My Tribute to an Amazing Little Dog named Levi

It was only on Wednesday that the day that I had dreaded and prayed that the Lord might push back a little longer finally came. I was absolutely heart broken and it was all I could to not cry uncontrollably. I had to hold it together for Levi and his Momma. It was miraculous how he ended up in our lives.

I thank God for the person who actually bought him at a pet shop in Mission Viejo and shortly after returned him simply because he had a little thing near his eye. My neighbor sent me an adorable pic of him back at the pet shop and he was now FREE!! Even free delivery!!!!! That did it! She brought him to me and Levi and his new loving Momma met early that evening. The date was February 17 2010. It was just meant to be. Levi was indeed a Gentleman Pup as his momma said. My two Chihuahuas absolutely adored him above all and his tenderness with them as they got old and eventually went to their reward in Heaven was something that I will never forget. I did all that I could to do the same for him as his health declined over the last few years. It was my joy to care for him any way that I could.

His little sister Maggie would light up when he came to visit or stay with me. This Blue Chihuahua was a furry little celebrity around here with all that met him. The most deeply loved member of the Little Tribe. My eyes well with tears as I think of my beloved boy who just joined my Ruth & Boaz in eternity. It still knocks the wind out of me. Papa misses him very much. This is my tribute to him to give you an idea of a little life lived to the fullest, a greatest gift to us and our gratitude for that gift. Levi has no equal. His personal little food bowl is still next to Maggie's. He is beloved indeed.
