Age 8, November 12, 2002 - February 03, 2011

SPIKE..YOU LEFT US WAY TOO EARLY, BUT THE TIME YOU WERE HERE YOU LOVED LIFE AND THOSE CLOSE TO YOU..

SPIKE WAS BORN IN DELAWARE IN NOVEMBER, 2002. MY THEN GIRLFRIEND LIZ WAS LOOKING FOR A DOG AND SPOTTED HIM ONLINE..WE LIVE IN NEW YORK AND DROVE TO DELAWARE TO PICK HIM UP. I REMEMBER THE FIRST LOOK AT HIM HE WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS OLD AND HAD A LITTLE SWEATER ON AND WAS SO TINY! HE SLEPT THE WHOLE RIDE HOME BUT LET OUT A FEW GROWLS TO SAY HE WANTED TO GET HOME ALREADY..LOL WE GOT HOME, I PUT HIM ON THE COUCH AND HE JUST PERKED RIGHT UP AND STARTED TO NIBBLE ON MY FINGERS AND WAS RUNNING AROUND. THE FIRST DAY LIZ LEFT HIM HOME ALONE SHE RAN HOME FROM WORK AS FAST AS SHE COULD TO CHECK ON HIM..SPIKE WAS VERY ENERGETIC LITTLE BOY AND LIKE BEING MISCHEVIOUS! HE WOULD BITE ON TO THE END OF TOILET PAPER AND RUN DOWN THE HALL WITH IT, UNLOADING THE WHOLE ROLL! SPIKE TAUGHT HIMSELF WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO, RUN UP THE STAIRS, DO HIS BUSINESS OUTSIDE. HE WAS VERY SMART, BUT DID WHAT HE WANTED TO DO..NOT IN TO TRICKS OR ALOT OF COMMANDS, BUT STILL GOT THE GIST OF THINGS. HIS MAIN THING WAS THAT HE LOVED TO BE AROUND HIS PEEPS! HE HAD THE PEOPLE HE LOVED AND THATS ALL HE NEEDED. AS TIME WENT ON LIZ AND MYSELF SPLIT UP, BUT MANAGED TO STAY EVEN BETTER FRIENDS..MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE DOG THAT WE BOTH LOVED DEARLY. SHE EVENTUALLY MOVED AWAY AND LEFT SPIKE WITH HER SWEET, LOVING MOTHER ANA. WE ALL TOOK GREAT CARE OF HIM, AND WE HAD TO..HE WAS HAVING EPILEPTIC SEIZURES AND HAD TO BE RUSHED TO HOSPITAL A FEW TIMES. ALOT OF TIMES WE WITNESSED HIM SEIZING AND IT WAS TOUGH. BUT SPIKE WAS A TOUGH LITTLE SON OF A GUN!! HE WOULD ENJOY LIFE NO MATTER WHAT..HE WAS HUGE FOR A YORKIE, AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TEA CUP..IM GLAD HE WASNT, HE WAS A STOCKY 15LBS..AND WAS NOT SCARED OF BIGGER DOGS, BUT WOULD RUN FROM A LITTLE CAT OR A WEIRD NOISE..LOL HE WAS FUNNY LIKE THAT..I WAS ALWAYS HIS FAVORITE, BECAUSE HE KNEW WITH ME HE WOULD HAVE FUN..GO FOR WALKS, PLAY CATCH, WRESTLE AND I WOULD BUY HIM TASTY SNACKS. AND PLUS THERE WAS JUST THAT BOND YOU HAVE WHEN YOUR DOG IS YOUR BEST BUDDY. HE WOULD ALWAYS BE SO HAPPY TO SEE ME AND SOMETIMES KNOW I WAS COMING BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO THE HOUSE!! HE LOVED JUST TO SIT ON MY LAP,ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS ON THE COMPUTER,THATS WHY I JUST BROKE DOWN AND CRIED..I KNOW. WHEN HE SLEPT WITH YOU HE WOULD CUDDLE UP WITH YOU AS CLOSE AS HE COULD GET HIS LITTLE BODY NEXT TO YOU..IN THE MORNING YOU WOULD WAKE UP WITH HIM STARING AT YOU, HE KNEW YOU WERE STILL SLEEPING AND DIDNT WANT TO WAKE YOU..HE LOVED TO STARE IN YOUR EYES, ITS LIKE HE WAS TELLING YOU HE LOVED YOU..AND HE LOVED TO BE TOLD HOW MUCH YOU LOVED HIM AND HOW HE WAS A GOOD BOY..WE WOULD DO THAT TILL HE FELL ASLEEP IN MY ARMS... HE HATED HAIRCUTS. THERE WAS ONLY ONE LADY ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO IT..ONE TIME I GOT A CALL FROM PETCO TELLING ME