Kinza
Las Vegas
Labrador Rescue would also like to acknowledge a great
friend of ours, Trish and her sweet Kinza. Kinza was
another baby that was loved by more people than she even
knew and was taken from her mom before her time. Trish
has written a story of sweet Kinza and I have attached
some pictures as well. RIP, Sweet Kinza, you'll always
be with us.
I would
start the story with how I found Kinza but really I
think she found me. I lost my lab Dee to cancer about 5
years ago. 5 year is a long time to be labless so I
started searching. Initially I was looking for a young
adult lab to adopt. Every search I did Kinza would come
up in. Initially I skipped over her because she was 7
years old. Still I kept searching and Kinza kept coming
up….EVERY SINGLE TIME. I took this as a sign that I
should actually pay attention and look at Kinza. Kinza
was an owner surrender that spent a year in foster care
due to the oh too common big black dog syndrome. Her
age also played against her.
Kinza
came to my home December 10, 2004. The very next day we
went out and got our Christmas tree. She had 2 Lab
cousins she played with just about every weekend. Her
summer was filled with camping trips and swimming at one
of the local rivers. This last Christmas she learned
how to tear open packages and went nuts on Christmas.
She had to help open everybody’s packages. She had to
be wherever I was at all times. When I left for work
she would get up onto the freshly made bed and proceed
to make herself a “nest” in the pillows. Of course I
couldn’t get mad at her because she was so cute. There
was not a day that went by that she did not make me
smile.
Sadly in January 05 she had a small
seizure followed by another in February. A trip the
local University Hospital revealed a rapidly growing
brain tumor. Kinza lost her battle and crossed the
rainbow bridge March 29, 2006. There will always be a
place In my heart left empty by Kinza.
Run
free my sweet baby girl, I will always love you!!
