God sent an angel

This was my dog. Her name was Nanook. The morning we took this walk the sun was shining around her like it came from Heaven. The picture showed up on my FaceBook page memories. I've posted a lot of photos of her before and even after she crossed the rainbow bridge. I know she wasn't a person but I miss her sweet kind soul. She came to me at a time where there were some personal struggles in my life so I think she must have been a gift from Heaven. My son (second oldest) was moving and could not have a dog at the time. We said we would watch her but it turned into months and I being a homemaker and able to spend lots of time with her grew very attached. She was 4 when we got her. My son said I could keep her and she was what I call a real keeper. She was gentle and kid friendly. She loved children! She was a very mellow dog , peaceful content and I loved her. I talked to her, When I cried and sat on the floor she put her head on my lap. She followed me like my shadow. She would wait when I was getting ready for the day. We took long walks all 4 seasons . She loved Fall and Winter best and I loved Winter more because I had her happily walking along, so gentle on her leash her tail curled high and her striking black and white against the snow. When she was 11 she got sick. We did all we could, the vet did all he could. She had surgery for a cancer but she started to slow down, get dizzy and fall. I loved her so , I wanted her with me but it was time. She was in pain and stopped eating and drinking. I never wrote all this before. I am on a Husky Page on FB and I still haven't shared that she passed away. I guess I should. She won picture of the day sometimes. She was beautiful to me with one brown eye and one eye that was part blue and part brown. Her memories are with me and though I am still sad that she is gone I smile at the memories. She was a part of my life for so long. She was family and she had her way of talking to me without a single word. She accepted me as I am as well. Sometimes I notice that people can be uncomfortable around quiet people which I tend to be in person but maybe it is my imagination. As for Nanook and me I think we actually complimented each other. I treated her the best I could and I was loved in return. She was never , ever "Just a Dog" she was an angel with fur. I know that sounds silly but God knew what I neededed at the time. God always knows what we need.
