You came into my life where I was in no position to take care of you. The medical attention you needed from your former owners that left you abused and frighten running endless nights, that made your paws raw and week that you couldn’t run fast enough from the car coming to hit you, that kept driving leaving you with a pain that made you howl loud enough for me to hear across the way…I ran so fast down my stairs to go rescue you, my only fear was you would run from me scared. The moment you set eyes on me, you ran so fast like a newborn puppy towards me. At that moment the relief in your eyes. I knew I would have to change my life when I was at my lowest to go through the journey to give us both a better life.
I can remember like yesterday you followed me into my house like you have been there already. The sound of your lips as I kept pouring you water and water. I can’t get it out of my head how happy you where even though you where sick. I had no food to give and you did not complain. As you laid on my floor and fell right to sleep. I woke up with your breath panting in my face to go pee. I thought I woke up from a dream, but you were real. That was the day I had a reason to get out of bed. That day forward you began the process for me to want to live again; you never left my side. I am who I am today, because of you Srappy…
I thank you and we shared some tough battles between the both of us, but the comfort we gave each other is something that only you and I can understand. I am struggling without you..I know you are at peace physically, but don’t feel alone mentally because I am alone too without you….I will do whatever it takes to succeed for you, so someday I will die in peace knowing I made something out of my life. Then we will meet again and be together forever.
Wait for me where ever you are and I promise to bring you your favorite yogurt and a huge bag of animal crackers, and my goofy dance moves the made you excited ….. I hope you forgive me for ending our bond, but I did not want you to suffer for me anymore while you where in pain. Scrappy you did the best and you will never be forgotten…I LOVE YOU AND CRY EVERY NIGHT
THAT YOU ARE SAFE WITHOUT ME AND HAPPY!!!!
"lots of hugs and kisses",
