My Beautiful Jana

I bought Jana six years ago. A beautiful Cavalier King Charles. But I bought her at a store and very young she started developing a lot of diseases: glaucoma, long palate, patella... and finally her heart.

I fell in love with Jana since the first day she came to my home: I even remembered exactly the first time I looked at her eyes and knew that she was special and that I was going to love her so much. I didn't mind to take care of her and always treat her with the best care and love.

Six months ago she went to a cardiologist to treat her for a heart murmur. It was very advanced and even her lungs were affected. But she was under treatment and I hoped that she would be with me for some years. The most horrible night of my life was six days ago. She had her mouth pale so I took her to emergencies but she couldn't make it. She arrived dead. The news really affected me more than I expected.

I really miss my Jana. She was my soulmate, and I even miss to have someone that I have to take care of and give medications. Jana will be cremated to be here with me. I hope the Rainbow Bridge exists and that I will be someday together with a healthy Jana.

Rest in peace my Jana. I will love you with all my heart and my soul forever.
