Teakhie Bear by Mindy

To my wonderful Boo Bear. How strange life can be sometimes I had my doubts about your getting better from this terrible illness but I had hope that maybe you would pull through it and stay with me a while. I didn’t realize how bad it was until you were gone and I looked back at all the pictures I have ever taken of you and in every picture you had a huge smile and a gleem in your eyes. The pictures I took of you a few weeks ago when you got sick and I thought the end might be near told me the whole story Teak there was no gleam in your eyes no smile on your face. You looked so defeated and sad and I know you were in pain. I’m sorry I couldn’t take that pain away. So you did the bravest thing you picked the day that you would go away and spared me from having to pick it for you. So like you Boo to be like that.

Of all the dogs in the house you were always the one to share and make things easier for mommy. You never gave me one momment of grief. You were the best dog in the world. I wonder if I will ever get over the fact that you’re not here your spot is empty…you’re not here when I come home….I know you know all of this and just want me to be happy and in a way I am. I am happy that your pain is gone you’re no longer suffering and you’re at peace again. I saw that when they told me you died and couldnt save you.

I went to see my Teakhie Bear because I couldn’t believe you had died. And there you were in total peace you looked so relieved and your smile was there again. I took a piece of your hair and put all of your special things in a box. Even though I can’t see you or feel you anymore I know your with us.

All of the dogs miss you. Pav is so lonely for his special play buddy. Lua Gruntly and Spikey miss you too. I Have to thank you Teak for helping me through all of my hard times my sickness and I will never forget everything you have done for me. I knew it would be hard when you left us. I hope you’re happy and warm and eating again. If you ever need me I’m always here for you. Just bark or cry in that special way you do and I will always hear it and be here for you.

I will always love you and miss you so very much but we WILL meet again someday and be a family once again.

Until then ….I love you!

Mindy
