You came into our life 1/26/19 no bigger than a cell phone. 1.5 weeks into life on this earth it was unknown if you would make it. Your daddy and I kept you in a milk crate on a heating pad in the bathroom, bottle-fed round the clock. I didn't know it yet, but quickly you grew to one of my biggest supporters, and protectors, and were with me every step of the way. Your time here was too short Minnie...just like your name.
You talked back to us in a way that will never be done again. You hopped when you tried to run, climbed on top of me, and applied pressure when I was having an episode of PTSD. You will never know the amount of support you gave me when I wanted to crawl back in that bottle after retiring from the Fire Dept. Yet, you completed your Service Dog training and knew your job.
Last night you went in your sleep to cross that Rainbow Bridge knowing that we will see you another day.
I need you to watch your mom Char and sister Aggie, to help them go thru this time. Help your human brothers and sisters to heal their heart. Mom and Dad will never forget you Minnie. 🐾🩷🐾
