Dear Kiya,

As hard as this is for us, we love you so much and hate to see you still in so much pain. You used to run and snuggle with us, give us kisses and greet us at the door. This isn’t fair for such a wonderful, loving, sweet dog. Although you’re just 4 years old, you have touched all of our hearts. We love you and our hearts are breaking to have to let you go to your “Rainbow Bridge”. When you get there, you’ll no longer be in pain. You can run in the grass without it making you itch. You are such the perfect dog and I just can’t
image life without you.

If there was something that would fix all the problems that you have and make your life wonderful like it was, we would. Please forgive us and know we tried everything thing that we could. Maybe your time here was short to show us how a simple animal can change some ones life and how one person can love some thing so much. We love you with all our hearts and it’s breaking ours to have to do this to you.

Please forgive us for having to do this to you, but know that we only want the best for you and just hate seeing you in such pain. Your eyes told us what to do, as when we looked at you, you were just so sad.

We loved it when you used to sleep with us at night or cuddle on the sofa, and how you loved having your belly rubbed. We’ll never forget how you used to ‘wave’ at us when we would come home. Daddy loves you soooo much and tried to do everything for his baby girl.

Cameron loves you soooo much too. He loved giving you hugs and having you sleep with him. I just wish that Logan would have been able to know you like Cameron does. I’m sure he would love you just as much. He’s just now smiling at you when he sees you. I’m so sorry to take
that away from you.

We wished you and Kobi could have been better friends, he truly does love you too. We think that you were just too sick and didn’t want to be bothered by him. We’re sorry that you and him didn’t get along better.

It’s just so unfair for you to feel like you do, and I wish that we didn’t have to put you at rest. But then that wouldn’t be fair to you to live such an unhappy life. I wish the time with you were longer.

I sit here with tears in my eyes and my heart breaking into pieces, as this is so hard for us and hope you forgive us for doing this to you. Visit us in our dreams any time you want, because I’ll be waiting to see you in them. You may not be physically by our sides, but you’ll be forever in our hearts.

We love you baby girl and are going to miss you tremendously. I’m just so sorry, my little KyKy. I loved you before, I love you now, and will love you always.

Bye bye baby girl, we will Love you always-
Mommy, Daddy, Cameron, Logan and Kobi

To Our Baby Girl, Kiya~
The angels looked upon you, and they loved you so,
I believe that is why you had to go.
In the arms of an angel, now you lay,
And you’ll have a new home, in those heavenly lands,
And the angles will caress you with their gentle hands
When I look up, to the far away ski.
When I’m thinking of you, trying not to cry.
When I reach for you, and you’re not there,
Or when I miss the feel of your velvet hair.
When I dream at night, that I hear your bark,
But awake alone in the cold and dark.
When I choke up, and my feelings, I’m trying to hide.
When I miss you so much, that I hurt inside.
Then I remember, that the angels took you from me.
And held lovingly in their arms, is where you’ll be.
I’ll remember you’re happy and feeling no pain,
And you’re awaiting the moment you’ll see me again.
I’ll try to be happy, stop feeling so blue.
For I know you’re safe,
The angels love you.

 

See you one day at the Rainbow Bridge Baby Girl.
WE LOVE YOU MUCH!
Kiya
