To my little love...I still cannot believe it...

Myrto came to our lives in April 1994. We found her on the streets... She was a puppy... And since then she became our first child, our friend, our love.

Our daughter was born a year later and she grew up with Myrto... every single day.

In December 2007 she became very weak and the vet did an ultrasound and said she had haemangiosarcoma of the spleen. She was operated on and recovered soon after. A few days before Christmas a very happy vet rang to tell us that the tumor was benign. You can imagine the joy of all... But on January 6th she had another internal bleeding attack and she started deteriorating.

She died in my arms on Monday, January 28th, 2008, at 1:20am. This moment still haunts me almost every single day. I just cannot forget it. I miss her so much. She loved me and I loved her and she knew it. She was my little girl. My wife feels the same way. Today it is one year after her loss. I just wanted to share that with other people who happen to understand our feelings. Thank you.
