For The Love Of Sydney

page 10

     With Sid no longer with us, our home is not the same.  It's so quite and still in here but not in my mind.  I'm still feeling a lot of anger for what had happen because it didn't have to end this way.  She was taken from us so suddenly and so young.  I know this sounds crazy but we're still breaking up over this little pup.  It's going to take a long time to put her memories to rest in my mind.  I know most people might say, (It was just a dog) to us she was our family.  

     Our other three dogs, Zues, Zoey and Dutches are missing her too.  When we came home Wednesday without, Sydney they knew something was wrong.  Zoey searched every room in the house looking for her sister.  She stared at us as if asking, "Well, where is she?  What did you do with her?"  For five days now she has done nothing but sleep.  The same goes for Zues, so I know they are depressed, lonely and confused.  I've heard over again that dogs have no compassion, no feelings.  This is not true, I witnessed the love and compassion Tuesday night when Zues tried his best to comfort Sydney in her last hours.  I see it today in the sadness in their eyes.  

     People please, if you take nothing else from Sydney's story, I beg you to be aware of who you put your trust in, in the time of an emergency.  Search for answers on the computer, ask your veterinarian a hundred questions and most important demand a simple blood test!   Don't walk out that door without a blood test.  You might not get a second chance.
