A Tribute to Titan
July-97 - August-09
When we first got our dalmatians they were only 3 or 4 months old. If one went for a walk,
the other was right there beside him. You couldn't tear them apart.
Their names were Titan and Harley.
Both were very loving.
One day the meter reader came to read our meter and left the back gate open. When we got home from work we
let them out just like always checking on them every few minutes. When we went to let
them in we noticed they were gone! We searched and put up flyers all over but we only
got Titan back. I'm sure God has a reason for us only getting back Titan. We just
prayed Harley had a good home. This is where our story begins with Titan.
We moved from Tampa to Wesley Chapel Florida, where we live now. Titan was only
about three years old when we moved there. He was always there for me and the wife waiting
for one of us to get home. He loved us no matter what was going on.
It was like he was saying, don't worry mommy and daddy, I am here for you.
We would come home from work and there he would be with his
face in the window waiting for us. If my wife went right, so did Titan. It
didn't make a difference where she was, Titan was there by her side. Titan
was our life, we have no children, so he was our son and our love and he thought he was human.
Titan started having hip problems so we took him to our vet, and we found out
he his kidneys were failing. We also had to put him on a diet cause he
was 20 lbs over weight. Well we got him to lose that 20 lbs., but he
started losing even more weight. We took him back to Dr Farr and found he
was down to 64 lbs. Dr Farr recommended to put him down but
that wasn't the answer we were looking for.
Titan knew however, it was time to cross over into rainbow heaven, so we had
a mobile vet come out to our house. When titan died that Tuesday morning,
a part of me and my wife died also. When I buried him in that hole it was
the hardest thing I had ever done. It was like losing a child. As we held
Titan for one last time, he looked at my wife as to say, thank you mommy for the fun
time we had, but don't worry i'll be waiting for you and daddy in rainbow heaven
so we can play together again.
We will always love you Titan, and keep you in our hearts.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
