Buttons by Donna Foreman / Mommy

You came to us in 1992. Things were not that great at the time. And I am sorry for that. I remeber the night of Hurricane Fran camme through.
My now ex-husband refused to let me bring you in the house. The kids and I waited till he went to sleep then brought you in. It was in the middle of the storm. I gave you to Grandma and Grandpa not to long after that because I knew you would get much better care than I could give you. It broke my heart but I knew they would love you.

You would get good food and a vet when you needed one. Things I could not give you. There you met Bear. Your best friend. The years you lived with them I could see how happy you were. They love you. Even spending hundreds of dollars to have you treated for heart worms. We thought you were going to die then but you showed how tough you were. Last year you got sick again. We thought this may be it. My situation had changed so I brought you back home with me so you could live inside the house. We wanted to make you as comfortable as possiable “in your last days”. Once again you showed how tough you are your “last days” turned into a last year. You bounced back. You gained weight and got your spunk back.

I brought you home to a new Daddy who loved you from the moment he saw you. DJ was so happy to have you back. You made a new friend Spyke. You brought so much joy to our family. I remember how excited you would get when we carried you to visit Grandma Grandpa and Bear or when Uncle Johnny or your Grandparents came to visit you. Some how I knew when Bear crossed the rainbow bridge last month you would follow behind him. I was right.

Yesterday you laid down at my feet like you always do and peacefully left this world. I miss you so much but I know you are happy. You and Bear are together again along with Giggles and Bootsie on the other side of the rainbow bridge waiting for all of us to join you.
