Dookie or Duke by Robin {Mommy}

DOOKIE

A PIECE OF MY LIFE AND A CHUNK OF MY HEART! You knew how much you were loved and you loved us all back with forgiveness and unconditionally. I’ll never forget you baby and no one could ever take your place–they couldn’t live up to your charm intelligence appetite (smile) or your looks. You’ll always be our “weasel boy” (and “fat boy”) and I keep you near–going on “bye-byes” and at the taco shop and clinic.

So many people knew admired and loved you…we get words and cards of sympathy daily. There’s a new puppy here now and “Booger” is cute BUT HE ISN’T YOU1! He’ll help fill the void you left but my heart and memories belong to “DUKE”. You need to know how bad I punish myself for your death…I blamed God and ripped up all my pictures of Christ etc…

I know that it was not HIS fault nor all mine but I feel if I hadn’t gone out without putting you on a leash or not taking you out at all that you’d be here with me instead of in Heaven (I do know you’re in “Dog Paradise” and running with others eating all the “goodies” you wanted and going “bye-bye” often as well as knowing just how much you were loved. I never liked spanking you or denying food or yelling at you it was hard and I hated your running away (BUT we cracked up at your burying under the covers.

I LOVE YOU PRECIOUS ONE–
YOU LIVE ON IN MY HEART & MIND!
