me I had to leave Brandon with him.
it was now 9:45 am I went home but I paced for one hour at 11;05am I went back to the vets office spent my time with Brandon talking to him,etting him but he was not coming out of the shock.
I asked my vet if he needed Prince for a blood transfusion he said we had to wait. I went Home.
It was now 12:30pm and I lit a candle to Saint Michael the defender of the weak and said please st.michael if he is going to suffer takr his life so he can be at peace and not feel any pain.He was just to tiny for that.It was now 12:50 pm and I started to email brandons godmother to tell her what happened as i looked up the candle was out it was 1 pm.I looked again at the Cand;e and the light was back on at 1:12pm my phone rand and my vet did not say the words yet but I knew He died,at 1pm when the candle went out.
Prince did not eat for 5 days and I do nothing but cry.He is at rainbow Bridge whole again and playing with other furbabies and I know he is waiting for me.God bless my little man I niss you and love you dearly.
