Still missing my Sweet Little Guy

To my sweet little guy - Mommy still misses you terribly. This year, you have been gone seven years - the same length of time that you lived. The seven years you've been gone feel like they've been much longer than the seven years you were here with me. Every time I see an animal that has been hit by a car, I think of you and my heart breaks all over again. It hurts so much that this was the way you left me, and not in your old age, in the fullness of time, as it should have been.

You will be missed and loved forever.
Love, Mommy

Mommy misses you, Sweet Boy

To Mommy's Sweet Little Guy:

It was one year ago today that I lost you - the worst day of my life! It's been a long year and I still miss you so much.

You were the best Christmas gift I've ever received! Mommy will never forget the day you came home, snuggled in Daddy's coat pocket and looking like the tiniest black ball of cotton that ever was. What a sweet thing you were! When I first held you in my arms, it was love at first sight. I miss you so much.

Over the next 7 years you became such an integral part of our family. You and Layla bonded and became the best of friends. You licked your way into all of our hearts, and you will never leave the place you created there. Mommy and Daddy still talk about how you would lie with your body half in, and half out of the sliding glass door - all we could see was your tail, hanging under the curtain, and when we would whisper to each other about that "sweet little guy" down there, your tail would wag back and forth but you still wouldn't come in. I miss you so much.

I will never get over that awful day when I lost you. I can still hear the sickening thud of the car hitting you as it whizzed past the house - they didn't stop - or even slow down! - my screams as I ran into the street after you, your sweet little body laying dead in the street. I remember carrying you back inside and placing you in a blanket, willing you to stay alive long enough to get to the vet's office. Layla took one sniff and knew, but I couldn't accept that you were gone. I raced you to the vet, who opened up even though they were already closed, and sobbed uncontrollably as he told me that you were already gone. That was the worst day, the worst moment of my entire life. I miss you so much!

It was a full year ago but still seems like yesterday, and I feel the despair as if it happened just a minute ago. You were my pride and joy, the dog of my life, and no other will ever replace you in my heart. I just miss you SOOOOOO much.

Keep on chasing those squirrels, Sweet Little Guy. You will always be in my heart and my thoughts. Always remember how much you were loved, and how Mommy, Daddy, and Layla miss you so very much.
