You will alway missed my darling Ellie
You brought so much love to my family and you were my first dog.
Ellie died in 2006 of an enlarged heart where in the end she could no longer laydown, drink or eat.
She will be with us always.
*Drawing is based on a picture of her at 7 years.*
I remember when I came home from the last day of school and entered the 'dog yard' where Charlie our other dog was and I ran around the corner to see you Ellie, you were breathing loudly and choking like someone was pulling your collar.
I called over my sister and we decided to take you to the vet, we shoved you in the back of the car and drove. The vet told us you either got a snake bite or had a heart attack it turns out you had a heart attack. The vet gave us pills to give you everyday.
A month passed and in the end you were too sick to continue and the vet came one early morning and put you to sleep...Charlie watched your eyes finally close through the window and we could see the dread and sadness on his face too. For weeks after you passed Charlie did not eat or do anything but sleep. We were all greatly saddened, but the worst time was when we had to bury you. Oh Ellie you could of still been alive now
and I still miss her so much, she was like my second mother...I found this photo of me and my friends with her when I was about 5 that i'll post tonight.
