MARINA

On July 17, 2007 we found a beautiful and sweet dog and we named her Marina, we loved having her a part of the family and she fit in so well. She was a great playmate for Bianca and even the boys. She would ride in the jeep with them, chase them in the trampoline and would just love on everyone.

Well, sad to say, she got out of the yard on Tuesday morning and I just got a call this afternoon letting me know that there was a dog that looked like her on the side of the road in front of my neighborhood.

A friend of mine went to confirm that it was our Marina and it was.

I have been crying all afternoon, Elkin and Esai do not know yet, Erico seems to be okay with it. He asked if they could see her, but I told him no, it is better to remember her playing around and happy instead of how she is now.

Here is a poem that I wrote to try to relieve the sadness:


On April 17 2007 was a very special day
we found you running around
like a little stray
We brought you home, you saw the boys
and all you did was play!

You would ride in the Jeep
with your favorite driver
and would run around, make us play
until we were all tired.

We had you in our lives
for a little over a year
You were such an awesome pet
now I can't believe that you are not here.

You will always be remembered
and always in our hearts
Even with the boys
they loved you from the very start.

Goodbye Marina...........
