Allie

A tribute to Allie

Published 10:15am Friday, February 24, 2012

I did not intend to write an article this week because I was weary and suffering from lack of sleep. My intention was to just send in some photos as a tribute to Allie. Then I thought of all those people who call and let me know that one of my kids has left this world. Bear with me if I ramble a bit, this tale is not just for me, it’s for all who’ve lost a beloved family member.
All of you who read my tales are well aware of Allie from the time she was rescued as a pit bull teaser. For many months now Allie has been on certain medicines to help with much of the ailments that stemmed from her brutal beginnings. Her spine was out of line and she was receiving acupuncture and B shots to help with her mobility. She had meds for her joints and pain, along with heart pills to keep her strong through her seizures, which began around six months ago. Through it all Allie remained vibrant and loving and was most definitely my girl. Anyone who knows us is more than well aware of the bond we had.
