Yesterday, Sunday December 28th, 2008, my Great-Aunt passed away. She was 62. My grandmother's youngest sister.
She's also the one who gave me my pomeranians to start breeding.
A month or so ago she had asked me and Steve if we would take her 'kids' as she called them if anything were to happen to her. I think she
knew something she wasn't telling the rest of us. She had a dr appt for some sort of scan this week but no one knows the dr or what it was for
or any details....
As a result I now have the rest of her 'kids'. Bringing my total of Pomeranians to 18 full blood, 2 pom-mutts, 4 heelers (1 due to whelp in 2 weeks) and a great pyranese. I feel overwhelmed but only because I don't have time to truely grieve....
These new dogs are terrified because my aunt was the only human they'd known really.... they didn't get to see her at all yesterday. She passed away around 9:30am...
My grandmother's other sister, Mona usually got a call from the one who passed (Nez) and when she didn't get her morning call she went to see what was up and got no response and called 911.... they broke in the back door and found her in the bathroom....
Sigh.... Aunt Nez seemed to be one of the healthiest out of them all.... so this came as a shock to all of us. We had had a holiday get together with all of them... all 4 sisters and both brothers were in.... So we got to see her on Saturday. She left early but we thought it was because of her dogs having a set schedule bedtime... She never said she wasn't feeling well.
I usually talk to her at least 3 times a week.... conversations were always surrounding her 'kids'.... I don't know how I'll handle not being able to talk to her about the pomeranians. I miss her already....
