Haylee

2009 - 2021

Its been this amazing girl and me for the last twelve years (minus a week). She is my best friend and holds my heart in her paw. There isn't a memory over the last twelve years that she isn't a part of, and gosh we have had some amazing ones. I got her when I was 22 as a puppy, now I am 34 and she is my old wise soul. You can say we grew up together and I learned so many firsts with her. I learned patience of a different sort and to talk with my hands. I learned to teach with ASL and when you flash the porch light, its enough to get a deaf dogs attention. I learned to put the pop tarts on a higher shelf, and what a velcro dane was. I learned that buying the $500 big barker bed was pointless because you are not going to tell Haylee she cant sleep on the bed, not no way or how. I learned she was my constant companion and has gotten me through a few terrible breakups/a few moves. I learned that she was my family and I would live in my car with her before I rehomed her, because she is not disposable. I learned the meaning of liver disease, mobility issues and old age. I worked more, I paid for the expensive medicines, foods and supplements. I did the shots at home and I learned
how to deal with the incontience. I learned the value of a cuddle and earning the love of an old dog. I learned that in the end, her body is failing her miserably and in the end shed teach me one more life changing lesson; the hardest one yet, how to say goodbye... I am not ready for today... I am not ready to live in a world that she doesnt exist in anymore... I am heartbroken. I love you so much Haylee....
