One fall my wife and I decided we wanted to go to Florida and judge whether we wanted to live there or not. It was the year 2000. I found a job at a hotel in Palm Beach. They hired me as there Night Mgr/M’aitre D. It involved working nights and my wife grew lonely and decided she needed a pet who had four legs (thank Goodness).I woke up one morning to a barking dog. That did not sound like Cydne (my wife).

She(Cyd) had adopted Dalmatian/springer mix, but she had all the appearance of a springer. At first she didn’t seem to like me and found that to be true of all males.When I investigated further Gabrielle (that was her name now) fended for herself on the streets in Florida for over a 1 1/2 years. Somebody must have thrown something at her like a rock or stick and broke one of her ankles. She must have looked for food in those trash barrels to survive and knocked a few of them over. That angered the trash men and I assume that is how she got the injury.

After six months which brought us to April of 2001 we went back to Maine. Of course Gabby went with us. Gabby was Cyd’s constant companion. She was like her shadow no matter where she went. We understood Palm Beach and realized it was not for us. Christmas without snow was not what we were used too. Also, we were happy we brought Gabby with us and had nine fantastic years with her.

It was a long time before she took to me, but I controlled the food and she was no dummy. I became her second best friend. Cyd was always first no matter how hungry she became.

Unconditional love is the mantra of pets. They don’t know any other way and in that respect Gabrielle was no different. What a fantastic attitude and we should all adopt it. There would be no hunger, no wars, no homeless, etc. Although I believe most pet owners spoil them.

In July of this year Gabby developed a cough and we took her to the vet and they didn’t know what it was. She developed hind leg problems too. However, I was a distributor for a Network Marketing company and they had a supplement for animals that help increase your own stem cells up to 30%. This helped her hind leg problem tremendously and the cough subsided.

The cough became impossible this November and we surmised she had a form of cancer. This made it very hard for us to make a decision and we probably procrastinated. Thinking of ourselves and waited too long. We couldn’t stand the idea of losing her.

She is at peace now. Gabrielle is gone. She used to dream quite often and they say if you dream you have a soul. Believing in reincarnation I hope she comes back as a teacher and show people how to “Love Unconditionally.” Everything would be so easy to do with love. Be of service to your fellow man.

I am deeply saddened with sorrow over my loss. This morning I had nobody to walk or help me eat my breakfast. I was on my own. Let us give unconditional love and get our purpose in life to helping other people in our Network Marketing business. Are you ready?
