I just realized that this Thursday March 1st 10:33pm will be 1 months since I had to put Dakota down! Its different this time around ..... cant say harder but much different .... with mom even after two years it felt like it was just yesterday ... but with Dakota it feels like he is still here... like its not real...not real yet ... When I am in my room watching TV or a movie I find myself looking over at my door waiting for him to just come into my room and lay on my bed with me.... whenever I get home I look right over at the chair he would be sitting on in the living room, and when I dont see him its natural to just assume he would be upstaris... then when I walk upstairs I cant help but glance into the guest room on the bed to see if he is there, or even when I walk into my room I cant help but just stare at my bed at times because I just want to see him laying on my bed wagging his tail as I walk up to him to say HI ...weird I sooo know .... crazy ... ohhh lord dont get me started ... it does not feel real but it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rainbows Bridge (Dakota)
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Dakota.... I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH
He was the biggest part of my life. He has been a part of the best of times and also the worst of times. He was not only my dog he was my kid, my best friend, my companion. He never complained about anything!! He always had the best ears for listening!! When I was sad he was there, when I was mad he hung around me, when I was happy he took part in my smile, when I was sad he just had to lay his head on me to show me that he cared. He was the kid of dog who never showed he was in pain or ever show any form of sadness. He was always happy and would always find a way to turn your frown upside down. I can truly say he was my pride and joy. It didn't take much to make him happy (treats, a walk, a car ride, a new toy) he loved the simple things because he was a simple dog! His love was unconditional, his heart was pure as gold, his face was one you could not walk away from. He saw the good in everyone, he was never shy always outgoing, but most of all he was the best dog and the only thing that not only kept me going after mom passed away but also showed me it was ok to love and be loved in return.
Dakota was born in Orlando Florida on January 25, 2001. He was for sale in front of Winn-Dixie (a grocery store in Florida). I always said it was fate that lead him to me. His story is a sad one but his life was a happy one. I was in College and went to Winn Dixie for some milk when I saw a pen of puppies. All of them were going fast and all that was left were three of dakota brothers. When I saw him and I put my hands in the pen to pet him but his 3 brothers jumped all over me and Dakota walked to the other end of the pen, so I followed. He was the smallest and the only one with a white patch on his chest, you can tell he was the runt.He stayed in the corner looking at me and at that min I knew he was the one. I had been looking for a dog for a few months but never saw one that really took my breath away until I saw dakota! I fought with the man about wanting him after he told me he was sick, and shy, and he is not the one I want. I picked Dakota up (never letting him go) and told the guys this is the one I want how much is he? The guys laughed at me and said 20.00 I said here and took Dakota home ... Ohh yeah I never got the milk I went to the store for that day haha... After spending an hr with dakota I never thought a 5.3 lbs puppy would ever become the biggest part of my life. That day 3/25/2001 was the beginning of my new life! I gave Dakota that one and only chance he needed to be rescued and that was the start of my new chapter with my best friend!!
Dakota showed me 6 years of joy and unconditional love!!!!! Dakota not only showed me how to love, he showed me how to live and for that I owe him everything. I cant help but think about how much more I could have done with him if I only new our time would be so short! I am sad and nothing will ever be able to fill that void because that dog meant more than the world to me!
When I bought Dakota I came across this poem. A poem in a card that I have cherished for the past 6 years. Its one I will never forget and also one that will always and forever remind me of him.
Dakota is my friend, my partner, my defender, he is my dog.
I am his life, his love, his leader. He will be mine, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. I owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
Love, Your Owner
My mom fell in love with him, my dad found so much more happ
"Where did I go wrong
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life"

HAD TO SAY BYE TO MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER
I havent posted in a while only because this post is a hard one to write.
