Anna Puppy

Anna Puppy!

On February 28, 2012 we decided that it was time to put our Anna puppy down.  She had lived 15 years, and was Nik's buddy!

 

The story of Anna

One day a lady went to Nik's parents house and asked if this cute little puppy was theirs.  She was just old enough to be on her own.  Nik's dad said no, but if no one claimed her, he would take her.  A little while later the lady returned with Anna. 

3 years later, I started dating Nik.  Anna did not leave his sight very often.  She instatly knew if Mcdonalds was in the house (because that is Nik's favorite too).  She loved french fries.  Anna was also a neighborhood dog.  All the kids knew her.  When she would get out of the yard (we sometimes did not know how) she would either go to Nik's uncles house, he lived around the corner from them, or she would go up to his other uncle's house.  We always knew where to find Anna. 

Anna was always a good dog to help other dogs too.  One day Nik and I brought Jetta home.  Jetta instantly stayed by her side.  She followed Anna everywhere she went.  Even now, you can tell Jetta is a little lost.  Anna also loved babies.  If someone brought over a baby, Anna would sit there with them.  What can we say she was an amazing dog!

This is what I made for Nik when we found out Anna most likely had bone cancer.

The final days of Anna

We wanted to keep her around as long as we could.  Her vet said she would maybe only live 3 months....that was June of 2011.  She made it longer than anyone thought.  We were hoping to keep her around to meet Hudson, but she was a few weeks short.  We knew it was time.  It was one of the hardest things to do.  She wasn't just our dog she was the family dog.  On the last day, Nik gave her one last thing of fries, and we said our goodbye.  Her vet is so great.  I hope we never need to find a new one for our pets.  They let us sit with her as long as we needed.  We did keep her ashes, she was just to sweet and such a great memory for Nik.

She is and will continued to be greatly missed, she was honestly the best dog you could ever hope for.
