Tommy

My Dearly Beloved Tommy, You were such a fun loving  high spirited bowl of energy to be around. You were 4 when I got you and for the next 11 years this was your home. For years you would sleep in my bed, and I loved holding you next to me.You would play fetch with your tennis balls outside  for hours, and later in years inside with your smaller balls. We played until your eyesight got so bad you could no longer see them. You lost your hearing also in the last year, but that never stopped us from our walks we  always enjoyed together. For 5  years we would go out to Jim’s house on weekends until he had to leave this world in 2018. You would run up and down his stairs, and we would play ball outside and also go on walks out at his place in Ramsey.You could jump so high also. When you needed to go out I never needed to leash you, as you would always run back inside when you were finished. You would follow me around the yard , ignoring the outside world and whoever would walk by.I hope my  others were there to meet you.Now, until I’m able to join you, run free and fly high. You are Forever in my Heart my Beloved Tommy.

My Dear Beloved Toy Soldier,

Thank you for the wonderful years we got to spend together. I wish there would have been many more. You were the most beautiful little prancer I have ever seen. When you would run, tossing your head in the breeze like a miniature horse, it would take my breath away. You made me so very proud. We had so many beautiful walks together. We will again, when I come for you and Howdy Doody at Rainbow Bridge. I hope you all are having fun up there now. I will always love my very dear Toy Soldier.

 

♥Howdy Doody♥ by Susan Shir / Susan

My Dear Beloved Howdy,

It’s been over 15 years since we’ve been apart, and it still hurts so bad. Thank you, my Love, for the most wonderful years of my life. How I miss all our walks we took. I so loved to carry you when you would get tired. Remember how you loved to play with your little blue ball, and your big blue ball outside, and later inside in the basement while I would shoot pool. Then we would go upstairs for our butterscotch treats you loved so much. I still suffer with regrets and the guilt that goes along with it, but I pray everyday to God to be with you for all eternity in heaven with our Dear Lord. So until I come to get you at Rainbow Bridge, know that I’m ever loving and missing you.
I forever love you my Howdy Doody.
Mamma Susan.
