Zack,
Mommy misses you so very much. I know you are at peace now and out of pain but the house is so empty without you. Dutchess, Scruff and Mommy Cat are so lonesome. They don’t seem to understand where you are.
I wish I could hold and cuddle you one more time. You were and stil are my baby, my “Pooh-Bear.” We never trained you, but you trained us. You was the BOSS and you let everyone know it. You had a mind of your own and if you didn’t want to do something you totally refused to do it. You were such a good little traveler when we went to Mama Mary’s house and even after you got sick you still loved to go.
You always ate people food from the time we brought you home and loved chocolate even though we were not supposed to give it to you.
The decision we made was so difficult, but I knew it was time to say good-bye when Daddy offered you chocolate and you did not take it. I knew then that you were ready to go and that your little body had finally tired out.
You was so brave, you never flinched or whimpered when the vet gave you the shot. It was as if you were saying “It’s alright Mom and Dad, I lived a good long life and now it’s time to go. I was loved more than anyone could ever know.
I won’t be alone. I’ll be with Duke, Possum, Prissy, Big Cat, Charlie and Roxie. I’ll have to show Duke, Possum, and Charlie whose boss all over again. I’ll be able to walk and run. My legs won’t hurt and I won’t have to take any more pills. I’ll be able to see and hear everything again.”
Daddy and I will always love you.
You will always be in our hearts and memories.
Love forever,
| Zachary |
