Jasmine always had a way of knowing when I needed a wet kiss or just a subtle smile.  She was my fur baby from the get go.  She loved to go camping and swimming.  She had the very best that I could offer.  When I was going through some of the most difficult times in my life she was always there.  We shared a very special bond.  She was NOT just a dog.  We could communicate with our eyes.  Before Christmas we noticed she had two lumps near her throat.  I knew it wasn't good. On the morning of January 19th she gave me a look I will never forget.  It told me she was done fighting and I needed to let her go.  I found a strength in me that I did not know existed.  I held her the entire time as the vet gave her the injection.  I spoke softly and she and I shared one last look into each others eyes and he said "she's gone".  I feel an emptiness that is hard to express to those around me for she was my little angel.  I know she lived a good life and I am proud of myself for not being selfish.  Knowing her was one of the best things in my life and I will never forget the special bond we had.  Mommy loves you baby girl......til we meet again.
