Frankie - my puppa


What a busy week, full of emotion, but one emotion I have yet to share. After all, it was Miss California week and all about my 4 young women who had worked so hard for their moment. But now that the week is over, I need to share with all of you, that Arthur and I had to leave Fresno on Friday afternoon and had to put our beloved Frank down before we had to return for pageant night! 

Frankie, I wish I could hold you in my arms again and kiss your beautiful sweet face. You were our dear sweet "puppa", our heart and soul, and I feel like my heart's been ripped out.

Maggie May too grieves for you, Frank. She has no spark and is still running around looking everywhere for you. She is laying in your spot and waiting. We have to coax her inside as she waits for you to come home.

I miss so many things as my mind goes thru our years together. I laugh, I cry and then I laugh and I cry! Most of all I miss your presence, you being here, by my side wherever I am. It feels lonely without you. You loved us thru some difficult times pup. You always knew when I wasn't feeling well. The hours you laid next to me often crept into days as I was going thru chemo and battling cancer.....I could give a list of your devotion that would go on for days. Remember, we used to say Franks my cancer buddy!

You really were special, one in a million. I wanted to keep you for ever and take away your pain. I never thought "we" would have to make this decision. It was so hard, sweet boy, but your last loving look told us you loved us and we were doing the right thing. Your last look said thank you for caring more about you than about ourselves and I will be forever grateful that you had the strength to let us know "it was your time and you were ready to go."

Thank you to my girls - Desiraee Danielle Olvera-Smith, Jazzelle Verduzco, Rochelle Dowling, Susan Benitez, and Anne Baker who housesat for us over the years and took care of our friend. I know you loved him, as he loved you! Frankie was everyone's friend and he was loved from Rhode Island to California!

Franklin Rudolph Amaral, born August 19, 1999 and died in our arms June 27, 2014. Laying in my lap, We held you close in our arms as you drifted into heaven and we felt your pain melt away. God bless you our sweet pup, you will forever be close in our hearts until we meet again.......
