Roxy, you spent a long 12 years in my family and have been through so much with me, coming into my life to help me contain the grief of the loss of my mother at the age of 12, and again the helping me deal with the loss of my father, OUR father, at age 23, helping me through the transition periods during two house moves, I could not have gotten through any of these situations without you by my side; you were my best friend through it all, I shouldn’t to cry on, you made me strong when I thought I was weak,
and for all this I love you!
I regret how it ended. I knew the time was nearing when I would have to make a horrible choice, do I follow my selfish side and do all I can to keep you with me. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye yet, or do I make the hardest choice of my life! But I had to do it; i couldn’t see you put through any stress and suffering. You were such a good friend to me. I had to do right by you before things got too bad and I believe I did this. I’m glad it happened when it did whilst you still had your pride and dignity about you; you weren’t suffering and that was my most important factor.
I will miss you every day, and there will never be another dog like you. I’m just gratful that I got to spend 12 long and lovely years in your company. If the next doggy daughter that comes in my life is only half the dog you were, then I’m in for some great times!
Say hi to dad for me, and there better be a game of fetch waiting for me when we meet again.
Love you loads; miss you more. xxxxx
A loving, caring and noble creature, gone but NEVER forgotten!
