In the fall of 2000 my wife and I went to Florida to see if we wanted to live there. While I was there I started working as a Night Mgr./M’aitre D at a hotel in Palm Beach. I worked nights so my wife was lonely and decided she needed a pet. She did this without my knowing. You can imagine my surprise waking up one morning and hearing barking. I said to myself that doesn’t sound like Cydne (my wife).

Cyd had adopted a springer/dalmatian mix although she looked like a springer. She didn’t take to me at all and I sensed that she didn’t like males. Upon further discussion I found out that Gabrielle (that’s what she named her) was on the streets for a year and half by herself. During that time somebody threw something at her maybe a rock or stick and broke one of her ankles. I imagine she knocked over a few trash cans in her day looking for food and probably angered one of the trash men. Hence the injury.

After six months which brought us to April of 2001 we went back to Maine. Of course Gabby went with us. Gabby was Cyd’s constant companion. She was like her shadow no matter where she went. We understood Palm Beach and realized it was not for us. Christmas without snow was not what we were used too. Also, we were happy we brought Gabby with us and had nine fantastic years with her.

Even though I controlled the food it took Gabby a long time to take to me. No matter how famished she became Cydne was always her best friend. I came in a bad second.

Gabby gave her love unconditionally and I find that pets are pretty much the same in that respect. Wouldn’t it be great if we all started loving unconditionally? What a world it would be. no homeless, no hunger, no wars, etc. I also believe pet owners spoil there pets rotten.

In July of this year Gabby developed a cough and we took her to the vet and they didn’t know what it was. She developed hind leg problems too. However, I was a distributor for a Network Marketing company and they had a supplement for animals that help increase your own stem cells up to 30%. This helped her hind leg problem tremendously and the cough subsided.

In early November the cough became unbearable for Gabby. We thought she might have cancer and we had a decision to make. This was a very tough decision for us and we waited too long only thinking of ourselves. I guess we couldn’t bear the idea of putting her to sleep.

She is at peace now. Gabrielle is gone. She used to dream quite often and they say if you dream you have a soul. Believing in reincarnation I hope she comes back as a teacher and show people how to “Love Unconditionally.” Everything would be so easy to do with love. Be of service to your fellow man.

My loss for Gabby cannot be described. I had nobody to walk me this morning or to help me eat my breakfast. Left to my own I didn’t do very well. Can we all make a decision to give unconditional love a chance and help other people? Network Marketing is a good vehicle to do just that. Are you ready?

To your committed success,
