Dear Socks,
We hope you know how much everyone loved you. We are comforted by the fact that you lived a long and happy life and hope you understand why we had to give you a little help getting to Heaven yesterday. You were a great dog that will never be forgotten because you had a personality that was all your own, which is a good thing. You were special without a doubt and we know that you can see and hear and that your heart and kidneys are all better up there in Heaven, So go play with Bailey and be happy.
