June 5, 1996 - April 4, 2013
I lost another precious Maltese today, the third one since my husband passed away almost 2 years ago. Tashee returned to the breath of God late this afternoon. I felt that it was going to happen soon. I was with her when she seemed to be having a heart attack and then was gone in 20 minutes or so. Tashee was almost 17 years old - a little old lady, she was. She was given to us by her owners when she was about 3 years old.
We originally had 4 Maltese dogs (Poppy, Pal, Tashee, and Juniper - Tashee's baby who came to us before his mom), and they are all gone now. They were all different and very special in their own ways. Each one was my favorite. They were one of the greatest blessings of my life.
My mother used to worry about me because she said they were all so close in age that I would lose them all almost at the same time, which is what has happened except Poppy who passed away in 2008. I am grateful that I adopted again and did not come home tonight to an empty house. I am also grateful that Tashee did not have a long illness but simply chose today to go to Rainbow Bridge. She was an independent woman and spared me the pain of not having to put her to sleep.
I love you Tashee, my darling girl who always slept by my side and loved me more than I deserve.
