[Dailydrool] Thanks to all who remembered Xaxa and now....Violeta's dilema

[Virginia Oliveira]

Hi my friends

I'm writing just a small note to thank all of you who wrote us beautiful words about the passing of my sweet old man, my eternal boy, Xaxa da Basset Colaco.
It means a lot each and every mail, to know that even though we are far and have never met in person, we are in each other's hearts.
I am answering, slowly, each mail and card separately, because every time the tears come, as I remember my baby. But then I remember what a strong boy he was, to be able to live 14 years and 9 months and 98% of them with good health, huge appetite, strong bark and a way of conquering every one who met him. He loved everyone and every living (and not living, like the fence to our neighbor) being.
Now my mission is to care for Violeta. The ex-husband works the whole day and when dating, some nights he is out too. Now without Xaxa,  Violeta, my baby girl, who hates to be alone is every weekdays alone, blind, by herself in that house.
When I adopted her as a baby I promised her she would have a great life. Dadperson heart is broken too to see her in this situation so I will try to buy a small apartment where dogs are accepted. Dadperson even offered to give a part of the down payment.
 The problem is the @&%$* student loan debt I have with the government.(PLEASE, I'M NOT ASKING FOR MONEY AT ALL, THAT'S NOT THE POINT). I am praying that my father, who knows, realizing about Violeta's loneliness and blindness, will help lending me part with the down payment too, in this way who knows the 30 thousand student loan won't matter much and I get a mortgage for a small apartment. 

I'm saying the amount because if there is a bank person or mortgage specialist in the drool, you can give me some hints because I don't know anything about it. I hope to be able to change from part time to full time at work . I've been 5 years in the company so it might not be that difficult.
But if worse comes to worse I will rent an apartment of Calgary Housing (subsidize living) where they accept dogs and then my baby and I will live together again. This is the important: we both won't be alone anymore. I will teach her some of the hints of the "blind dog" book, with the power chair that is as heavy as a truck, we will be able to go for walks in the summer...I see a bad thing bringing a good one for both of us. Maybe that's Xaxa-Angel already helping his sister and momma (and dadperson who is sad for Violeta's solitude) . Now he wags his wings helicopter-style and help his family down here.
Well, for a little note it became quite a long mail.
Again, thanks you all for being with us on such a difficult time. You are my big North-American family and I love you all, my Drool-Family.
I will write Xaxa's eulogy later.
Love and healing Sardine-Drool to all who need,
Virginia, Violeta, Dadperson and Xaxa-Angel ATB
(wagging his wings helicopter style to all his friends here on earth)
