Shoes

I rescued Shoes out from under an old abandon house with her brother, Bones and two other sisters when they were about 7 weeks. The two other sisters found homes together in Eugene, OR but I kept Shoes and her brother Bones.
I lost my beloved Shoes on October 16th 2010 from Leukemia, she was 13. This was the most difficult decision to make as I was told from several vets that chemotherapy could extend her life. But for how long? And to what extent would I have to put her through to keep her around longer? I just couldn't do that to her.
She was a little scaredy cat. She was terrified of my husband and he adored her. She was afraid of lots of things around the house so she kept to herself a lot. But she loved me and trusted me to the fullest. We were bud's and I can't believe how much I miss her. She will be in my heart forever!
