Saying goodbye to a 16yr best friend...

Aug 24, 2009

Yesterday my mother called me to inform me of her intentions on putting down her dog of 16yrs, Chicharron. Chic was a miniture poodle who was a gift to my mom from my step-father, Tony on their 4th wedding anniversary. She was truly a momma's dog and was by her side at all times, was never bad and always brought a smile to mom's face. Mom was under the impression that Chic was more of a human than dog and saw her as a daugther. When I came to visit, she was always happy to see me, jumping up in the chair, laying down and putting her head on my lap. She was a great friend.

About 4yrs ago, mom got another poodle, a little black female that mom named after her aunt Katie Bee. Katie and Chic went everywhere together and mom figured that it would be good for Chic as she aged to have someone to attempt to keep her active. Then 2yrs ago, mom was given an apple head tan/white chihuahua which she named after her other aunt, Maxine. All three of them just terrorized each other. It was great.

Over the last couple of years Chic had beginning to have various health issues associated with her age. She was about 90% deaf and blind in both eyes, she started having other health related issues that was affecting her way of life. So mom with a heavy heart informed me that she was going to put her down and 45min later Chic was gone.

On the way home I called mom to check on her and she was depressed as she had just finished burying her. Chic went everywhere with mom and Tony, she would never be in a cage when in the car. She would just hop in and lay down on her blanket and would be on her marry way to where ever the destination. She was truly an awesome best friend.














Goodbye Chic.
