My beautiful sweet girl, you took a piece of my heart with you..
The story of my beautiful girl Odaa
Ch Sallysvalley Two Hearts. Mother of 2 amazing litters of 13 puppies. Successor in the heart dog category after Bruce.
Odaa was born while Bruce was very very sick. It was very quickly apparent that little purple girl would be keeper puppy. Born out of my Joy and Pacifique. She was by my side when Bruce took his last breath in my arms and she kept an eye on me ever since. Those eyes always followed me, whatever I did. She looked. If I wasn’t there she took over being bossy. Odaa was always up to anything. Loved going out with me. Loved just being with me.
There was one thing she hated though and that was the show ring. It started very early on. I brought her out as a puppy as she deserved the recognition as she was a beautiful girl. At the second show she started to get shaky and acted scared. I took her to several shows just to be there and relax. That didn’t work. People thought she wasn’t socialized but yet she was. She liked to go anywhere except shows.
Normally I would then stop but Odaa was so special to me. Caroline saw in her the great dog she was. She wanted to work with her and get her Championship. During COVID Kelly took her on runs which she enjoyed very much. And when the shows started up again we took her to shows every now and then to try to get that Ch. which that she did. Caroline worked with her endlessly and their hard work paid off. Odaa became a Ch. Several BoB but here we stopped. She had come a long way and overcame her show scene demons all thanks to Caroline. Did I already say she was a great dog? When she had her puppies she truly was the ultimate mom. Did everything with me. I fed half,she fed half and she kept doing this till the day the pups left. She would puke up her meals for them when her milk died up and she thought I didn’t feed them enough. I tried to keep her out. Bought higher Xpen panels and she still managed to jump in with them. Playing with them and giving them comfort till the moment they left. She was always by my side, comforting, watching over me. If I was down, Odaa brought me back up. She was good at that. Could sit for hours with her head on my knee. Just sitting there looking up at me with those ever following eyes.
When she came with us on the bed she had this habit of laying straight on me and wouldn’t move, @just laying there on my chest and stomach. Lol. She was my girl. My beautiful Odaa. Two hearts. A Bruce Springsteen song. Named after her grandpa. My Brucie.
And then after her last heat she all of a sudden got sick. We found this lump in her heart. Hemangiosarcoma. But the symptoms were no where near that. The last few weeks was a true roller coaster of emotions. Every night she seems better than that morning but every morning was a little worse than the morning before. In the 5 weeks she was sick she lost a lot weight. A normally 96 lb Berner now weighing 82lbs. She ate lots. She ate for two dogs sometimes even more but the cancer just ate her. The last week it became apparent that the HSA was stemming from her brain. The morning of her last day she was in immense pain. More CBD oil made it a little more bearable as her meds didn’t seem to touch it anymore. The ride to the vet was one full of treats. Full of telling her what an amazing girl she is. How much I love her and how much I will miss her. I told her to raise some hell and tell who ever is in charge there that she is way to young. Way to young!!!! That this is unfair. Anyway, We ran out of treats right when we passed McD so she got a cheeseburger and . Enjoying it thoroughly she didn’t stop eating at the vet. More treats. She left this world in true Odaa fashion. Looking at me. God only knows how much I miss this dog. How much her life impacted mine. I will never ever forget her. My Odaa, my beautiful girl. Two hearts will beat as one.
Thank you everyone for all your comments on her passing. It really helps me with this whole shitty process.
This is a truly heartbreaking breed and I am not sure if I have the wherewithal to keep breeding. Ger and I try so hard to keep them healthy. We go above and beyond. Our whole life has always been geared towards keeping them as healthy as possible. And whatever we do it is just not good enough. We are going the whole 9 yards as natural as possible and beyond but here we are.
It’s too devastating. Time will tell.
In the meantime I will hold the memories of her and those who went before her in my heart. Forever. With love.
