Chapo Calamity
Chapo came into my life unexpectedly when her original owner was not able to care for her anymore. She was such a blessing after I had experienced a loss of an unborn child, she comforted me and helped me through my healing journey..I then got pregnant again with my daughter and Chapo was there throughout my whole pregnancy, during my labor, after I gave birth. I always remember when I was in labor she layed by me as I cried in pain, she welcomed my daughter when I brought her home with sniffs and cuddles, she protected her, followed her, and adored her. My daughter’s first word was Chapo. Chapo was loved so much by my daughter and I, it was so hard making the decision to have her humanely euthanized after she was diagnosed with a mammary gland tumor on her lower breast area. The tumor had grown rapidly within a 4 month period, her surgery was determined a high risk surgery due to her age…so before she could experience anymore complications due to her diagnosis I decided to let her go in peace. I’m still so sad about her passing, I think about all the other possibilities and what if’s…could I have done more, could a high risk surgery have been effective, but deep down I know I did not want her to feel the pain that she would have felt from open wounds, healing wounds, immobility, and worry.
We love you Chapo, you’ll always be our #1 girl. We will miss you and we will never forget you. You were the best dog. Beautiful, energetic, fast on your feet, a snuggle bug that kept us warm, a good listener, and a blessing that we will hold dear to our heart.
