Thisbe Sue
Thisbe Sue saves her human!
(By Kendra Moore) Thisbe came into my life almost 7 years ago after my sister and brother-in-law saw her eating out of a trashcan at just a few weeks old in Miami, Florida. They couldn’t ignore such a sweet little thing and stopped to pick her up. Thisbe had lots of tapeworms, so many ticks that she was anemic, and full belly bloat from hunger among other things. They got her all fixed up and when I saw her I knew she was the dog for me. I had been wanting a dog for the longest time, but with a very hectic work schedule, it was never the right time. But Thisbe knew it was the right time and she came to live with. Work was my life, and Thisbe gave me a reason to come home, to do something other than work, to have a life. No matter how tough work was that day, when I came home to see that sweet face and wagging tail, I couldn’t help but smile! Now we live in Ohio, and she has three doting grandparents and a cousin named Cool- Jay. When her mast-cell tumor showed up in October 2015 we were devastated. She has had a rough time since then ―weekly visits to the vet, many different chemotherapies, and two surgeries including a right forepaw amputation. The amazing thing about Thisbe― besides teaching her human how to live again― is that she doesn’t let cancer stop her from doing her thing. She swims in the pool almost daily in the summer, rides around like the princess she is in the golf cart, and goes with me everywhere. She is the best dog anyone could ask for! I am grateful and blessed for every day I get to spend with her.
(Postscript) It is with a very heavy heart that I wanted to let you all know that Thisbe, my beloved sweet girl, passed away on Friday, Nov. 25. I cherish and am grateful for the year that I had with her. I wanted to let you. Thank-you for helping her live on forever in the calendar.
Thanks,
Kendra Moore
