My vet walked into my place of business. In his hands he had a red haired pitbull that was 7 weeks old. He put her in my hands and said “if you want her you can keep her, if not I’ll find a home for her.” That was all that had to be said. She was by my side for the next 14 years. Whether we were going to work or for a walk. Going to visit grandpa or heading on a pet friendly vacation. She was the best. She was there for me through the loss of my brother, mother and father through the years. Always with unconditional love. Allie was every part of my life. I’m not sure when the hurt and tears will go, but I would do the 14 years all over again if I had the chance.
