My Dearest Baxter,
It has only been a few hours since you left us,but right now the sadness is so consuming. I cant stand thought of you not being here. People always laughed and said I treated you like I would treat my own child, and yes you did become like a child to me. I will always keep you in my heart, and think of you often. I didn’t want to do as the Veterinarian said but I knew deep down in my heart it was only selfish to make you stay and suffer more than u already had. I love you Baxy Boy and thank you for every moment of happiness you brought not only into my life but the other people you came in contact with. I love you so very much and I know you will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for your mommy to continue where we had to leave off.
It Wouldn’t Be Heaven
I got to the gate of Heaven today,
after we said goodbye.
I began to miss you terribly,
because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an angel,
and she asked me to enter Heaven’s gate.
I asked her if I could stay
outside for someone who would be late.
I wouldn’t make much noise,
you see, I wouldn’t bark or howl.
I’ll only wait here patiently and
play with my tennis ball.
The angel said I could stay right here and
wait for you to come.
Because Heaven just wouldn’t be Heaven
if I went in alone.
So I’ll wait right here,
you take your time,
but keep me in your heart.
Because Heaven just wouldn’t
be Heaven without you
to warm my heart.

Forever Loving and Missing You,
