I never thought I would ever have a little pup come to mean so much to me as "Angus". As I write these words I have tears in my eyes. Ok, the tears are really falling.
I became friends with Angus's human mom, Pam, way before he was born. Angus was born 1 week premature along with his sister, Mckinley. Angus was a fighter from the very beginning. You can see his small size compared to a pacifer.
Angus was so tiny; and it was very apparrant that he was different. He was what we call human babies, a downs baby. His Vet told Pam that he would be a veggie and that they needed to consider putting him at peace. Well, Angus, being the fighter he was "walked" that evening. From that point on Pam worked with him, tube fed him and constantly was his care giver. From then on Angus refused to be a "Veggie" . He walked, ate, played and lived his short life to the fullest.
Angus has touched so many lives, mine included, and much more than I could ever imagine. I know that one day when I leave my place here on earth that I will see all my Rainbow Bridge pets coming to greet me and they will be led by a small loving boston creature running to greet me and give me my long awaited hugs and kisses!! I firmly believe in all my heart, that Angus knew one day his human mom would have to make that decision of releasing him to Rainbow Bridge and he did not want to have to put her in that position, so he went peacefully and happy in his sleep. |
