Life's lessons from my dog

when I first got my dogs I'm not sure how old was I but I do know that my middle sister was having her first baby and I was so excited that I didn't think that I'd get a dog better yet two for one wow! 

When I got them they both wanted me but they weren't ready to share me so after a month or two I told my mother to get a home for Harley kitarrah's sister, and I choose kitarrah because she was short and so was I.

I trained kitarrah very different but it was my first try, she was well trained but because I didn't let her play when she was a puppy that was my fault because I had a lot of learning to do. 

Kitarrah knew that I washed dishes but I really didn't know that she knows everything, and I couldn't hide anything from her because she would know. After I got done with my dishes I washed my face to compose myself and went to my bedroom then sat on my bed, but Kitarrah would put her paws on my chest and say "alright what's wrong, don't think I don't know... I know that you were crying now spit it out now!" at first I denied it but I gave in because it felt like I couldn't breathe, then kitarrah said "there now doesn't that feel better?" Actually, it did feel better! From that day forward we had a close bond like mother like daughter, I trusted kitarrah and she trust me. 

One day I let her and the rest of the dogs outside and just as I was about to leave the kitchen I heard my kitarrah Yelp and I went to let her back in and had her stay with me, 2 months later I was laying down and went to hug her when I felt something kicked my hand but I thought it was my imagination but I knew!

I told my mother but she refused to believe so I said "let's go to the vet and if I'm wrong then I'll pay you back but if I'm right then I'm not prepared yet!"

We went to the vet and waited in the lobby until they called us then took us to a room, when the vet arrived she said " okay what seems to be the problem" so I explained then waited for her to examine kitarrah,so I was so surprised when she said " yep she's pregnant" then my mother asked "how  long do we have before the puppies are born, we have 3 months right" .We were both shocked when she said " less than a week" boy that didn't sit right with my mother, It wasn't until 3 days after the vet that kitarrah had Fat-Tony (aka Nusu) was born but he was the only one who was born.He was so smart and by the time he was 2 weeks he opened his eyes and I potty trained him with in one hour and he taught me his new truck by putting his chin on the door cage and whimper because he really did needed to go to the bathroom, by 3 weeks I seem to notice that he has no teeth by video him but I didn't think anything of it at the time but their were other signs too. One time he wasn't getting enough milk and so I feed kitarrah puppy milk and then she had enough but it was too late, he was dieing since September 9 2008 then by October 4th 2008 he died at 4am in the morning but I was so sad because I promised Ashley that she could have him but I was wrong. Kitarrah showed me the meaning of being Free from all the negativity but I had a lot of learning to do, but she was very patient and I really wanted to change (somewhat) but I just didn't know it at the time.

Then kitarrah got pregnant again and I tried to tell my mom but again she would listen but I tried to tell her before she gave her temperament shot but she wouldn't hear of it so again she was pregnant and I was a grandma again, Ginger was born big first then shadow who born 2 x smaller than Ginger and Angel was 2x smaller than shadow. 

Angel was the runt of the litter, I tried to help her but it was too late by the forth day at noon she died and I cried my heart out. I really love having the puppies but I miss Angel because she didn't get a chance at life, but I was happy because I now have a family but not for long though. Again I potty trained them early, then I socialize them and when it came time for me to take them to the vet they were a natural. The vet couldn't believe how well behaved puppies were, and they didn't cry when they got their shots and I was so thrilled. I should have read to them all but I didn't but I wish I knew why, I tried to keep Kitarrah but I had to choose between Ginger and kitarrah, so because I loved kitarrah I sacrificed her to give her a great home but I was regretting it because she was supposed to be for me and to help me. Kitarrah you saved me countless times and I just so glad that I've met you and I wouldn't regret doing it again, you help me know that God knows everything and that he wanted to help by sending you to me!
