This has been a very sad week for our family. On Monday we had to let our sweet Hexi girl go. We found out VERY suddenly (on Monday) that she had advanced cancer and didn't have long to live. We decided to let her go peacefully and not watch her rapidly decline before our eyes. Here is a little tribute I wrote for my Hexi girl. I want to write something longer and more detailed but it's just too hard right now.
My sweet Hexi girl....I remember seeing you for the first time as a little black ball of fur sitting so quietly under a piano bench while your brothers raced around the living room like crazies. "Oh" I thought "What a nice, calm, quiet pup". Yeah the joke was on us. I didn't know anything about picking out a puppy when we found you, but I know now that we were meant to be together. I took you EVERYWHERE with me when you were a pup, including the vet clinic that I worked at in Utah. You were my constant shadow and always game for anything I had in mind.
We dubbed you Hell on Wheels Hexi because you rarely stopped moving and your boundless energy was shocking sometimes. Your free spirit and zest for life will always inspire me to appreciate every day.
You were wary of strangers from day one but once you made friends with someone you were completely devoted to them. I was concerned about your reaction to Jackson when he was born, since you were not fond of most children, but from the minute we brought him home you became his second Mom and doted over him almost as much as I did. We used to joke that Jackson could play anywhere as long as Hexi was there because she would have ate anyone that came too close.
You were with us for our 5 moves to 4 different states in 6 years and you always adjusted so easily. Always ready for the next adventure. You loved to wear the costumes I made for you and I will cherish the video I have of you in your frog dog costume when we were on the local news in Ohio.
I learned SO much about being a good pet Mom from you and I will never forget those important lessons. I feel so lucky to have had you for the time that I did although no amount of time would have ever been enough. It is such a shock to have lost you with such little warning, but I know I could not have dealt with watching you slowly decline either. Thank you so much for everything sweet girl. You will always be close to my heart. Rest well Hexi Wexi
