Someone asked me what's the most difficult thing about having a dog was. I replied, "the goodbye."
This is Snow at two months old. I adopted here Last December 1, 2021. It was love at first sight when the previous owner sent her photos to me. I adopted her because I want my other dog to have a playmate and a sister as well.
She seems kind and so cute. That's why I chose her. We drive 40 kilometers just to get her and bring her home. I was hesitant at first that she might be scared by the long travel but she's brave enough and loves long rides.
When we arrived home, she's really excited and get along immediately with my other dog Twinkle. Even if she is bigger than her.
I am so happy that day. I have a good night sleep because I cuddled her and she cuddled me too.
Snow is my alarm clock. Early in the morning everyday, she always licks me face and bites my hair so that I would jump out of bed and give her food.
She always keeps on sleeping with a funny position.
Her first week at home is really a wonderful moment to me and my entire family. She brought joy and laughter and made our home a happier place. I also sew some dresses and shirts for her to make her more cute and comfortable.
I also brought her to a veterinary clinic that week. She enjoys the vitamins for deworming and never cried during her shot. She also slept on my hand after she got injected. And It makes my heart melt to see a sleeping angel on my hands.
I always bring her whenever I go. And all the people surrounds us wants to hold her and play with her. No one can resist her cuteness overload. Especially the kids.

As days passing by, She's getting bigger and barks so loud especially at night.
There was a moment that I have a zoom meeting and I told her to be quiet and she commands on what I've told her. She's stubborn sometimes and hard headed but she always do what her momma says.
But not all story has a happy ending.
After three months staying at me being her new mommy. Something terrible happened. She just stop eating. And started vomiting. I disregarded it at first because I thought she just got an upset stomach. But hours later she throws up again. That is alarming to me and I give her dextrose powder so she won't be dehydrated.
She won't take any food or drinks water that's why I spoon feed her and syringe all the food and vitamins.
She's lethargic and different from the Snow that we used to see.
And the most unexpected day had arrived. March 8, 2022.
She's still weak and not eating. I stayed by her side the entire day to take care of her and give anything she needs.
But.
She vomited and poops some blood and smells stinky.
I knew it was parvovirus virus or distemper.
I cried and cried because I know that she won't live long. But I never gave up and keeps on taking care of her and gives the medicine that she needs. I can't bring her to the veterinary that time because I don't have any money yet. I felt regretful about that. I just asked some breeders if there's a chance I can do home remedies instead.
This is her last photo taken alive. She felt cold and still sad.
But she keeps on fighting to survive. My little girl is so brave and strong.
Unfortunately,
I lost her at March 9,2022, around 6:30pm.
I wish every animal live longer like us humans. Because they deserve all the love and happiness in this world.
As I'm writing this story, I feel sad and keeps on crying. Asking why do we have to go through this scenario. I know she's happy now in heaven.
Run free my love Snow. Momma will always miss you. I'm sorry I cannot afford to take you to the vet. I'm sorry for not saving you.
See you soon up there. I love you always and forever.
Love,
Momma
