A post I never wanted to make
My loveable sweetie Morticia, has passed away today. When I was around 11 years old both my brother and sister got Ferrets, Ozzy and Persephone. I envied them so much that they had a cute companion and I never I wanted a pet of my own. My parents discourage my getting a dog as we had one Lancelot but he was my mother’s and didn’t care for anyone else. I don’t recall how it happened but I won out in the end and they said I could look. So we tried a shelters but the day we went they were closed. The very next day (October 20th 1997) my mom tells me that there a litter of puppy so we checked it with my sister. I remember there was littler of 6 wks old who were a mixed of Black Lab and German Shepherd. Most of the litter had reddish area to their fur except for two which were tan. My preference was the red over the tan. There was also one 13 week puppy from the previous litter. Being an outcast in school in those days I went passed the two puppy who came right to front and went to the 13 wk old puppy, but that puppy back into a corner and wouldn’t come near me. That is when I saw my sister holding on of the puppies that had greeted us and who was tan she asked my mom if she could get that one. At that moment I knew that the puppy she was holding was the one. I remember holding her at that and bonding with her. A few days later after much debate we chose the name Morticia
In the course of her life Morticia was the sweetest dog I could ever ask for. She was reasonable healthy, she was overweight and she had a yeast smell sometimes, both ailments were cured with a change of diet. She loved attention and food. The only food she wouldn’t eat was grapes and lettuce. She never bite anyone maliciously (when she was 3 months she bite me, after my hand found it way between her teeth and a raw hide :P). She had deep low bark. She wore purple collar for most of her life along with a purple leash. I won’t go to in the end of her life because I’m trying to remember the good times but till the end she was a sweet, peaceful calm puppy and I feel blessed that she was part of my life and I hope that she knows peace now.
RIP Morticia 1997-2009
I promise my next post will be on happier note. The last post I had was in the same vein as this one -_-.
Lots of love
Jess
