He is very sadly missed always remembered my every waking day and never forgotten. I often sit and stare into the wide open emptiness of a hole in my world where he was once was the missing jigsaw piece found in my life. I look at photo’s and see that beautiful scruffy face staring at me as if he was still there, ready to come trotting over for his daily cuddles and a bit of a fuss.
I miss the sight of my Dougal, lying content in his bed, or cuddled up to his best friend Jess, who misses him so much too. I miss the sound of his breathing when he’s next to me and that fluffy white coat with those little old eye’s looking into mine; knowing how I feel, and knowing that i love him.
I have friends who comfort me with their soothing words, yet they only work for the moment until I see small reminders in my daily life which open my arms to welcome him back, yet he will never be held tightly in my arms again.
This Christmas will be my very first without him, he would have been 18 Christmas eve, but he would have always been my puppy, my Dougal. Gone, but never forgotten.
Always missed.
I will love you always Dougal.
