We got her when she was just 10 months old and we were living in Anchorage, Ak. From the moment we saw her, we fell in love with her. 13 years later, she is such a part of our family and a part of my daily walks. She is such a sweet gal and has been the best companion for the Bearchell Family. Today I got the news that she has oral melonoma and it is malignant. I don't know to what extent but deep down I am preparing for the worst. We will make an appointment with the vet for next week to see what our options are concerning her well being.
I sit at work and try to concentrate on what needs to be done, but my mind keeps wondering back to Emma and knowing she is at home laying in the living room waiting for us all to arrive home. I know as soon as I get into the house the tears will begin to flow once again and I will want to give her such a big hug, she will probably wonder what's going on. I also know that we are going on walks everyday that she has left. I don't care if it's just up the block and back!!!! She loves walks and together we will enjoy hitting the pavement and being in each others company. I may even just let her stay off the leash which is what she loves the most.
A loyal and dependable walking buddy she has been. She never complains about the pace or the distance. She allows me time to think and pray and all the while she just keeps walking beside me.
Emma I love you my dear walking companion.
