I finally decided that I was ready to adopt a dog after so many years without one. I went in looking for a pit bull. But when I saw this quiet chihuahua who looked at me with those huge dewy eyes I lost my heart. Tasha had a cast because she broke her leg. The shelter people told me there was a possibility she would to have an amputation of the entire leg, and would I still want her? Of course I did, and I knew the amputation was inevitable due to chihuahuas being so fragile, the leg would not heal properly. I adopted her a senior dog, 9 yrs old. Brought her home and took care of her wound – she trusted me immediately. Tasha was my constant companion, my baby, all 6 lbs. of her. We travelled together, went on errands together, everyone in the community looked forward to seeing her. She was a fashionista and would stick her neck out so she could wear a sweater when it got chillier. The dog was smart as a whip. I will miss her pressing her face into my neck – she loved to be held. And those kisses! I never knew a tiny dog would have a long tongue!?! Those ridiculous facial expressions with her tongue hanging out to the side always gave us laughter and joy. She was not a fan of my bf for the longest time, but she finally trusted him and they had a bond that I did not expect. It warmed my heart. Her last few days were roughhospicewe knew I told her how much I loved her, and how much joy she brought me. We will miss our sweet loving and devoted buddy Tasha. Thank you Pet Passages ( Bob).I felt Tasha was in good hands and given the dignity she deserves.
