It seemed like only yesterday when you were born.

I remember when we decided to keep you.

You stood at the top of the step looking down upon us like

you were royalty.

That’s when George decided to name you Dutchess.

Dutchess you were the most active puppy I had ever seen.

Full of life and lots of love. You gave me so much love it’s hard to

comprehend that I won’t get this anymore.

The day you ran out of the house I just knew you would

be right back as you always have.

I normally would pray when you would go outside but this time

I didn’t or forgot.

I guess I was distracted when my company came in.

At first I blamed her then myself for not praying for you.

You were very unusual. So much energy and life!

I can’t imagine living without you but I know someday we

will be together again. I pray that you’re having a wonderful time

over that Rainbow Bridge. I’ve written you a few letters.

I know you got them. I can feel it in my heart.

Dutchess I want another puppy not that he/she will replace

you but so that I can feel that love again.

Dutchess your unconditional love was rare.

I don’t know that I will ever receive it again.

Don’t feel sorry for me I’m just in one of my moods right now.

I lite a candle for you and I know you know it because I believe.

I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Please be happy where you are mommy will be

there too one day.

Lots and Lots of love and kisses.

Mommy
