To my one and only: I know we had stupid names for you: Toots, Tootums, Tweety, Bellsey-Welsey, Mamma’s Little Angel, Tootie-Louise, etc…sorry about those! I knew when I got you out of that cage over 15 years ago that I would have to say goodbye someday. I wish I would have known how amazing you were going to be because I just can’t bear to not have you here in my life. I love you and miss you more than any words can say. John * * *
To my Belle: From the minute you walked through that door until just a few days ago, you made me the happiest guy in the world. Thank you for putting up with me and my nonsense. You were my angel. I loved waking up and having you there. I loved coming home to you after a hard day at work and thank you for all those wonderful greetings every time I walked through the door. I loved going to bed and having you there. I loved walking with you, talking with you – I loved everything about you and I will miss you terribly. A huge chunk of my soul left with you on Wednesday and as long as I know it is right beside you as you sleep, I am okay with that – you can keep it. I love you, Belle – goodbye my little angel. David
