Comet, I don’t even know where to start. I can’t write enough words to let you know how I felt about you or how I’m feeling now. It just feels “not right” around here without you! You would think with two little kids and a greyhound around it wouldn’t feel empty here but it sure does. Just sitting here on the computer and looking down, you should be here laying right next to me but the spot on the carpet is empty. Getting out of the shower, you should be there right outside the door but the hallway is empty.The landing at the top of the stairs is empty too! When I come home, you should be there running out into the garage to make sure I’m coming in but that doesn’t happen either. When the kids spill food,there is no little vacuum to suck it up! Everywhere I look for you,you aren’t physically there but I do know you are looking down and are still with us in everything that we do! I feel guilty going on walks or just going outside because you can’t do that with us anymore. You were my shadow for 9 years and I cant get used to not having one anymore.
I hope you know you were our first baby and this is killing us. We know we did the right thing for you because you weren’t enjoying life anymore so it does help to know you are in peace now.This might sound so dumb-but its hard to enjoy stuff now because I don’t want you to think we have forgotten about you and are just going on with life as usual.
You are always in our thoughts. We love Critter but he’s “just not you.” Everyone tells us,there wont be another you so we have to stop comparing him to you. He is trying to take care of us.Hes a good dog. You taught him well. Please know we will never forget you!!!
I love and miss you so much,
