Friday was a sad day, Friday my parents had to make a very hard decision and send Pele up to dog heaven. We found out a few months ago that he had cancer, and even then the vet said he only had a few months to live. We hoped for the best, hoped he would beat it, hope he would live a much fuller life. My mom did everything in her power to make that happen, it was like Pele joined her in battling this terrible disease that keeps taking away the best of our family. It's taken me two days to write this, but I realized I needed to write this and blogging always help me in the same way keeping a journal would. From the minute we first saw him Pele was a part of our family. I remember going to the farm to see some puppies and out of the whole bunch of him I liked him the most. He was much darker than the rest of the pack and I knew my mom and dad were looking for more of an aussie look alike from our first dog. But he quickly became our favorite when he followed us all the way to the back of the farm to check out the adult dogs who were in a different kennel. The whole ride back to West Palm I rode in the back with him as we tried to think of a good name for him. I don't quite remember how Pele stuck but it sure was a great name since he quickly became obsessed with tennis balls, soccer balls ... okay basically anything round and soon later frisbees. He was really our first aussie who was coordinated enough to do the frisbee and he was awesome at it. Awesome and obsessed! I know he lived a really happy and loved life at my mom and dads house ... as there sign says "Spoiled Aussies Live Here". No one will ever replace him in my heart and just like other family members before him I'll miss him everyday because my mom put it best today when she said he wasn't just a dog he was my friend.
Pele I know you're chasing frisbees and squeeky orange balls all day long in heaven with no one to share with ... because I know thats what your heaven would be. I love you buddy ..
