Savannah by Regina French / Mommy Regina
I am at a loss as to what to say to you Savannah. I miss you so very much. I miss everything you did that showed me how much you loved me. I have a hole in my heart. You followed me in the house, you followed me outside. You loved to go to the dump. I took you one last time even though it broke my heart to take you, then take you to the vet to be put to sleep. I didn’t want you to hurt anymore. Now you don’t.
I promised you when I brought you from the flea market in Savannah, Georgia that this would be your last home. It was and still is. You are in the backyard with Duke and Duchess.
It rained today but you weren’t afraid.
You will always be with me, I promise. With you gone, all my joy in living is gone. Maybe I can find a way to go on with your memories.
Rest in Peace my faithful friend. You loved me unconditionally. I only hope I gave you back the love you so deserved.
You are now with Duke, Duchess and Princess.
Duchess by Regina French / Mommy
My friend and best thing that ever happened to me. I am trying so hard to find the words to explain how I feel. I love you with all my heart but it is so broken right now, I don’t know if I can express my true feelings.
You loved me unconditionally. No matter what I did or didn’t do you stood by my side.
The last six months have been so hard. You developed so many problems. I still don’t know if I made the right decision. I just hated the thought that you were suffering. You couldn’t tell me. You walked the floors and would lay down and get up. You just didn’t seem comfortable.
I will NEVER forget the love you showed me, on a daily basis, for 15 1/2 years. You followed me everywhere and laid by my chair or my bed every night.
Thank you for the puppy kisses your last day on earth.
You are such an angel.
Sleep in peace and forgive me.
I hope to see you again one day.

by Regina French / Your human, Regina
Hello Duke!! I miss you so much.
I will never forget the day we went to buy another basset. I never imagined I would get a male but I did. I am so glad that I did and thankful for the time we had together. You were and still are “the boy”. Sherry bought a life size statute of a basset and we call him “the boy”. Duchess and Savannah are still with us. We have another basset girl, Mollysue.
We still live on your land. I know how much you loved to “hunt” and run on your land. I’ll never forget when you got so sick how you walked the entire perimeter and then laid down under the azaleas.
I sit under the trees by your grave and remember you with such love that my heart aches. The girls lay by your grave. I just know they remember you and somehow know you are there.
I finally got a place in the mountains. The girls have been there once. You were with us, in spirit and in my heart. I would love to have
seen you in the snow.
Last night, October 14th, would have been your birthday. As always, I lit a candle and placed it on your grave. I also do that on the anniversary of the day you had to be put to sleep, as well as Christmas and New Years. You are not gone, just away. I know when I leave this earth you will be waiting for me at heaven’s gates.
