My wonderful angel dog, Kirby, died very suddenly on May 15, 2009. He had cancer of the spleen which had spread throughout his body. I was totally unaware of his illness, because Kirby never displayed any sign of distress or pain, except at the last moments of his death.
Kirby came into my life 8 years ago while I was going through a very difficult period. He was my best friend, mentor, lover of life, patient, calm, strong, silly, and spirit filled companion from above. Everyone who met him, said he was an angel dog. He suffered in silence while the cancer spread. Never once did he let on he was ill.... what a testimony to his strength and courage.
Kirby performed many miracles in his short life, one of which was the mending of an important relationship in my life. I am forever changed by knowing him...... life is short and must be lived to the fullest. To all of you who have lost a dear soul, may you find peace and gratitude in knowing them.
