Dear Kato
I only had you for one year and I love you with all my heart and soul. When you came into my life I did not know how much you would come to mean to me. My family loves you too and we will always treasure what you gave to us. Kato you were special and kind and full of love. The joy you gave me there are just no words for how much love you gave me. I tried so hard to make your life happy and I hope and pray that you were happy.
Bob Stoll and his wife Heidi tried so much to give you a normal life but your breeders did a terrible job at giving you a body with bones that could not withhold your size. We tried to give you a pain free life and you were so patient with each surgery. You were such fun and so wonderful with my kids and my own dogs even though you were also MY DOG and I am going to miss you tremendously. You gave me so much and I want to thank you for
being part of my family.
I will always remember you and how silly you could be. I remember the times you would disappear and we would find you in the bathroom garbage eating it-no matter what was there. Or you would find a dirty bib eat it whole then we would find it outside days later. You were so funny and full of life. You were so young at heart and all together except you back legs that couldnÆt support you. I hope you had a good 8 years and that I got at least 1 of it with you.
Kato you were so patient with my kids and I donÆt think I will ever find another dog like you. You were my special Kato and I hope you are happy in your new home. Go find Otter he is a little 14 week old malamute with no tail who we lost 9 years ago this month also. You two will love each other and now I know Otter has a special friend too. Both of you together make me think of good things and
the love you both gave me.
I miss you so much but you are pain free now. I love you Kato and you gave so much to this family and I hope you know how much you were loved. I know your human dad will miss you too and I am sorry we could not go visit him at the Life Care before I lost you.
I love you Kato someday we will meet again. I hope your spirit comes to visit me someday. I have an ache in my heart that just isnÆt going away. Please forgive me for not being able to fix you. Go play and be free without pain and I will see you later.
Love
Your earth Mom
