Wee Wee,

I think you knew how special and precious you were and are to both
of us. There wasn't a thing we wouldn't do for you.
You were our fur baby. My boy. Losing you has us grief
stricken. We know we did the right thing at the right time
but we struggled and didn't want to be the ones to take your
precious life. I kept wanting another day, but we knew we
had to be merciful and think only of you and what you
needed. We did everything in our powers to keep you here,
between all the meds, vets trips, ER visits, but then you became
too weak. My heart just keeps breaking over and again.
Daddy misses you so much he is having trouble talking about it. He
misses calling you every morning and petting you every morning
like clockwork. Now I hear silence in the morning where I
used to hear playful talk. We adored you. I thought
maybe when you came home it would get a little better. You
are home with us where you belong that much I can say. My
heart just keeps aching and breaking for you. I know you
would not want to see us this way but I try and suppress it then
when we are out to eat I will hear a song and start to cry.
It happens anywhere. You know we love you and wish you were
with us healthy and strong. Nine years was not nearly long
enough. You are my precious and I will always remember the
things that made you uniquely you...
I love you my precious boy.
Love Always,
Mommy and Daddy

Dear Whitney,
Well it has been about two weeks since your death. I pray you are
living in divine health and waiting for me in heaven. I am totally
heartbroken that you have left my life. I bought a plant yesterday
to put on your grave. It is unbearably quiet here. I miss our
movie watching snuggles, our walks and rides in the car. Your warm
body and the love you gave me was so comforting and precious to
me.
I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Shelli adopted
you. You had a little red collar and were shaking from the cold.
It wouldnt be long before you were hit by that car and lost an eye
and had that broken pelvis. I took you for round the clock care as
Shelli was working. We soaked in the tub in my special herb soaks,
I placed you outside to get some fresh air and sunlight, those
were the times you had that special "doggie smile" that warmed my
heart.
I miss you beyond what I can physically feel. There is a huge hole
in my heart. I went to check the mail today and broke down. You
are not here to walk with me in your stroller around the complex.
You loved riding it so much since your back and weakness made
walks too hard on you.
You have been my comfort through so many trials. You hated to see
me cry. If I fell you would come running for me. We sure had some
great adventures and times. 14 years has gone by so fast. I miss
you chasing the ball..zipping after the squirrels..sleeping in the
sun, your cold nose on my leg to thank me for a good meal and
kisses. Riding in my bicycle basket, running in the lake at A.
Janes, at the beach in Florida..everytime I have to grocery
shopping I stop and think, I have got to hurry, Whits waiting in
the car so we can unload and go for a walk. Then come back home to
see what surprise I had bought you. But no more.
I do not know how to end this pain. I trust God and family will
help me. My life feels so empty. But they say "Joy Comes in the
Morning"..I patiently wait....
