Sweetest big brown eyes - so full of wisdom

Sweetest big brown eyes - so full of wisdom

We were exiting our small town grocery store when my 4 yr. old son said, "Mom, every boy needs a dog.". He chose Teddy out of the box and we had you for nearly 13 years. Twice you were dog-napped, as a pup, because you truly looked like a Teddy Bear.

Your big brown eyes and always wagging tail. You were the smartest dog I ever had. I miss you so much...it hurts so much.

You had a few 'irritants', but now I miss those also. Even your constant digging. When you 'spoke', you did it with gusto. You always let me know if you had a need or just wanted a treat.

We all miss you so much. It's just so odd that part of our lives now has a closed door. I can't go back and give you one more hug. Or, open the door for you to go out or in. No more car rides. And, I feel so guilty I didn't take you on more.
I just miss you so much.

You loved to run and had more energy than most. Even in your older age you loved to run. Sadly, this is what took you away from us. But, you died doing what you loved.

I knew we wouldn't have you for much longer because you were getting quite old. But, not being able to properly say 'good-bye' hurts in itself.

I miss you, Teddy. And, I sure hope that heaven opens it's doors to our pets. Because I long to hold you forever more.

You've been a great part of our lives and the years of memories we shared, can never fade in the depth of time.

Now, I just wait for the pain to ease. And, the grief.

I miss you. I love you. Even as you 'Speak' no more.
