Last night I was updating my phone and it was bogged down with pictures and videos and refused to update one of my favorite aps, so I went searching for things to delete.
There are lots of memories and events still sitting in my albums and choosing which ones to delete became a difficult task. I know of course I can copy them to my computer, but, it was late and I needed a quick fix. So delete was my option.
While perusing through I found pictures of my/our first Shih Tzu Charlie Nacho Milam. He was a dream, perfect in every way. Everybody who ever me him, fell in love with him or became one of his groupies.
Charlie was my best child. He was always happy to see me, he never back talked me and I swear that if I went to bed for 3 days he would lay right there beside me until I got up. My children thought he was their sibling and loved him just as much. Charlie was Davids little buddy, always handy if he had a project to do.
Truly he was man's best friend!
It made me sad to see the pictures. And, it made me grab Emma and snuggle.
She's a typical Shih Tzu, loving, true and a wonderful companion! When we brought her home she was tiny and fiery...truth be known. She picked us! I knew how I had bonded with Charlie and wanted another male. We searched for several weeks and males were hard to find. When we found her we also found her brother, a black and white little meek thing that she overshadowed. She made it very clear to David and I that she was coming home with us. And she did. I also ran across pictures our rescue/found on the side of the interstate (wink, wink) Winifred, or Winnie as we called her.
They were good buddies. Winnie did not teach Emma to bark at the door, to be afraid to walk in the dark, and how to get excited when anybody shows up after being home alone. When we got her, she was scared of everything. Poor David terrified her right out of the gate with a simple bark collar. She always looked at him with a sketchy eye, but most of all,we all tried to ease her mind and make her feel loved, wanted and needed.
Emma thought she was a rockstar and would follow her anywhere.
Sadly, both Charlie & Winnie both had to be put to sleep. Charlie was gone almost 3 years before Emma came home with us. She is a completely different Shih Tzu, but we can't imagine life without this face. She had become a lot of company for me, especially with Chelsea on deployment. Emma follows me everywhere and always listens to my concerns and qualms. She also tolerates my goofiness. I can sing Opera to her all day and she just lays down and looks at me as if to say, enough already mom. But, she listens...and that's all that matters.
Winnie's inner voices finally took over and she rarely slept, grumbled most of the night and eventually became aggressive. We gave her a loving home for almost five years. We made her life peaceful and having her put to sleep was the most humane thing to do.
In my heart, I KNOW all dogs go to heaven! My Charlie and Winnie are running and playing and waiting there for they're bff, ME! The rational person would say, goodness, there isn't room in heaven for all those dogs? I say yes. Heaven is peaceful, loving and everything beautiful that you could never in this life imagine. So, I know my furbabies will be there waiting.
