My Dippy

I feel as though I owe you this. You lived such a short 2 1/2 years with us.

If I could have laid in bed for ten more minutes maybe this would

have never happened. You did nothing wrong the car speeding down

our street while Jamie my Daughter and Mystical our other dog were on

a routine walk when we were standing at the end of the driveway

you pulled your leash and went right in front of the speeding car,

there was car parts everywhere.

Jamie embraced you while I ran inside to go get daddy.

The driver was more concerned for his car parts in the middle

of the road than he was for you.

He said he would stop by to pay the vet bill well he never showed up.

I don’t care about his money it’s the principal

but I am over that now.

This is a letter dedicated to my best fried Dippy.

You were born on 01/15/99.

I will never forget the night Lisa my daughter brought you home

she was acting sneaky and carried something rapped up in a towel

into her room. Then she went back out to her car and went in her room

and locked the door something she never does.

I was stewing I thought for sure my 16 year old daughter had her

boyfriend in her room with her I went in and to my sparkling eyes

there you were on the bed we connected at love at first sight.

Dippy loved to go to the Dog Park we would spend many great

moments there. You had so many friends there that you always

played with.

They will all miss you But not as much as I will.

You always waited for momma at the front window until I pulled up

in the car and as soon as you would see me you would start whining

until I walked in and greeted you saying how much you missed me.

The most precious memory to me is when I would go to bed you came right

along with me you would get up on the bed and curl up between

Daddy and I as tight to us as you could.

I will always remember how you would lick all my tears whenever I

cried as if to say “it’s going to be ok momma”.

If ONE message I could get out to everyone that gets behind a

steering wheel it would be..

PLEASE slow down!

whenever you see people with dogs,cats,or baby strollers.

Just slow down you would still be here with me if he was not speeding.

It is a very tragic accident and it can happen to any of us in a split second.

The saddest part of this story is that this driver was yelled at different times

by so many different people about his speeding and to slow down.

But he had the need to speed one last time and it cost me you and

I am so very sorry for this. The hurt I feel for you you will never know.

What gives me great peace is that you were with the one’s that loved

and cared for you and that you could see hear and felt our touch

until your last breath.

I was there Dippy I was outside I put my head in the door every

10 minutes to ask how were you I am so sorry I could not be in the

same room with you. I was too upset and and it would have scared you.

But with this I make you one very dear promise.

I will meet you on that Bridge that beautiful Rainbow Bridge.

You brought me so much joy in the 2 1/2 years and I will cherish those

memories always and forever.

I know we will meet again one day.

God Bless you Dippy.

Go run in the meadows go play with Molly and all the other doggies.

Just do not forget one day I will be coming on that Bridge and

I am going to look at you and say

“momma’s home”.

I love you forever and always…

Momma