THEY COULDNT FINISH HIS HAIRCUT, BECAUSE HE WAS BEING BAD. I PICKED HIM UP AND HE WAS LIKE HALF SHAVEN AND LOOKED SO FUNNY..LOL LIKE A LITTLE LION..LOL I KNOW HE WAS GOOD COMPANY FOR ANA AND WAS A GOOD LITTLE WATCH DOG..SPIKE WAS NOT THE BEST BEHAVED DOG BUT HE MADE UP FOR IT IN SO MANY WAYS..FIRST OF ALL, I KNOW EVERYONE THINKS THEIR DOG IS THE CUTEST..BUT SPIKE REALLY HAD A BEAUTIFUL, ADORABLE FACE..HE WAS SO FREAKING CUTE AND HANDSOME, AND LIKED BEING TOLD THAT..LOL HE LOVED TO BE CLEAN, HE LOVED TAKING BATHS AND SMELLED SO GOOD FOR A DOG..HE WOULD EVEN WANT ME TO WIPE HIS LIL ASS..TALK ABOUT SPOILED LOL..HIS EYES WERE BEAUTIFUL, THE WAY HE WOULD LOOK UP AT ME.. HIS EYES WOULD GET ME EVERYTIME, NO MATTER WHAT HE DID WRONG. OH GOD..I MISS HIM SO SO MUCH..WITHOUT SOUNDING DRAMATIC, THIS IS THE TOUGHEST LOSS I EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH..I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT, IT HAPPENED PRETTY SUDDEN..WE BROUGHT HIM ON MONDAY AND WAS GONE BY THURSDAY NIGHT..IT WAS SO HARD..I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL EVERYDAY FOR HOURS AND HOURS, HOPING I COULD SPARK SOMETHING IN HIM..BUT WHEN THEY CALLED THURSDAY MORNING I HAD A FEELING IT WAS BAD..BEFORE THAT I WAS GOING NUTS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP HIM. I EVEN CONTACTED A REMOTE HEALER TO TRY TO HELP..SHE CONVINCED ME BY MAKING MY BAD BACK FEEL BETTER OVER THE PHONE. AND EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HER I COULDNT PAY HER ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE ASTRONOMICAL HOSPITAL BILLS..SHE STILL TRIED TO HELP HIM, SHE WAS SO SWEET. BUT THAT LAST DAY HE COULD NOT LIFT HIS HEAD UP AND EVERYTHING GOT WORSE..SHE TOLD ME HE WAS READY TO MOVE ON AND SO DID THE DOCTOR..THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO DO AND I COULD NOT LET HIM SUFFER..I WAS WITH HIM TILL THE END..AS IM WRITING THIS, I STILL CANT BELIEVE HE IS REALLY GONE..JUST FEELS LIKE A BAD DREAM, THE WORST. IT WAS STRANGE THAT LIZ CALLED ME OUT OF THE BLUE THE WEEK BEFORE HE GOT SICK, AFTER WE HAD NOT SPOKE IN A LONG TIME..SHE CALLED FEELING SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED OR WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO ME..BUT I GUESS THE FEELING WAS ABOUT SPIKE..SHE LIVES FAR AND DID NOT GET TO SEE HIM BEFORE HE PASSED..SHE WAS HYSTERICAL WHEN WE TOLD HER..ITS BEEN ROUGH ON ALL OF US..SPIKE HAD A HUGE PERSONALITY, HE MADE AN IMPRESSION ON EVERYONE HE MET..THAT WHAT YOU MISS THE MOST IN DOGS,THE PERSONALITY..JUST LIKE PEOPLE THERE ALL SO DIFFERENT..I WOULD LIKE TO GET ANA A DOGGIE SOMEDAY WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT..AND GIVE IT ALL THE LOVE AND AFFECTION SPIKE GOT..DEFINITELY A DOG FROM A SHELTER..TO ANYONE READING THIS:LOVE YOUR PETS AND YOUR FAMILY EVERYDAY..YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. UNDERNEATH MY SADNESS AND HEARTACHE I KNOW SPIKE IS OK..WHEREVER HE IS..HE DESERVES IT..HE HAS DONE SO MUCH AND ASKED FOR VERY LITTLE..I LOVE YOU BUDDY SOOO MUCH AND I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU..R.I.P SPIKE
