I remember all of you…I remember being 9 and walking outside to my parents car and seeing the funniest looking dog ever..with long back legs and a terrified look on his face…I remember yelling…A dog!! We got a dog!! Spoofie, you were to be with us for a two week trial and 11 years later we said goodbye to you as you left this world lying in my arms and chewing my thumb. You were such a good boy and my best childhood friend…everywhere I went, you went. You were my constant companion and my angel. I look at my Prince and I see some of you in him…in the way he looks at me, gives me his paw, a kiss and then a giant BURP..and I think…Spoofie! I have seen your signs and know you watch over us….I miss you my beautiful tri collie…hard to believe you’ve been gone for more than 20 years…I still see you.
My Jakey face bologna butt….my baby…my angel…7 years ago you left me…you too lying in my arms as they helped you go to sleep to escape the pain in your body….your big brown eyes looking at me and telling me it was okay to let go. You gave me so much love and joy in the 14 years I was blessed to be your mommy…you were my friend in the loneliest of times…the reason I lived and 7 years later I remember your kisses and cuddles…I have your stuffed beagle on my dresser and your pictures everywhere. You are still my heart and when I look at Miss Molly I see so much of you and your gentle sweetness.
Chames…Barney…You both left the same way…went outside and never came home…..you are so missed by all…Chames, Allie never had a friend like you again…she doesn’t allow herself to get close to the other cats as she did with you…I think she is still hurting for you….watch over her…and Barney…Freddy will never be the same since he lost his brother,
and his best buddy.
I know that all of you are with Joe (daddy) in heaven and I know that when we get there you will all be there waiting…along with our Red & Rocky and our other angels who are still with us now but will be there with you sometime. I miss you all so much.
With every breath-every day,
