There were some who thought I was a little crazy when I went to the pet store and picked this scraggly little 6m old puppy instead of the bran new tiny one that was to be born in a week or so.
What can I say. She picked me.
We went to the pet store to see if they had the type of dog we were going to be getting so I could see one to help hold me over until ours was ready. When I picked her up she immediately cuddled her head into my neck and stayed like that for 5 or so min until I put her back in the glass box. She hurried and jumped up on the glass and made a winey sound until I picked her up again and cuddled her. Josh just looked at me and said "your not leaving without her are you?"
We brought family to see her to help us decided. They looked at her skinny barley hair covered body and said " if thats what you really want".
OH it was!
Look how beautiful she became!
Suki was my first baby.
When I was lonely up here she would cuddle by me and make me feel better.
While I was pregnant and throwing up multiple times a day, she never left my side.
She would lay on my legs as I would curl over the toilet and then lick my arm when I was done.
She would lay outside the shower waiting for me to get done or by my feet as I did dishes.
Suki was NEVER more that 2 feet away from me at all times.
She would curl up on anything that was soft if we weren't there to lay on... blankets, shirts, purses or backpacks.
I think this little smirk is the one I will miss the most.
I told Josh I didn't think I would have made it through being sick with the baby if it weren't for this little dog.
i think this last one is my absolute favorite picture of her!!!
Suki I miss you so much. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you made with our family. You never had to stay home.... you were just like another kid who came everywhere with us. And I wouldn't change a thing about that ( although I would change what happened this week) LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU LOTS!
