My love started for Tiffany back in January of 1993. My family and I had just moved to Alabama, and with the kids in school and not knowing anyone in our new surroundings I became lonely. We decided that a small companion would be good company, so after searching different pets I finally found Tiffany at of all places a Flea Market. I did not take her home that day but after seeing her called the breeder and went to his home to pick her up. Unfortunately her living conditions were less than satisfactory. On our way home I realized that I had just bought a sick puppy. I took her to the vet the very next morning and he let me know that she was very sick with a parasite that attacks the lungs, and is contracted from dirty living conditions and drinking stagnant water. I called the breeder and informed him of my findings and he said for me to just bring her back and pick out another puppy. I asked what would happen to Tiffany and he said oh I will probably put her down. Well needless to say I gave him a piece of my mind, and told him I would nurse Tiffany myself. It was a one week struggle but my new little baby slowly got better. After our many nights of sitting up She and I bonded and that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Tiffy went everywhere I went. Her favorite thing to do was take the kids to school in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. Her internal alarm clock would stare at me with anticipation at 2.45pm every afternoon as if to say come on Mom we are going to be late to get the kids.
We traveled back and fourth from Alabama to Maine twice a year and Tiffy was always eager and ready to go. She loved to travel. She was my best friend to go places with, to snuggle with, and she never cared if I was sad,angry, or sick. She just was always there with me. In 2000 my parents moved to Alabama from Maine and when I had to go to work in 2002 to help out with college for my daughter, Tiffy started spending her days with her grandparents while I was away at work. My Dad said she went to Doggie Daycare. She loved to go to my Parents house. My Dad spoiled her rotten. When I would drop her off in the morning she would trot down the hallway and jump into bed with him and look at me like see ya tonight mom, I am going back to sleep. :)
It was hard watching Tiffany grow older. She began to sleep a lot and could not seem to get around as well. She was 14 and had a sudden onset of Congestive Heart Failure. The Vet tried everything he could, but her old heart just gave out on her. I have felt like my heart has been ripped out. My Dad died in February of 2007 and now I have lost my best friend also. I know she is with my Dad, because they had a very special bond. Some people say that Animals don't go to heaven, but I know with all my heart that I will see my Tiffany again someday. Until then she will live in heaven with her Grandpa. I love you Tiffy.
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.
