My Sweet Chica

Chica was just like my Dad always said, "she's human." I feel so bad because I think I could have prevented her death. After building a six foot fence, she would continue to jump over it and go about her business.

I didn't feel comfortable her leaving so I would be upset with her. She wanted to be free, I think sometimes I should have let her go loose.

I had her for about six years. My advice to others, think of being with your pet as the last time you will see them. I didn't think I would ever lose Chica. God had better plans for her and she's now resting. Chica is gone but will always be in my heart.
