Spikie My Love
My heart was ripped from my being
August 28 at 10:20pm when I lost my more
precious then life itself baby boy, Spike, to a heart attack. He would have
been 6 yrs old in 20 days and without warning he crossed over to be with his
brother Merlin who we lost 2 yrs ago next month. I will miss him so very
much as he was my constant shadow who my world revolved around.
I am thankful that he went so quick with no suffering, but I was not ready
to give him up yet - everyday I prayed he would outlive me and that I would
never see this day. The pain is so unbearable knowing that he is no longer
here to wake me up with his kisses or nudge my hand for a pat or bug me for
a handout or run to the door to greet me when I returned home.
He was my cherished spoiled brat
and he knew it.
We had 6 wonderful years together after I bottle fed him for days when he
was born till he had the strength to suck on his own power. I was home all
day with him that day, he helped me cann tomatoes and cut the grass and
when I let him out to go pee before bed, he didn't return in 5 min to be let
back in for his nite-nite treat, so Jill and I went looking for him and he
was laying in the grass so peaceful. I knew as soon as I saw him laying there
he was gone.
I started cpr, but he was gone. Jill nudged him with her nose, but he was gone.
The neighbors helped me put him in the car and I took him to the ER - I
drove ever so slowly cause I knew it would be the last moments we would
spend together. I had them do an autopsy and he will be creamated and his
urn set next to Mer's on the special shelf in the livingroom.
Life will be so empty for Jill and I.
Nothing can replace the loving look in his eyes as he teased me playing keep
away with my slipper or drooling a river waiting for a morsel of
leftovers - he was my baby boy and I was his mom toy.
Till we meet again Spike, I will cherish your love forever. Be a good boy
'Above' and give Merlin a hug. I'll miss you so both very much with every
breath I take.
