RIP Little Poochie

Photograph of the doggy Poochie-RIP

We just received this e-mail this weekend and wanted to wish Poochie farewell.  Our hearts go out to his mommy Debbie & her family as we know how much pain they are going through.  We hope he has found Ace, Botton and Bubba in heaven and they are all healthy and running around like children.  God Bless all of our lost loved ones.

In May of '96 I found this black lab mix running in the streets of Manhattan...
Worried for him I picked him up and drove him home with me...
He had a collar on with a current rabies tag, was neutered, house trained and knew all your basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, etc...)
However I proceeded to bring him home and try to find his owners...
I contacted the HSUS in NY, and tried to find him thru the rabies ID tag with no luck of anyone
claiming they lost a dog that looked anything like him...
So we settled in for the night and I temporarily named him "Poochie" cause I didn't want to pick out a name for him and then someone claim him (that would've made me sad)...
So we waited and waited for Poochie's owners to contact us still with no luck...
He now knew his new name...
After 1 month of waiting I took him to my vet and got all him all new shots...
Took him to my town got him a new rabies ID tag...
And now I must tell you Poochie gave me some of the happiest memories I could ever get from a dog...
We spent 12 1/2 years together and my beloved Pooch just passed away this past Wednesday night...
He became very ill and I was spending all my time taking care of him, getting only 15-20 hrs of sleep
a week (and still keeping my job without collapsing)...
But I made a promise to him when I took him in, that I would love and take care of him til the end...
And that is exactly what I did....

I am so sorry for your loss. I am Baby Bubba's mom and understand the emptiness that you are feeling. I hope he finds Ace, Bubba and Botton and I know he is waiting and watching for you. You took him in and gave him the best life a dog could want. Once again my prayers go out to you to get you through such a hard time.
