We adopted Riley on Feb 14, 2012 as a 1 year old crazy pup from our local rescue.  He was our first dog together as husband and wife.  Riley loved toys and was a cuddle bug.  We lost him way too soon!  We think of him all the time and will always love him!

My Teddy…

I miss you so much now that you’re gone. Eleven years just wasn’t long enough. You were my baby, my “mama’s boy”. You followed me everywhere, even when you were sick and didn’t have the energy. You still managed to stay next to me somehow. There will never be another Ted like you! It’s so hard to let you go because I love you so much. I know you’re not sick anymore and now you can run and play again. I am happy to know that you are at the rainbow bridge with Coco, Rocky, Murphy, & Baby. I will see you again someday…

 

Baby… I’m glad that I picked YOU that day at the shelter. Even though you went blind during our time together, you always managed to get by. You went through a lot and were always the best about it. You were purring when I first held you… You were purring until the very end. I will never forget you. Now you can see! I love you Baby girl…

 

Murphy,

You came in and out of my life too quickly for me. I knew the moment I saw you that you were the one for me. I think you knew too. You were the smartest dog that I’ve ever known. Why they gave you up? I’ll never know… I’m so glad that they did because I found you and you became part of my family. My life won’t be the same without you. I want you to know that I’ll always be thinking of you. I’ll always love you. There’s just never enough time to say it…

 

Cher,

You were more than just a goldfish to me. You were one of my pets and I will really miss you. I had four great years with you and really got attached to you. I never thought you’d live so long or get so big. You were the best goldfish that I’ve ever had. I know that you’re swimming in that big goldfish pond under the Rainbow Bridge waiting for me.

 

Rocky,

You were a great dog. I had some great times with you while we were growing up together. I didn’t want to let you go, but I knew that it was your time to go. I know that you don’t feel the pain anymore and I’m happy to know that you are with Sammie and Coco waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I miss you so much. Don’t forget how much I love you. I know that you’re here with me. Remember that I’ll always love you.
