For My Shadow;

I miss you so very much!

You were my good boy my "dude" my "wookie".

I feel like I'm never going to be the same again.

At night I still think that you're laying

by the side of my bed.

I can still see you sitting on the bottom step.

I miss you following me around the house;

sometimes I felt like you were a wart on my side--

I wish you still were.

I miss the way you'd paw my arm

when I didn't scratch you long enough.

I dread walking in the house and not hearing

your happy bark or the way you'd grab

my arm gently

in your mouth and hold it there.

Poor Chey-Chey misses you so much too.

She walks around the house looking for you boy.

I hope you knew I was holding you when you left this Earth.

I question if I did the right thing;

but you were so sick! "Dude"

I love you and am waiting

to bring back home where you belong.

Love Always,

Mommy Daddy Kayla and Chey-Chey
