Bity Baby was an angel puppy. She was born in the early morning hours August 1, 2003. She had problems from the start. At 3 weeks of age she developed ulcers on both her eyes and by 4 weeks she was walking bow legged on her front paws from a calcium defficiency. at 6 weeks we discovered a hernia which the vet said would be ok surgery was not needed. she made it through all of this. well she still walked funny. she was going to have to have surgery when she was full grown to correct her front paws but that was ok she would live! Or so I thought. From the time she was 3 weeks old i bottle fed her i got up 4-5 times a night to feed her and give her ehr meds even while i had to get up early morning for work at 3:30 am. but it was worth it. I had become her Mommy and she had become my daughter. One night she just whinned and I jumped up grabbing the bottle with one hand reaching for her with the other and my husband laughed and said "well aren't you just the little momma!" and i was. took her everywhere with me except to work. We went to the video store the grocery store and even mcdonalds drive threw. One of the workers even said "if you dont mind my saying so you have a really cute puppy!" like any mother being complimented on her child i was estatic. for 13 weeks and 5 days i was a mommy. I was Bity Baby's mommy and she was my dauhgter. it wasnt long enough. She seemed to be doing so well i didnt expect her to die. On november 6, 2003 i awoke at about 2:30 am with her on my mind. i instantly went to look for her i knew something was wrong and wheni found her she was gone from this life in to the next. She had went on to be with Jesus. I miss her so much. I cry everyday. i go to her grave everyday and i sing her song to her.You are my sunshine my only sunshine and she was. Dont get me wrong i have other dogs but i had a special bond with her i was her Mommy. Some people dont understand how much someone can love an animal but i do. Iknow all too well.I still dont know what caused my Bity Baby to die. I will never know. peole say you cant love a dog as a you love a baby but that is wrong. oh so wrong. a puppy's love is like that of a baby, pure. A baby and a puppy alike, they dont see your outer beauty or the money you have, they see all that matters, your heart. I would rather be loved whole heartedly by a puppy than half-heartly love by a 1000 humans. i would trade anything to have Bity Baby here with me. Bity Baby, remember, Mommy loves you soo much and one day we will see each other again. Be good and be happy baby. Love you and Miss you Lots Mommy
