My beautiful baby girl was 1/2 Chow and 1/2 Rottweiler. A beautiful , loving, sweet soul. I was overjoyed the day I found her. It was like she was destined to be mine.

ery but had to be euthanized the next morning because she was again hemoraging and they refused to take her back into the OR to repair the damage. I lost my baby on Feb. 4th 2006. My heart was crushed and I didn´t think I would survive her loss. I still grieve deeply today. No fur child can be replaced just like any human child but I found a baby to help me through the devastation of Cheyenne´s loss. Her story is on here also. he name is Cadence Joy. Another heart crushing loss to say the least. I love my girls and hope someday to be reunited with them at the Rainbow Bridge. Favorite Activity: Playing with the cat and giving her Mommy tons of kisses Favorite Toy: A long armed and long legged monkey which burned up in our house fire that also consumed my baby´s ashes. I lost her twice. Nickname(s): Cheyennie, Cheyenne
