May 18th 2008 Roxy was put to sleep. Her back went out for the third time and she was also bleeing inside somewhere. The vet wanted to do all these different test and my mom didn't want to put her though all that. The best thing to do was to make her go to sleep. That wasn't a hard decision, it was a painful one. She may have only been a "dog" to some people but she was my life. We grew so close in the past two years and I feel like someone ripped my heart out. She had no use of her legs and she was just in pain. We are blessed to have had her in our lifes for six wonderful years, still I'm lost without her! We will miss you so much and so will you're best friend Sparky.

Here is a really nice poem I found for our sweet girl. ♥

If It should be

If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.

You will be sad, I understand.
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years.
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
The time has come -- please let me go.

Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me till the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve -- it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years;
Don't let your heart hold back its tears. ♥

Venna was hit by a car on September 13th 2007. She died right in our yard. I know now that Venna is in a much better place now. All I want to say is that Venna I love you more then words can express and seeing you that night was the worse thing I've ever saw, but at least I got to say goodbye. I'll NEVER forget your sweet face and how it always seemed like you had a smile on your face, You weren't just some dog you were part of my family. Rest In Peace sweetheart.
