Best Friend at Rainbow Bridge
We lost our beautiful Houston yesterday. We knew it was coming, but Papa could only support his decisions. He was still eating his meals like a trouper, but was needing help getting up. You can't win against cancer.
The hardest thing is the goodbye. We love you Houston, and we know you are waiting for us and being cared for with Chico, Honey, Dusty, Domino, Scrappy, Maddie, Chester, Duke, and Sam. Zeke, Sadie, Aeron and Winkie are missing you already.
You were a dedicated pal to Papa, and that was my plan when I found you in the Dachsie rescue in Nashville. They very kindly sent you over as a shotgun traveler in an 18 wheeler.
Your life had been horrid before that, the rescue pulled you out of Georgia where a breeder had dumped all of her dogs in a hotbox at an animal control in the middle of summer. Guessing you were about three and had never been out of a cage, or handled and loved by humans. It took a while, but Papa and you came to become besties, and until just this past year, you were together nearly every minute of each day. You Houston made the biggest difference in Papa's emotional life from the moment he met you, and I loved and adored you for all you did.
Watch over your buds up there till we can join you all. Love and tears.
