Precious Diamond Cook was born in mid-march 1994. I was 8 years old and had been bugging my parents to get a dog for a while. I will never forget when my Mom told me that the neighbors dog was having puppies and we could get one. There was only 2 puppies in the litter, one boy and one girl. The boy was huge and Precious was just so tiny she could fit in the palm of my hand. We decided to name her Precious Diamond because everyone said that she was just so precious and she had a small, brown mark on her head that was a perfect diamond shape. She was sort of timid but very loving and easy to train. She loved to chase cars (in our fenced in front yard) and chase her tennis ball.
When she was a few years old we decided to breed her. She gave birth to two very beautiful puppies but they were deformed and were only with us for a few days. We did not want to put her through that ordeal again so we decided to get her spayed not long after.
About a year or so ago, she developed arthritis in her hips. She was doing well until about a month ago. Then she started going down hill. She stopped eating and started to have seizures. We knew that we would have to make one of the hardest decisions of our lives. Last friday, my dad, sister and I took her to the vet. My mom couldn't stand to be there when we let her go so she decided to stay at work. I do not blame her at all as this was one of the hardest decisions our family has ever had to make. I held her in my arms all the way to the vets office and did not let her go until the vet told me that it was time. I will never forget the look of thanks and relief in my precious pup's eyes as she took her last breath. Up until then, I was not sure if we were doing the right thing but after she looked into my eyes I could tell that she was happy to be going home.
Letting her go was the hardest thing I ever had to do but I know it was for the best. I am still greiving for her but I take confort in knowing that one day we will be together once again.
RIP Precious Diamond

Comment by Rose on July 16, 2008 at 8:42am - /alicia, I had a furrygirl Tammi,a maltese that would have been 12 on June 7, that went to the Rainbow Bridge June 3 of this year, with me and Daddy holding her telling her how much we loved her and to go to the Bridge, that her best friend Jezzabelle, a 9 yr. old yorkie, would be waiting for her and show her around. It was the hardest thing in the world I had ever done, but they both had heart disease and had declined to the point it wasn't fair to them, to watch them daily struggling to breath or even walk. so with the heaviest of hearts we sent them on ahead to wait for us at the bridge. I said it was almost the hardest thing in the world to do, but really the hardest thing was on June 1, 2008, my 35 yr. old son was killed in a motorcycle accident. My heart was grieving for him and then to have to let Tammi go at the same time was almost unbearable. They say time heals all wounds, but I don't think I can ever heal from these ones, so I do know how your broken heart feels. Take care...Rose
