A friend sent this to me that she received from someone in an email - not sure of the author but wanted to share it with everyone.

I may be a little different, but my heart still beats the same.

I feel no pity for myself.  I feel no regret or shame.

You help me do the little things, that most can do their own.

You filled the need of my broken soul, and love is all you’ve shown.

I wouldn’t be here without you, I wouldn’t make it without you here.

I’ve been with you when you’ve had enough, I’ve kissed away your tears.

I love that you never give up on me, you won’t let me give up on myself.

Even if I had one wish tomorrow, I’d never change the hand I was dealt.

You rescued me, gave me my name, and you always say it with love.

You pet me head, you kiss my face, and give me hugs.

I’ve got nothing to give you, but you take me as I am.

You cheer me on daily, you’re my biggest fan.

You take me on our outings, I ride right next to you.

You always make sure that I’m happy, and we have fun things to do.

Many people look at us, you pretend that you don’t mind.

They ask you “why you didn’t put him down?” You said “because treasure’s hard to find.”

Tripawds are indeed a treasure! Being a Tripawd pawrent is awesome.

Jackie, Angel Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
