” Teak “

Just this Tuesday my boyfriend’s chocolate lab “Teak”

passed away unexpectedly.

Even though I wasn’t with her from the beginning of her life

I was there for almost half of it. She crawled into my heart so

easily and all she asked for in return was some love and attention.

I always teased my boyfriend and told him that she was “my” dog because

when ever I came over she was by my side until the time I left to go home.

We had a little routine whenever she saw me I would say “leaky teaky”

and she would get all excited and come up to me and brush up against me and

just look at me with those beautiful brown eyes as if to say “pet me pet me”

I really missed you!! I have cried almost every night because my heart

just feels so empty!! I am having a really hard time dealing with this.

She was such a unique dog and I just feel so many mixed emotions

about her death. I can’t even being how to explain how I feel when I think

about never being able to pet her play with her or just plain see her again.

She was 12 years old which is around the life expectancy of labs but you

would have never been able to tell that she was 12.

Sometimes if you weren’t paying attention to her and you were talking

to someone else she would give off a little bark to let you know that

she was still there and she wanted attention. It was so cute

and to know that I will never hear that again just breaks my heart.

I know in time that it will get easier. I feel that since I have wrote to you,

her memory will live on at least via internet and in all of the animal lovers

that read this. I just hope that she knows how much I loved her and

that she brought on so much happiness to my life

she will never be forgotten because she will always hold

a very special place in my heart!!
