Mitzie by Marian Bonanno / Mamma

My darling Mitzie, I can not express how much I miss you. Sometimes, I just can’t believe you are gone. I thought I had a few more years with you but you got sick so suddenly. I was asleep, then heard you not being able to breath and rushed you to the vet. I had only been up a half an hour and I stood there in shock, holding your body, begging God to wake me from my nightmare. I honestly can’t remember crying as hard as I did as I held your lifeless body.

You had a horrible vet and never will any of my animals ever go to her again. She knew what you meant to me but she didn’t care. I’m doing a bit better but it is SO hard trying to accept you are gone. It’s not fair! You weren’t finished living your life and I was not ready to lose you.

I miss your little piglet snort and you roughing up your bigger brother because he found your stash of milkbones. I loved watching you walk around with a milkbone and watching you sit, with your “Tina Turner” hair all over the place, looking for a spot to hide it. You were so much smaller then your big Yorkie brother but YOU RULED and he knew it.

I sometimes wonder if I will ever get over this. It just seems so wrong that you had to go but I know God is watching over you, sweet dog. It’s just so hard going on without you, Mitzie. You TRULY were my best friend. Thank you for always being there for me. I am just so lost without you. You were one in a million. Go over the Rainbow Bridge.
I will be there someday.

 

I loved you so and always will,
Mitzie
