A shelter dog from the Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge... You were a "stray--not claimed", and we were forever grateful that your abusive family never claimed you. You were so very sweet, right from the start, but so afraid... large men, children, bikes, loud sounds... oh, what had they done to you?
We made it our mission to make sure you understood that we loved you, no matter what. And you blossomed. You became a Love Bug. You were never happier than when you were meeting and greeting people while fundraising for the Golden Retriever rescue. You taught so many babies and little children not to be afraid of big doggies. When the Rescue wanted to include you in their Calendar, we were hard pressed to find a picture of you that didn't include children or people!
We had 10 glorious, wonderful, fantasmagorical years with our HoneyBunny... She was our Sunshine, our sweetest Sunshine... She made us Happy when skies were grey...

I so wish Daddy could think of me, talk about me, without crying. It's been three years today since I left so suddenly for the Bridge. Three years of tears. But Daddy, you meant the world to me. You were my extra special person on Earth, so much more special as I was afraid of big men when I first came to live with you. You and I developed a bond, one that still exists even though now I live only in your heart. I am always close by, always watching, always loving.
Daddy, for Father's Day my wish for you is that you think of me without sadness. You think of me and smile. You think of me and remember only the warmth of our love. Don't cry because it's over, Daddy. Smile and be happy that it happened--that we had those ten wonderful years. You taught me how to trust and love big men again, Daddy. Remember that love.
Happy Daddy's Day.
UPDATE: Mommy and Daddy were talking about all of us this afternoon, and she slipped some memories of me into the conversation... and Daddy smiled and laughed! Oh, Daddy, that was the best Father's gift ever!!! Smiles, not tears :D

UPDATE: Meaty's surgery went very well. They had to remove more bone than they had hoped, but his eye still appears to be functioning. Please stop by Meaty's website if you have a chance. Info is in Plus Information forum and the Dog Health forum.
