Rocky

Please accept my deepest apologies. I could have sworn I replied to this, yet when I was looking through the thread, I couldn't find it. I'm so saddened about this :( So sorry it had to happen so close to Christmas. And I'm sorry I wasn't here for you when the pain was really fresh. Please contact me if you ever need to talk. It's been two years now since I lost Duke. I will tell you the pain does lessen but it takes a good while.

Hi my sweet boy,

It's Christmas and I miss you so much. :( I have to say the pain has gotten easier but I'll never be over losing you. It still hurts. I still love you so much even though you're gone physically. We have a new puppy that you and Jenny had a part in sending her to me and your family.

She will NEVER replace you or Jenny. She is a doll and a charming puppy just like you were but she has a naughty streak just like you did when you were a puppy! What's better than sending me a little black fuzzy version of your puppyhood? She is no lab, but she has the heart of one. She is bringing us so much joy just like you and Jenny did. You still do.

I just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Jenny too at the bridge and thank you for sending Dixie to us. Be good up there. I wish I could give you a big hug and I wish you were able to sit with me this year opening gifts. Thank you for being a huge part of my Christmas, and for that I will always love Christmas. :love: I love you sweet boy!!

Love,

your mom and family. :love:

Thank you, Annette. :)

Today December 14th you have been gone 2 years. I can't believe it's been that long. I was so blessed to have you for 12, wonderful years. Rather than focusing on your death, I focus on how much you loved life til the day you left us.

Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me and my family. You loved Christmas and unwrapping your presents. It was so hard losing you towards Christmas since you loved it so much. I do now focus on the good times, there were hardly any bad times with you.

You were such a good boy and we miss you so much. The pain is easier to deal with but you will always be in our hearts. Love you and miss you sweet boy. :love:
