Rikki
Today I said “I’ll see you at Rainbow Bridge “ to another of my Roses Rescue dogs. Today cancer won the fight against Rikki. My sweet girl I adopted when she was 9 months old. I was the foster mom to that litter of pups in 2012. Rikki originally found a home soon after I started fostering the litter. I stayed in touch with the family who adopted her and after a severl months something seemed wrong. I asked Rose to do a welfare check and she did. She found Rikki spending most of her time in a crate and sitting in pee. I remember Rose calling me and saying she took Rikki back whose name at the time was Harlem. She asked if I’d foster her again. I never hesitated saying yes. Rikki came back to me and I worked hard fixing the medical issues Rikki had and training my girl to be the awesome pup I knew she could be. I fell in love with her and officially adopted her and renamed her back to Rikki. Last year Rikki was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and cancerous tumor on her foot which was inoperable. So for 11 3/4 months together Rikki and I battled her cancer. Today she had a vet appointment since her foot cancer had gotten worse. It was eating her foot. We found 3 more tumors growing on her sternum and had begun to spread to her lungs. Another tumor was beginning to grow on her other rear paw. Rikki’s quality of life was gone. The vet felt at this point the kindest thing to do was let Rikki run ahead around the bend at Rainbow Bridge. Although my heart is broken my girl is no longer fighting cancer. I will see her again someday in Gods perfect time at Rainbow Bridge. God speed Rikki, momma loves you forever and always my pretty girl. 11/4/2012 to 7/27/2022
