I don’t know if you were trying to tell us it was getting near or you were getting ready to leave us that day I saw you laying in the sun by the front door and I had seen you having that first seizure with your little tongue that was on Sunday. I just let it go. I guess maybe I didn’t want to see you were getting old and something else was comming that would take you away from me.

On Thursday when I got home from work I asked “Where is Dot”. I knew you would be right there in my bedroom in your little bed. At 8:30 when you had that last seizure I called my mom to come to me cause I knew you wasn’t going to make it through the night. I stayed until I just couldn’t watch no more. You were breathing so hard and it just broke my heart to see you like that. Jeremy was there when you took your last breath and I’m glad I didn’t see it cause
it was so hard for me to give you up.

You were everything to me my little angel dog, my baby, my Dotty. I’m glad you didn’t suffer to long and it was quick. I kissed the top of your head when it was over and I knew then it was going to be hard to get used to you being gone. It still is. I’m still crying every day when I look out the back door and see your little grave. I think you would have liked the way we fixed. It’s for you. It is really pretty.

I’m going now but don’t you ever think for one minute I’ll ever forget you cause it will never happen “I love you with all my heart”.

 

With love,
