Well it’s been a long
time since I sent you a letter, and I wish I didn’t have to send
this one; I would have written sooner but it was just to hard. Angus
was our boy from George and Sunshine he was 6years 10 months old
when we lost him to cancer. We found out 3/13/09 (Friday the 13th
) and we lost him on the following Thursday morning at home, he had
his whole family with him. I wanted you to know he was everything to
us, what a great dog and member of our family. I would not trade the
time we had with him for anything, I just wish it could have been
longer.
It was a shock to us, he
had no symptoms until 8 days before we lost him.
Our German Shepard
Bearon seems lost without him, Bear is 13 years old and Angus took
care of him. Angus even protected him from a Pit bull that was
climbing our fence trying to get to Bear. I know if Angus wasn’t
there that day we would have lost Bear. Angus was never ever
aggressive to other dogs before or after this happened, he was just
doing his job and protecting his family.
My husband Steve always
called Angus his big buddy, you see the following year after we
picked Angus up my husband had a major heart attack, he now has a
pacemaker/ defibrillator and was home for 5 years because he was in
and out of the hospital with other heart problems and Angus was
there for him, he kept him from falling into a deep depression
because someone needed him during the day. My husband is now back to
work and doing great. We will never forget Angus and I still can’t
think about him without crying but someday we will be able to get
another male brindle puppy from you, which my husband has
already named Gus after
his boy Angus; We had Angus cremated and he is sitting on the head
board of our bed, my husband said he was always in our bed and
that’s where he needs to be, and I agree. I’m sorry my letter was so
long but I just wanted to say thank you, if not for you we would
never have had Angus in our lives and a part of our family.
Sincerely,
Steve, Tracy and David
S.
