Goodbye, Little Joey

Corgi owners were always so kind in their remarks and advice for my little warrior. Joey went to the Rainbow Bridge today, June 1st. His autoimmune condition known as erthyma multiforme, consumed him. I adopted Joey 3 years ago and we have fought through bleeding paws, crusts and bleeding eye margins and the lethargy and depression that accompanies autoimmune conditions. A confirmed Sheltie owner, Joey opened my eyes to a whole new world of dog.....I've never owned a dog with a personality as clever as Joey's. I can see why Tasha Tudor kept bundles of them at her Vermont farm! I am left with a thousand thousand mental images of my little guy....his joy, his determination and his nearly human attitude. The pain is gone, Little Joey: rest well, my friend. John

With a heart as heavy and cold as a stone I'm going to start looking for another RESCUE CORGI. I truly believe Corgi ownership is addictive. The way I'll have Little Joey forever is to get out and save one of his cousins!

Comment by Cindi & Twinkie on June 2, 2011 at 8:18am: John, I hope you find comfort in knowing that his three years with you were undoubtedly the happiest of his life. You made all the difference to him just by standing by him through his difficult times. While he is the one in heaven now, you are the angel!
