My beloved Colton

Pups poem

It's been a month since we lost you Co and we still miss you greatly!

The honor was all mine
To have had such a great friend
But I know it was your time
Although I didn't want your life to end
My heart was selfish and weak
As you gracefully slipped away
The only words I could think to speak
Was please Colton I want you to stay?
In your eyes I was a king
You shared your love and loyalty every day
But you listened to the sounds of angel’s sing
As they gently carried you on your way
A peaceful journey to heavens gate
And one day again, I'll pet you there
Until then I know you'll lay and wait
And guard over me with such noble care
But on earth a heart will always mend
And your memory will never be replaced
The pain that I now feel will ascend
The joy you brought to me with such grace
love Dad and Shoe.

Thinking about you

I just had to write something for you Coco pups. just to let you know how much I still miss you . When I got home today there was no one to greet me at the door Cassie is having one of her girly days and just looked up at me only after I petted her on the head and asked her what she was doing on the sofa? I made my way to my room without you on my heels to take off my shoes without you nudging my hand to give you more petting I miss those nudges it only took seconds and not minutes to get them off. You would have loved today it’s cool and foggy, lightly raining no thunder to chase you into the tub for cover you always cracked me up when you hid there during thunder storms that‘s about the only time I could get you from beneath my feet. I just didn’t wont you to feel left out Cassie and I still love and miss you greatly. we'll see you at the rainbows bridge.Dad

A bark amongst the angels

February 9th 2005 I lost a true friend and a son. As we drove to the vets I promised you a new baby and everything would be fine knowing how much you hated going and you knew the drive well the closer we got the heavier you panted as I tried to calm you with the same words as always Daddy want let them hurt you, Your a big boy. While they prepped you for surgery I promised you that you'd be home in a day or so but I never expected you wouldn't be coming home with me. That day was a blur as I drove home I stopped and got you a baby as promised and Cassia greeted me at the door confused that you weren't with me and sniffing your collar and leash I believe she knew but told her Pups will be home soon. I did bring you home but not the way I wanted to but having the comfort of your remains in a urn by my bed brings me some peace. It's only been a few weeks and my heart is still full of sorrow but I know in time all the happiness you brought to me in your short life will heal the pain and I’m so honored to been able to share my life with you. We love and miss you my Pups. Your Dad and Shoe
You wore a halo on earth and sprouted wings in heaven
