My dear Precious,
I miss you so much. I’ll never forget the day I first saw you. It was a few days before Valentines day and my husband (your daddy) and Bryce went to go run erands. A few hours later when they came back they asked me to close my eyes because they had something to give me for Valentines day – then a few moments later you were placed in my hands. I immediately opened my eyes and saw you for the first time. The moment I saw you, I loved you. You had to have been the prettiest puppy I had ever seen. I began to cry because you were so Precious. I guess you thought I was sad because you started to give me puppy kisses all over my face. What a beautiful heart you had.
Soon after that, Daddy and Bryce had to leave to go to the store to get you some puppy food and chew toys. While they were gone is when I named you. There could be only one name for a puppy as precious as you and that is Precious….and it fit you very well. You became apart of our family when you were 7 weeks old and I am so greatful to Daddy and Bryce for bringing you to me. God made you for me and I am so glad He did.
For the next 3 months you were happy, healthy, and a typical puppy. You loved your ears to be scratched and your belly to be rubbed. You loved to play with Roxanne (our other dog) chasing her around the house trying to tackle her. Then you learned how to jump onto the couch all by yourself. You were growing up so fast. You and Roxanne loved to chew on things and get into things together but what I’m going to miss the most is cuddling with you. I miss how you would let me hold you like a baby and kiss you. I miss your growl and bark, it was so cute and it always made me laugh.
Then on May 24th, 3 days before my birthday, you started throwing up. We had just changed dog food so we thought it was the food not agreeing with you. Then the next day you seemed to be better but by night time you were weak and pooping blood. I got online to look up dog symptoms and everything pointed to Parvo, which there is no cure for and the disease is almost always fatal. The next day, on Memorial Day, (May 26th, 2008), you showed the statistics to be right and you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge disease free and once again happy and healthy. Oh, how I miss you Precious and wish you were here. But not if your sick. I never want you to suffer again. I love you Precious!!!!! From now on I will carry a special meaning of my own for Memorial Day and I will always remember you, my baby Precious. You were here just 5 short months and you had my heart from the very first day. When you left, you took a big peice of my heart with you. I will never forget you!!!!
Please watch for me as I enter into the great Beyond. It will seem like a few minutes to you but to me it will be an eternity. I know you will be playing, running and having fun. I look forward to the day I can see you again, my baby Precious. Please say hello to Wiggles, Snoopy, Snickers, Valentine, and Sidekick for me. I will see all again soon.
Until we see each other again,
my thoughts will be with you every day.
With Love,
| Precious |
