Rebel,
You passed away December 30th, 2010. I miss you more than anything in the world. What I would give to be able to hug you one last time, kiss your wet nose one last time, run my hands through your soft curls. You were taken from me so premautrely, I miss you my buddy. 3 trips to the vet that dreadful week was not enough. Your vet missed the bloat and misdiagnosed you. She said you had pneumonia and would be well in a few days. Those few days never came…you passed away later that day. The pain in my heart is so heavy. I didnt even get to tell you goodbye buddy. Oh how I miss you. I watched your memorial video today and broke back down. I guess I wasn’t ready for that yet. It was nice to see you smiling for the camera with your goofy grin. Glory and Whimper are missing you bad. They spend half the day looking for you. I have your collar in a baggie so it will hold your smell. You smelled so good on your last day with us. The kids ask where you are all the time. They know you are in heaven now looking down on us. I think the girls are trying to follow in your footsteps buddy.
They have started doing all of the naughty things you used to do. Chewing on the kids’ toys, getting into the trash, and getting things off of the counter. I hated when you did all of that. But I wish you were still here to do it. Your puppy class graduates this week. I can’t bring myself to go watch it. You were the star of the class in my eyes. You were doing so good. I was so proud of you Rebel. You were my best naughty boy ever. I miss you so much. Wait for me at the end of the bridge.
I will come for you someday and we can reunite. Our bond was so strong and to have you ripped from me hurts. I love you Rebel. I think of you everyday and speak of you often. I am having your portrait painted to put in a shadow box along with a plaque and your collar.
Until I see you again,
