A tribute to my princess….
We met on a summer day in 2009. I attended a soccer tournament for my sister at Betty Wilson park in Las Vegas, Nevada. On my way put, a lady with a box full puppies. In the far corner I see this little scruffy girl, smallest of the littler, just looking up at me. She had the sweetest little face and her leg stuck out a little when she sat down. I knew from that day in she’d change my life forever.
At that time, our family had just gotten through domestic conflict and family loss. Growing up in Vegas, so many childhood experiences are robbed from us due to necessity and lack of resources. We knew so little about how life would pan out, all of what we knew is destroyed and all we knew was the gut wrenching reality of an unraveled household. As many of those in broken homes know, this moment of our lives will always be the darkest. In a time so confusing, devastating, and life altering, it was Princess who held us together.
🌏
My earliest memory of her was the time we gave her the chance to stick her head out of the window for the first time. She couldn’t have been more than 3 months old. The exact moment she peeked her head out, she JUMPED out of our moving car into a gravel road. We all screamed in unison. she was OK, she had some scraped paws but from that day on we knew she was a wild child. She also loved barking at dogs on tv, knew how to sit, lay, play dead and bark at men.
🫧
My mom dressed her up in the silliest dog clothes, I knew this was healing for her.
🐩
Princess had been in our family from 2009-2024
She saw me go through elementary, middle, high school & college.
She saw the birth of my baby sister Kiley
And even met my sisters new dog, Louie.
He was the first dog to enter our lives since princess so she always established her dominance every-time he’d come over.
As time went on, we got older, time ran short, we all had to get jobs and even went through a whole pandemic together. In 2021 we had another serious family event that caused us to move. House #4, it was extremely hard and painful but we did it together, and princess held us tighter.
🧵
Things got a little difficult, conflicts and tensions grew in the home and as life did and so did taking full care of Princess, but I never gave up. I have been on my own since august of 2022, I was kicked out of my moms house during a bad argument that turned physical. I got up and took the only personal belonging that will ever matter to me, my dog Princess. I drove us to a park where we sat all day in the hot sun. I let her run around and do what she wanted and at that point just like the last 13 years, I fought for her. In that moment I had no place to go but I knew it didn’t matter as long I was with her. We ended up being able to live with my boyfriend & his brothers and later that year in a new apartment which is my current home. P.S. we were also gifted a new member to our family who i love dearly, my Ziggy sweetheart
👨👩👧👧
There was an instant feeling a relief when we moved in. I was finally able to provide a safe home for me and her as well as living with the most wonderful co-parent that is my boyfriend. I cried everyday that first week, I couldn’t believe this could be possible for us and that I was able to give it to her. I wanted to make sure she was with me through EVERYTHING.
🫀
We spent 2 beautiful years with princess here, we dressed her up on holidays, our new neighbors loved her, made her home cooked meals sometimes, and even let her roam around downstairs since we knew she wouldn’t get too far but all in all, she was happy. As time when on, my old girl started showing her age. In the last few months, I remained in denial of what was to come one day. She mostly used her nose, she’d bump into things, remained quiet, and spent her days just resting. I knew it would come, I just wish that she would’ve held on a little longer, just Til I got home. Come to think of it, I would not have been able to give her final treats, take her on her last walk, and the things that come with putting a pet down..she lived life like it was her last these couple months. she had reached a point where I was just enjoying every second with her. She hated the vet and every time she saw we were going she’d freak out, it’s so her style to go at home..I can’t blame her. she was just as scared as I was.
She changed my life forever and will always remember her….I hope she visits me in my dreams and guides me, she’s all I had and the only thing I couldn’t protect her from was time.
Jan 2009 - June 2024
