Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - A Gift from my Angel
| Last week as I was moving my old 35mm SLR camera (you know, the old clunky ones that took awesome pictures) to get some papers, I don't know why but I opened the case, and saw 22 pictures in there. I immediately took the remaining 2 pictures and got them developed, and there were 15 pictures of my Brady from last summer/fall-he was our 2 yr old cocker spaniel that we lost in May from IMHA. I still miss him so very much, and still cannot believe he is gone. Our other cocker is great, but just doesn't fill the void left by my special, perfect Brady. Pictures and videos and memories are all I have left, and each picture is priceless to me. Regarding getting another puppy-I am awaiting another from my breeder-she is breeding 2 dogs that will be from both of Brady's parents lines. The father would be Brady's uncle, and the mother a distant cousin, but it is as close as I can get, and will be the same color-silver buff, which is almost white. I really want to have a part of him, and for me this puppy will seem like a part of him has come back to me. The dog is due to go into heat in November, and although I want a puppy so bad right now, I need to wait for this puppy from this planned litter. I know that no other dog will ever replace him, but maybe when I hold this puppy part of him will be with us. I do not relish the thought of potty training in the winter, but pregnancies do not revolve around the calendar! For everyone that is still fighting-keep fighting! Sandy |

| Sandy, What a wonderful surprise for you finding those photographs. I understand absolutely your desire for the particular puppy. If I could find Georgie's bloodline I would be there. I still look for her in the eyes of one of my new dogs. Just in case! I miss Geogire every day. I love my two new dogs but..............I keep wondering if the bond became so strong because of the demands of the illness and I know that no other dog will ever need me as much as Georgie did. Your new pup will be a fantastic new year's gift to yourself Best Wishes Steph |

| Sandy, What a wonderful surprise that must have been. I am sorry that I didn't take more pictures of my dogs. I usually only broke out the camera when the snow hit or my daughter would take pictures at Christmas. Good luck with your new puppy. Penny |
