My beloved Diesel Blue, where has the time gone? One year ago today I said good bye to you my beautiful Babyman. I just can't believe that you are gone and a year has past. I still can close my eyes and feel you here. You were so very sweet and loving and friends with so many. From the first day we met, you captured my heart and I was changed forever. You were so goofy and sweet, and oh did you know how to work that sweet face of yours! When you got sick, I was beside myself. The cancer took you so fast, that I really didn't have time to adjust to the fact you would be gone. I love you so very much my sweet baby, and miss you every single day. I know that you are pain free and with your sister Gabriella and the two of you are having so much fun, just like you did when you were together here.
I love you, my Babyman and I know someday we will be together again, and until that time, please visit me in my dreams.
Today would have been my Babyman's 8th birthday. I still can't believe that he is gone.
I still recall so strongly the day we went to "just look" at puppies... 2 hours later we were driving home with my boy fast asleep in my lap. He captured my heart that day, and since meeting him I was forever changed.
We had a huge 1st birthday party for him "Babyman's Birthday Bash", there were about 9 Great Danes there, 3 labs, and 5 mix breeds. We had put all the doggie treats in doggie bowls around the house and had water stations throughout out the backyard. We set the people food and drinks on the kitched counter, we thought it would be out of reach, but you know those Danes! Otis, my friend Amy's boy went right up and helped himself to the cheese plate! It was so funny!! Amy & I just laughed, the next thing my ex's Dad went up and asked if the cheese was good, and we looked at each other and yes, "Yes, it seems to be a real hit"! So, he helped himself!
That day was just one of many special days I had with my boy. He had an amazing way about him, he always seemed to know when I needed him to make me laugh, or kiss away my tears.
My beautiful boy was ready to go, he told me on Saturday evening the same day one year before that his sister Gabby crossed the bridge.
My goal from the beginning was to keep him as comfortable as possible. Saturday he was restless and he looked at Me to tell me it was okay.
Sunday came and I decided that I would have to let him go. I called my ex and told him, and we made plans for him to come by and visit the following day.
On Monday morning we woke up and drove out to the house he first lived in out in the country. He seemed to remember the drive and got excited when I hit the gravel drive. He got out and walked and marked his old stompy grounds. We then went to our dog run and I laid down down some blankets and we laid in the sun and just enjoyed the moment. He had some of his favorite visitors and for dinner he had filet mignon. :)
This morning we woke up, had some ground sirloin and rice for breakfast and a few more treats and of course one last Jumbone.
Diesel was able to walk himself into the clinic and had a smile on his face like always. We laid down on the blankets and put our pillow under his head. I laid next to him and rubbed his gorgeous ears and told him that I would be okay and it was time for him to see his sister Gabby.
Diesel was my love, and coming home without him, well I think I am still out of it.
Diesel Blue, my darling boy... from the moment you walked into my lap,you walked into my heart. You will always be my Babyman and I know that I was blessed to be loved by you.
Run and play with Gabby and I hope the two of you visit me in my dreams.
