Pebbles's Love Story
Pebbles is our baby. She’s such a huge part of us. I can’t imagine life without her! I don’t know what our daughter would do if she lost her only friend! Thanks to your supporters we won’t have to go through the heartbreak of not being able to afford properly diagnosing and treating her. Pebbles is strong. Given this opportunity, she’ll do everything she can to stay with us. Thank you for rescuing us from being haunted by “what-ifs”. Thank you for giving Pebbles, and our family, a chance.
In Pebbles's Words...
I have lots of jobs in my family, most important among them is to go from room to room at bedtime each night, cuddling each of my people to sleep. Then I stay the night with my human sister who needs me the most. I’ve heard my Mom say she has “special needs”. She’s special and she needs me—I’m her best and only friend—so I guess that term is right.
Anyway, I’m Pebbles. I got my name cuz my Mom loves the beach and she said I was tiny & had the color of a sand pebble. Plus my older sister was a German Shephard named Sandy so my name was perfect to fit with hers! AND, she said being with me is even better than being at the beach!
I’m 12 years old. I talk a lot, but my family doesn’t seem to mind. I have a whole wardrobe because when I take my family out anywhere, I like to look my best. I know my family really needs me. How do I know? Well, I don’t just talk, I listen too. My Dad just had a pacemaker put in and I heard Mom say he has a “high-risk heart condition”. My sister is just getting over COVID. It was hard for her to understand why she was having trouble breathing and her heart felt funny. AND why we could only look at each other through a window! Mom said she could tell our being separated was driving us both crazy. She got that right!
So, there’s been much stress around here! I don’t mean to, but now I’m adding to it. I’ve got this lump on my chest. It feels funny. It keeps getting bigger. Mom keeps saying “she’s my baby. I can’t lose her too”. I know she’s remembering Sandy—our Shepherd who died last year of a lump in the same place on her body.
But I’m not leaving! When I was born, I died for a little while before they brought me back. I know I’m here for a reason. I’m here to take care of every person in my family—to ease their stress and remind them EVERY day that they are loved.
I’m just glad that another dog I’ve never even met before named Ellie is organizing folks who care about me and my family so my Mom can quit crying and feeling helpless about not having the money to pay for the surgery to get my lump off and to have it tested for bad things. I want to give each of those people a cuddle and a wet kiss!
