It’s taken me a long time to tackle writing
a tribute for you,…and not for lack of your being worthy…
but because in my heart and mind, I still refuse to believe you are gone.
The words well up in my throat, you are..
were so many things to me, how can I possibly get past the emotions and come up with words that are worthy of such a magnificent boy? Your life was cut too short, but I know you are never far away, and to this day you protect me from where you are. Thank you for saving my and
Naija’s life that one night against the coyote. Thank you for teaching me to take life less seriously by always being, “in the moment”…by always being so full of joy…,
“MOMMY LOOK!” “LOOK WHAT THIS DOES!” I always saidyou never walked..you lept, you never ran..you BOUNCED…
you will forever BE “MY TIGGER”!
Perhaps now you help bring smiles to all the children in Heaven who are temporarily seperated
from their families. Bouncing was how your happy body expressed joy it couldnt contain…but perhaps now you fly with angels.
I am FOREVER grateful for the time we did have, you really DID change my life, I am grateful for the one litter you were able to Sire, I wish there had been more. Your puppies would make you proud, Im so sad that you died 3 wks. before they were born and were never able to meet them, to see the good you did. You passed on so many beautiful attributes to your puppies, and
have changed the lives of the families that have Them..
My hope is you live on IN them…because I know you live every day in MY heart. All I can say is “Thank You” for all you taught me, for putting a smile on my face EVERY single day you were part of my life. God keep you until we
are together again, because for now I know you have a special place in Heaven. Play in those fields, AND chase the butterflies, keep those babies smiling, bring joy to Gods’ eyes every day!
Mommy loves you, my Angel, one day we will be together again.....
