The day you came into my life was the day my life changed forever. Daddy’s friend brought you to our home with your twin sister, and the both of you were so adorable, we couldn’t decide on who to keep (But I’m glad we kept you)! Your sister was kind of mean, but you were just so sweet! You jumped off the couch and ran around after me! I fell in love with you the first day that I met you! I knew you were an angel and that you were special because Daddy’s friend told us how when you were born you weren’t breathing and he actually gave you mouth to mouth! Right then and there I knew that you were the perfect one for me! Then when you were officially ours the first day we had you we put a diaper on you, that wasn’t the best of ideas, and Mommy took you to see Nanny and everyone fell in love with you! I couldn’t believe that a puppy could steal my heart like you did! But you did it! I fell in love with you the minute I layed my eyes on you! You had been my angel and I knew I would have you in my life forever!
Two years went by and me and you had many great times! Mommy & Daddy decided to get a new friend for you! Your nephew! You weren’t so happy because it was as though we kind of pushed you aside! But no matter what we loved you the same! Every Thanksgiving you got your turkey and ham and I always used to sneak you a piece of my roll just until it was time for your dinner! Every Christmas you and Baby Bear both got the same toys and never got anything less or anything more! You both held a special place in my heart! I loved you both the same!
We spent many years together and we had so many laughs, and never and bad moments, until that first time you got sick in 2007. I was so scared cause I didn’t want to lose you! But I didn’t, I could see your body growing old and weak and frail but Mommy & Daddy knew it wasn’t your time yet and it wasn’t! You gave us 3 more years of happiness! You would sometimes go a day without eating or drinking and we knew you were in pain but we didn’t want to let you go!
It seemed that every time you got sick it was worse than the time before! Then the week of 4th of July 2010 you got even worse and this time you didn’t eat for 3 days and couldn’t go to the bathroom, right then and there we knew your body couldn’t fight any longer! So we had to take you to the vet and they said there was nothing they could do for you! The abscess and hernia were so bad that if they operated there was no guarantee it would help or you would make it through the surgery. So on July 9th 2010 we had to make the painful decision of having to put you down, we didn’t want to see you suffer anymore then you already have! On July 10th 2010 at 9:00 a.m. we put you down! You went right away because your body couldn’t fight anymore!
You looked so peaceful as though you were just sleeping with your eyes open! I wasn’t ready to leave you there but we had to! It hurt when the veterinarian told us that you were gone, I nearly collapsed right there on the floor you weren’t just a dog to me, you we’re and still are my little brother! God wanted you in heaven! But you know what Troublemaker you gave me the best 12 and 1/2 years of my life and
I will never forget that!
Whenever I see something red I think of you because that was your favorite color! I keep finding the littlest thing of yours and just brings tears to my eyes! I find strands of your hair and find your toys everywhere and then I think of my little brother! Today when Mommy and Daddy went to work and I broke down in tears this is was one of the many firsts without you! But Mommy said something that made me think and smile, what is DOG backwords?? GOD and where are you right now? up in Heaven with GOD and Homeboy and many others having a ball! I Love You Troublemaker, My Heart, My Angel, My Little Brother! Forever you will stay in my heart!
With Love,
