Doggie
Name: Berry
Breed: Labrador Retriever
Age: 4 Years
Crossed The Bridge: January 25, 2004
My Tribute: I waited a year on a "wait list"
to bring home my beautiful Brooklands Strawberry Blonde. She
was to be my Brood Bitch and start my own small home kennel
of Labradors. She was the light of my life. Smart, sweet, playful
- she was the light of our lives. She worshiped the Royal Orb
(better known as a tennis ball) and she was the center of our
lives. The soccer team mascot, neighborhood playmate and all
around sweetest baby girl. She was bred to a beautiful Champion
in Nov 2003 and was due in Jan 2004. She had all the right pre-natal
care, but nothing could prepare us for what happened. She had
a set of "identical twins" (one placenta). Together
they formed a ball and when the contractions started they split
open her uterus. We rushed her to the emergency clinic in the
middle of the night for an emergency c-section. All went well
and we had 5 beautiful puppies. But then, a pulmonary embolism
(blood clot) hit her heart and she was gone in a flash. It has
been six weeks of hand raising the boys, and while our love
continues to grow for them by leaps and bounds every day, the
pain of losing our precious girl has not subsided one bit. She
has been cremated and is waiting with two of my other labs to
be buried with me when it is my time to go. When it is my time
to go, I will not be afraid., I will rush to the Rainbow Bridge
with tears streaming down my face and my arms stretched out
to once again hold my baby! |
