and the rest of ou

To our dear sweet little girl,
For nine years you gave us so many happy memories, memories that we’ll always hold dear to us. You are the best dog we’ve ever had, and we just want to say thank you for everything you’ve given us. You were our guardian, our protector, our best friend, our confidant, and most of all, you were our family member, and we will always cherish the time you spent with us.
We’ll miss playing “Where’s my bone?!” with you, asking you to shake our hands, or even ask you to speak. We’ll miss those great big beautiful eyes, and that lovingly snobbish attitude you would sometimes give us.
Our house may still have Cutie and Kona around, but without you, it still feels a bit empty, as it does in our hearts.
So take great care sweetheart, and rest well. Have fun and be safe at Rainbow Bridge, playing with all your new friends. Be sure to say hello to our friend Ace while you’re there, and all the other dogs that have graced our families doors. Be good while you’re there without us, don’t chase the cats like you use to or get mad at brown dogs – God doesn’t like a naughty dog.

And until that day when we meet again, you will always hold a dear and special place in our hearts. Perhaps we’ll be able to visit you sometime in our dreams, and pet and play with you again, but until we truly get to Rainbow Bridge, know that we love you very much, and can’t wait to see you again 🙂 Thank you Nike, from all of us here, missing you 🙂

 

With all our love, thanks and adoration,
Nike
