My dearest Ellie. You came into my life
when I needed you most.
You were my dream come true.
I had wanted a St Bernard ever
since I was a child. I cherish every moment
I spent with you and
I could not realize
in my wildest dreams
how much I would miss you.

God sent you to me because he knew
I would take good care of you
but did he know how hard
it would be to let you go.

Our four years together was so short.
I stayed up with you so many nights
when you were sick.
I am so sorry I didn’t stay up on
that dreadful Tuesday
Doc said you wouldn’t die I wish I had not believed him.
I am so sorry I wasn’t with you.
You were still warm when I came downstairs.
Please forgive me.
Even after all these months
I can’t believe you are not with me.

Rescue found me two more puppies
and they are wonderful in their own ways
but the can never you my baby.
You will always live on in my heart.

Ellie you are truly a Saint in many ways.
Thank you for saving my life. I wish I could have done more
for you my Awesome Ellie.

You will be with me always my love

Mommy
