Beauty was my little girl, as real a child to me as my own son is. She gave me a beautiful nine years of unconditional love, devotion, companionship and happiness.
She knew the color of her toys, their names, and how to put her toys away when she was finished playing with them. She always met me at the door after work, and never left my side, until it was time to go again.
Beauty, I love you, and it breaks my heart even now. I will always remember the softness of your fur, the beautiful brown spots in your blue eye, and the blue spots in your brown eye. I remember you catching snowballs in your mouth, digging up the yard, the time you stole peppermints from the candy dish, and my sandwich off the table.
I remember you begging for oreos, and telling me with your husky chortles “I love you.” My broken heart still aches, and my tears still flow. You were my life, and it seems empty, even now, almost 10 years later.
I know that you are waiting for me on the other side, and that we will once again be together. Please forgive me for the pain I caused you. You were the very best dog in the universe! You could not have given me more love if you tried. You were my dear Boo-boo, my baby, my sunlight, my love, my little girl, my pal, my bed bunky, and my canine angel. When you stand at the gate and howl for me, I hear you, and I cry, too. I miss you so very badly.
Run free, my little girl, until your Mommy comes over, too. I love you, sweetheart, and I always will. Always, forever and ever until time ends, my little Beauty.
