TO MY LITTLE COLBY MONSTER. YOU WERE OUR BUNDLE OF JOY. YOU CAME ALL THE WAY FROM DENVER, COLORADO TO LIVE WITH US. DADDY HAD TO DRIVE TO COLBY, KANSAS TO GET YOU. WHEN HE LET YOU OUT OF THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR NEW YARD, YOU ROMPED AROUND IN THE SNOW THAT WAS DEEPER THAN YOU WERE TALL. YOU WERE THE HOPE I NEEDED TO GO ON AFTER LESHES DIED. AS YOU GREW, SO DID YOUR TEMPER. WE LOVED YOU JUST THE SAME. YOU WERE SO PROTECTIVE & SO JEALOUS OF US. WE STILL LOVED YOU SO MUCH.
THERE CAME A TIME THAT WE HAD TO GIVE YOU UP & IT ALMOST KILLED ME. FINALLY WE GOT THE CALL TO COME GET YOU & WE BROUGHT YOU BACK HOME A MONTH LATER. IT WAS AS THOUGH YOU NEVER LEFT. YOU PICKED UP RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF. RIGHT AT HOME WITH US. WE WERE SO HAPPY AGAIN. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT YOU WOULD BE WITH US FOR MANY LONG, HAPPY YEARS. MY HEART MENDED ONLY TO BE BROKEN ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY MUCH TO EARLY. I GUESS GOD DIDNT HAVE THE SAME PLANS THAT WE ALL DID.
WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU SO MUCH MONSTER. I ONLY HOPE & PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD WHY WE HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION WE DID. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LITTLE MONSTER & YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY YOU WOULD HELP MOMMA TRIM TREES. THE WAY YOU WOULD HELP DAD SHOVEL SNOW OR RAKE LEAVES. THE WAY YOU WOULD CHASE THE 4-WHEELER AROUND THE FIELD. THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD SQUEAK YOUR TOY & LOOK AT ME WITH SAD EYES WHEN I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO PLAY WITH YOU. LITTLE MONSTER IS YOUR NAME & YOU EARNED IT WELL.
WE STILL LOVE OUR COLBSTER & PRAY THAT YOU ARE RUNNING FREE AGAIN WITH ALL OF THE OTHER DOGS. I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE FOUND A LIFE LONG COMPANION & I HOPE THAT WHEN WE MEET AGAIN THAT YOU CAN FORGIVE OUR CHOICES THAT WE HAD TO MAKE. I KNOW THAT YOU FELT OUR LOVE JUST AS WE FELT YOURS. MAY THE LORD CARE FOR YOU & KEEP YOU WELL. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU SO MUCH COLBS.
WITH ALL OF OUR LOVE
