Bruno Jeffers by Monica Jeffers / Mommy

Dear Bruno,

You came into our lives in December 2004 and left us July 21, 2005 at 0530 in the morning. I knew you were mine and loved you from the moment I first saw you and I knew that every one else who met you would love you too. You were such a sweet, loyal, graceful,
and beautiful dog.

You loved to go jogging with Richard in the morning and every morning, you would come to see if Richard was still in his bed, even when he was out of town. You loved to watch Emery play basketball outside. You were such a loyal and wonderful fan.

You loved to cuddle with Colby on your futon and stay there all night. You protected Ashley by sitting on the side of the bed when she was watching TV or doing her homework. You loved my chicken and rice and I remember once you ate every single bite and licked the bowl dry. I will always remember you when I make that dish. It was as if you knew what every one of us needed from you to feel loved by you.

You loved to go in the back yard and scratch yourself on the plant on the wall and then run around with me on the golf course like a puppy. You looked so beautiful sitting on the golf course, listening to the birds chirp, with your beautiful black and brown fur glistening in the sun, and your pierce brown eyes watching us from far away. I will never forget that image of you. You looked like a King or a Prince.

You would always run to the door when the door bell rang, except today, when I wanted you to come downstairs and rang the door bell and you looked at me so helplessly. I am so sorry that I couldn`t help you today.

I`m so sorry that I took you downstairs to go outside and then you were not able to make it upstairs because you were so weak and I saw you take your last breath. I will never forget your face and how you wanted me to help you and I couldn’t.

I will forever be sad for that last moment of your life and wish it was different. I’m so sorry that you suffered so much the last few months. You were always so friendly and kind, so loving and sweet, so gentle and quiet and peaceful. We will all miss you and hope to see your beautiful spirit again in the worlds to come. Good bye my dear Bruno.

I will always love you,
