from the first day i saw him i fell in love with him . he was the
sweetest little ball of fur that touched all that met him. his name
was mika. he wasn't the healtiest but the sweetest soul that god has
blessed me with. he was sick most of the time , as a puppy he
couldnt play very much...mika had hip displaysia. he could barely
walk and i would massage him daily even if it only helped a just a
little bit. i couldn't afford surgery...so a doctor suggested an
alternative .....keep him imobolized and give him vitamin c every
day......i questioned it every day.....because it made his tummy
upset.....while he was still developing.....gave him the best
foods...and took him to this vet homiapathic doctor who did
acupunture......and it worked.....he was feeling better.......then
finally i decided what he needed most was to play and be the puppy
he still was........8 months old...it did wonders....he grew
stronger and happier every day.....my parents although rejected
him...no more dogs my dad said since i was still living at home with
my parents....grew to be his best buddy and companion.... he became
my dad's shadow....wherever grandpa went mika was there at his
side... my dad loved him most.....as years went by i got married and
tried to take mika to my new home....he loved me still because i was
his mommy and his life...he couldnt adjust to my new husband was a
bit jealous....actually snapped at him constantly...i couldnt
believe that it was in his nature.....so i had to leave him
reluctantly with grandpa and grandma....that was his
home.....everyday he would wait for me to come and visit him...my
mom would tell me like clock work how he knew i was coming to see
him and waited by the door for me.....she knew i was coming because
mika was like an alarm clock......well as time went on.....i got
divorced and moved away to vegas...i knew deep down inside that was
the last time i would see my baby......my mika....he was 10 going on
11 now....i just had a feeling.....i said my goodbyes to him and 2
months later....my parents had to put him down....i cried my eyes
out for a week and still do now when i think of him...i had a dream
at least i think it was that he found me.......in vegas...i heard
mika barking....he ran to my bed one moring......waking me up......i
got to give him one last hug and told him i loved him.......now i'm
back home on maui...it's a constant reminder of mika...sometimes i
still feel like he's around...while i'm watching tv....i feel his
head on my lap....like old times....he is buried in the back of my
parents house and where he lay's a beautiful plant grows with his
favorite stuffed toy to mark his grave....from
mommy....always.....love me.......love goes on.....and on and
on.........
