The Last First

Hey BooBoo..I wake up this morning extremely sad for this is the last first....the first anniversary of your death. It seems like only yesterday and yet again ages ago that I held you in my arms. Words alone cannot decribe the joy you brought me throughout the years or the pain over losing you. Life goes on and you are always with me. I carry you in my memories but mostly I carry you in my heart. There you will always be...my very special boy...and that can never be taken away. I know you are at the Bridge with Shawn and so many wonderful pups that have left their loved ones....for that I am happy...the thought that I will someday see you again holds me togeather....I have faith that I will once again hold you in my arms.....so until that day comes...run the fields and know that I love you always.......Rest in Peace my love

Forever

You will always be my forever Valentine....Happy Valentines Day baby boy...I love you and miss you bunches!

Watching from above

Oh Mom, you done me proud! I'm so happy watching you with your new little guy and I know he is eventually going to have you trained as well as I did! He's got spunk and I can see you both love each other very much already. I tell him things in his dreams you know. How do you think he knew to put his neck over yours to sleep the other night? That's right...it was me! I've got alot of things to put into his little head...you wait and see! You couldn't have gotten a better little guy to honor me with! Thanks Mom!

Kisses from the clouds,
Dakota

Another Arrival at the Bridge

Hi Mom, I have to tell you what happened today. The arrival harps sounded and we went to greet the new bridge pups. Well, I saw Cody, you know Trish's little Sheltie. I ran yodeling "CODY, CODY, OVER HERE!!
She saw me and came running over. She's really something! I wanted to show her the fields and the streams where we run all day, but she was a bit sad. You know the sad we have at leaving you to come here. I told her that it's always hard on those we leave behind. I told her how I watch you still cry but that I see you smile alot more now. I also told her that her Mom will come get her someday and that until then all she has to do is play and run. She's still sad, but I got her to agree to a run through our famous green fields. We're off, tell Trish I will take very good care of her.
Love you.

your new boy

Hi Ma, Dakota here.....I see you are getting that baby boy Basenji you have been waiting for. I am SO happy for you! I know you love all your pups, but I held a special place in your heart. I sure hope little Apache helps heal your aching heart. He sure does look like a winner! Being able to be involved in showing him will give you two a special bond...I'm so happy for that. I love you Mom and I will watch you with your new little boy from up here with a big ole smile on my face.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Dakota.....I wish you were here to celebrate it...another first....the first of your birthdays without you....there are no words to explain the depth of my sorrow. I'm rather numb today...just going through the motions. I miss you so very very much and I love you...always.....................

Christmas

This is my first Christmas in 13 years without you....Merry Christmas baby boy....I miss you and will always love you..............

Hey Baby

Hi Dude,

Have I told you lately how much I miss you? I know you know my heart aches because you aren't here. I'm trying to get into this whole Christmas thing, but I just can't this year. Oh, I've got plenty excuses, but the fact is, this is my first Christmas without you in so many years, I just want it over. With your birthday just days later, I just don't know how to be happy right now. I miss you warming my feet at night. I miss the way you would lean into me when I pet you and put your head back and give me that look if I dared stop. I miss that banging that used to drive me nuts. I miss you, I miss everything you were Dakota. I just thought I'ld let you know....................

I love you always..................
