One Month since I lost My Sade

Today marks one month since I lost my beloved Sade. I had Sade almost 10 years when she past. Sade was born September 1, 2003 and she was euthanized June 1, 2013 with my mom and I by her side. She was the only girl born with 2 brothers. She had the best personality from the start, and I always felt she knew just what I was saying to her. She was the perfect dog for me. She didn't like the #1 or #2 on her so she was very easy to train. This was perfect for someone who hates the smell of poo and doesn't like cleaning it up. She loved to play with my parent's dog Ace, and I loved spending time with her. She was the one to greet me when I came home for the past 9 years and 9 months. She was my company, my protection and my push thru the hardest times. When a dog looks at you and loves you thru anything they become your best friend. Now this best friend never lives long enough, but the place they find in our hearts will last for an eternity.

Sade had Cancer and I didn't want to face the signs that were there. She stopped eating, walking and wanting to play. Although Sade was an older dog she still had her puppy ways. I think most Rottweilers always will. She was great and I truly miss her.

I wanted to start this blog, because I wanted to track my journey to getting a new dog, raising it and enjoying her just as much as I enjoyed Sade. I know Maya will never take her place, but she will fill some of the emptiness I feel each and everyday I go home.

This first post is dedicated to Sade. The best dog I ever had. The dog I would do anything for including trying to carry all 140 pounds of her the last few months she was here on this earth. Feeding her by hand and buying costly medication for her just to keep her here as long as possible. In the end I knew letting  her go was the best thing for her.

Sade now rest at the bottom of my step in an Urn on my table. She loved to sit at the bottom of the steps watching all doors and making sure anyone who came in the house would have to cross her before they got to me. She earned that place that we would frequently fight over. I didn't want her on the steps since she was having problems with her knees. She didn't want to be to far away from me. Her Urn has a poem that reads 'If Love Could Have Saved You, You Would Have Lived Forever'. I honestly believe that. Not having kids or a spouse I spent a lot of time with Sade and a lot of money!!! LOL She was a good dog. I love her very much, and I can't wait to start my new journey with Maya the Great!!! I don't know if any dog could be as spoiled as my 140 baby that ate cooked string beans almost every night, watermelon in the summer, french fries when I cheated on yet another diet and pizza crust when I didn't feel like cooking. She will forever be in my heart, and I will never forget her.
