Mindy girl,
I got you as a pup over 14 years ago, before I got married or had two children of my own. You were my baby girl, my child. As my life continued along its journey. The days turned into months, then the months into years. My days like sand in an hour glass so quickly they slipped away. You have been there with me through everything my life has brought me. What a blessing you were.
Now married and two little boys of my own, You were my little girl. Here we are. You are no longer young, no longer can you hear, I speak louder and walk closer because you can no longer see or hear well. You once loved to play and go along horseback rides with me. The last few times we had to carry you back in our saddles. Your legs could not carry you much. I know how much you loved hunting with your daddy. Oh how you pouted and slept on his hunting clothes when he did not take you. We speak to one another through eye contact. You spoke with your eyes, The last year the only thing you were able to do was wag your tail. I seen you age but also seen my young pup in your spirit and will to live. You continued to hang on day after day, for me I know, because you knew how much we all loved you.
May 3, was the last time sweety that I would ask you to come to me. I knew it was time for you to go, Time for me to let you. God bless you for trying to walk to me one last time, after you had a stroke you still came when I asked on one leg, dragging the other three. You had stopped wagging your tail. Sweet heart I had to make the decision to let you go, I am sorry. May your old tired body be young again, may your spirit be renewed, may you see and hear once again, may that little tail wag with happiness. I know how you enjoyed life. I know how you loved us. There is that spot in my heart that only you will fill. I believe there is a special place in heaven for angels like you.
I will try to dry my tears and wipe my cheeks once more……..for I prayed for you last night and the Lord answered,
“Do not cry any longer, Heaven has a doggy door”
God Bless your little heart,