On January 22nd we got the news that Dakota had Cancer. The type of Cancer is called Canine Lymphoma (Lymphosarcoma). The Vet said "What Dakota has and the location of the cancer is rare and only about 1000 cases have ever been filed" OMG go fucken figure that Dakota is 1001...the options were chemo therapy or nothing. After talking it over with Bro and Dad and doing some extensive research about the cancer and also treatments we opted to try out the Chemo. What I learned from all the reasurch was that Chemo for Animals is not at tall the same at humans (no hairloss, or that much of a side effect because its a low dosage of the treatment). I know many people would not agree on what I did (I find myself looking back and thinking would I do the same thing all over again) but hey what it came down to was I have to try because if not then I would always wonder what if and ask myself if I did enough or really as much as I could do for him. The type of Cancer he had has no cure cancer and the Chemo would only extend the quality of life. Chemo Cycle- once a month vet visit blood work check, weight check, and chemo pill (by mouth) following with a daily steroid pill for 30 days till the Chemo Cycle will then be repeated.
January 25th HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAKOTA
Chemo day One 10:45AM
Dakota was a little not himself really tried and drinking lots of water. Loss of appetite for a few hours but by around 7ish when it was time for his walk he was acting himself.
Day Two
Still a little tired, urinating a lot more, and drinking lots and lots of water hahahaha you can tell me was totally my dog because I am a fish lol but no really side effects from the chemp other than that. What they told me the Steriod pills would do.
Day Three
Totally himself running jumping eatting everthing you give him and just happy happy happy
I took him on a mini road trip this day to Fort Myers. Mom Dad Bro Dakota and I would go every year so I really wanted to do this. We both had fun he ran around went into the water for a while and then just sat on the beach. It was fun just him and I !!
Day Four
All is soooooooooooo great!!
We went to the pool place and did a few things around the house
Day Five
Loving this dog more and more every day ... for the past few weeks I have been sleeping with him in the guest room haha its a routine thing now and he has been going with me everywhere. It feels like old time when I was on O-town I never went anywhere without him even out to dindin he would come and we would eat outside haha
Day Six
I THINK THE CHEMO IS WORKING... I have so much hope in this because if you think about it this dog is not your normal dog .. he is a fighter.. ok ok ok when he gets attacked he does not fight but every other time in his life he has fought for his life!! The will to live is more powerfull than just giving up and if anyone can fight this it is him!!!!
Day Seven
My hope is so high right now and I want him to re-wright those text book cases... he is doing so great and the sadness I felt has totally gone away!
Day Eight
Down Hill in a mater of hours
I left him this morning and he was doing fine.. when I got home around 12:30 he was walking slow, acting different, and really not even looking himself. I gave him a few treats took him outside and he just seemed to be werid. He was still himself coming when I called him , wagging his tail but I knew something was not right. I went upstairs to do something and when he came he put his head on my bed as if he wanted to lay next to me, then he jumped 1/2 way up (front paws on my bed, and back legs still on the floor) I told him to get up a few time but it looked like he thought he didn't have room to jump. When that happens I usually grab his collar, tug it towards me, say get up and he jumps up. This time when I did that he turned to my hand on my collar and bit me. He got me good. I did not yell nor did I do anything to stop him . I felt that he bit me because I hurt him somehow. I went downstairs and he followed me I told my bro not to touch Dakota. He got scared and we all went outside. Bro asked me what happened and told him what I did and I also said I think when I tugged him his stomach touched the bed and that hurt him .... and is only initial reaction was to bit me to stop me from tugging. I called the vet and we went in... when they examined him he was having abdominal pain so she recommended a pain shot and also pain patch. I said yes, but I knew it was time to start thinking of when I was gonna make that decision I have been dreading the past few weeks. When dad got home from work we all talked about it and I made the decision to put him down tonight. The pain management shot will only work for a day or so and the patch only three days, and I could not see Dakota suffer so I knew I had to do this. We gave Dakota cake, human food, and treats. Then we went back to the vet.
Alyssa, Julie, Bro and I were around Dakota, they gave us as long as we wanted with him... I took him outside and said my goodbye and at 10:33pm FEB 1 2007 we let him go. This was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do!
DAKOTA I LOVED YOU SOOOO MUCH AND MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!! I AM SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!
