I purchased Pepe' from a man in Pearl, MS - he did not have papers for him, but it was love at first sight, so I told the man that it was okay. I had no need for papers anyway, I just wanted a baby to call my own.
Pepe' was sent to Heaven - Aug. 31, 2006, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and God, I miss him so much. Pepe's was my everything: Remembering my Lil Man Boy brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat each time I say his name or think of him, but the time had drew near and I was tired of watching my little companion suffer. He was a victim of inbreed and it caused his bones to start deteriorating and the vet said that he would only get worse and that he was too small for any surgery to help him. I wanted to be selfish because I loved him so, but my being selfish was totally unfair to him, so out of the strongest known love that a person can have for a little chihuahua and knowing that his suffering was not his fault, nor mine - I made the arrangements for him to rest in peace. Having him put to sleep was the most traumatic experience of my life and I honestly didn't believe I could cope with my loss, he was like one of my children. The heartache I felt was dreadful. A part of me died that day as well. His absence from my house will haunt me....but I will have to remember that it was for his own good that I was forced to make that final decision. He had suffered so much for so long and was only getting worse. I will remember all the comfort and love that having him brought to me & my children over the time that I was allowed to be his owner and caretaker. We both needed each other and provided for each other a love like no other and I believe that the Lord and time will help ease my pain. Now after just a couple of days, and crying for over a week now, I have come to realize that I did the best thing for my Lil Man Boy. My Pepe' had been my life for so long, (he was more loyal than my own kids) that I couldn't imagine a future without him, he had such a impact on my life, but after grief comes a time for giving thanks. I am so grateful for the love and trust that I shared with such a beautiful little chihuahua. Pepe' is gone, but not forgotten.
This memorial is currently being sponsored by a Private Sponsor.
Sometimes due to veterinarian bills or financial hardship, pet owners suffering from pet loss are unable or unwilling to pay for pet memorials.
It is very difficult for us at Immortal Pets to delete memorials especially one such as this. We try to sponsor some of them temporarily while funds allow until the pet owner is able to contribute to the pet memorial or in some cases kind hearted pet owners make donations to help us keep pet memorials online.
We would also like to use this space to encourage pet lovers to continue to support your local ASPCA. By reading these pet memorials you will find a great many of these wonderful animals were adopted from the ASPCA or other shelters. Please help us continue to support the animal shelters.
