Otis Winston Smith, March 2004 - 4/11/2015 Small Cam

To my beloved pug Otis who I lost on 4/11/2015 at 10:43 A.M. Dear sweet Otis, I have not been able to put a tribute on this website until now because the tears are flowing so heavily I can not see what I am typing.  You are the loss of my life time. You lived with me and your special friend your daddy for 11 yrs, we slowly added Frank, Harley and the youngest Maggie Mae to our family.  You got a hard start in life when as a puppy you suffered through Leptospirosis, but you made it! You gave us so much joy I didn't know time was passing us by so fast.  You were diagnosed with Diabetes two years ago and I remember I had to stick you with those terrible needles twice a day for your insulin. I hated that but I wanted you to live. You went blind last summer with glaucoma and it progressively go so bad you did not know where you were going. About a month ago you came down with bronchitis and pneumonia and I had to stick pills down your throat and that was more torture for you I know. Finally after days and days of coughing and wheezing Dr. Ben looked down your throat to find you had Bronchomalacia which meant you could not breath. We brought you home that night hoping we could keep you hanging on-but your last night with us you suffered so bad, and I loved you so much....I did not want you to suffer anymore.  You brought so much love into our lives, I will always remember your bark and how you used to bounce up and down on your front legs when you were excited. I still have your blanket, baby dolls and your ball in a plastic bag.  Every once in awhile I go to them and smell them and you are with me again only for a moment though. I am so sorry I had to torture you with needles and pills, but still you brought us joy.  I look at your daddy's bed where you slept and you are not there. Sometimes I lay down where you should have been and try to feel your presence. You were my first and best pug ever-you were always on the alert for burglars and you could always smell a skunk before the rest of the other pugs.  I miss you playing with your ball in the hallway before bed. I miss you so much I don't know how to go on.  To think I was the one that made you leave this world kills me, I am so full of grief and regret and I miss you so much. You are no longer on the loveseat with me; and the house is so quiet even with the other pugs, we hear that you are not here.  I don't know how to move on, I just want you back!! Maybe just for a moment for a last hug and kiss.  Please know that no other pug will ever take your place.  You were perfect and beautiful and I loved you with all my heart.  Now that you are gone I don't know what to do with all the time that I usually spent taking care of you.  I pray all the time that you are in a beautiful place with other pugs and are no longer sick.  I will never forget you and I will always love and miss you. My life will never be the same and your daddy feels the same way.  He misses you in his bed at night.  Goodbye sweet baby Otis, rest in peace and be happy wherever you are.  Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge because we will be coming to get you someday.  I love you now and always will, your mommy Sheila Smith.
