Kato by Karen

Dear Kato,
I only had you for one year and I love you with
all my heart and soul.
When you came into my life I did not know how much you
would come to mean to me.
My family loves you too and we will always treasure
what you gave to us.
Kato you were special and kind and full of love.
The joy you gave me there are just no words for how much
love you gave me. I tried so hard to make your life happy
and I hope and pray that you were happy.
Bob and his wife Heidi tried so much to give you
a normal life but your breeders did a terrible job at giving you a
body with bones that could not withhold your size.
After each operation Bob performed you were so good and
patient and such a good boy.
We tried to give you a pain free life and you were so patient
with each surgery.
You were such fun and so wonderful with my kids
and my own dogs even though you were also MY DOG
and I am going to miss you tremendously.
You gave me so much and I want to thank you for being
part of my family.
I will always remember you and how silly you could be.
I remember the times you would disappear and we would find
you in the bathroom garbage eating it-no matter
what was there. Or you would find a dirty bib eat it whole
then we would find it outside days later.
You were so funny and full of life.
You were so young at heart and all together except your
back legs that couldn’t support you.
I hope you had a good 8 years and that I got at least
1 year of it with you.
Kato you were so patient with my kids and I don’t think I will
ever find another dog like you. You were my special Kato and
I hope you are happy in your new home.

Go find Otter he is a little 14 week old Malamute with no tail
who we lost 9 years ago this month also.
You two will love each other and now I know Otter has a
special friend too.
Both of you together makes me think of good things and the
love you both gave me.
I miss you so much but you are pain free now.
I love you Kato and you gave so much to this family and
I hope you know how much you were loved.

I love you Kato someday we will meet again.
I hope your spirit comes to visit me someday.
I have an ache in my heart that just isn’t going away.
Please forgive me for not being able to fix you.
Go play and be free without pain and
I will see you later.

Love,

your earth Mom
