Love Letter To Your Dog(s)

[dukedogsmom]

Now you've got me crying at work! I would have never been able to write mine at work. I hope Kay and some others eventually write their's, too.

[Kfamr]

When i'm more awake and "in it" I will. I'm out of it today. School makes me that way.


One of the poems I wrote for Simba, my friend said if he didn't know better I was talking about a human that I was in love with.

[cloverfdx]

I look forward to reading them when you get the letters up Kay.

Come on everyone .

[cloverfdx]

No-one else ? .

[robinh]

I'll write mine and put it on later today. Having trouble writing it. Can't keep all the emotions together.

Dearest Simba~

To some you're "just a dog" to me, you're my everything.

I remember, 6 or so years ago, the very day we got you. You were 8 months old and the ONLY dog lying down, calm as a clam, just staring up at us with those stunning eyes. You were skiddish with new people, but took to dad and I right away.

In the adoption office at the SPCA, we sat there together while dad filled out papers to make you ours. I sat there going through names, and deciding a birthday for you. Your birthday was made Christmas, so your name was either Rudolph or Simba.
We brought you to Pets Mart on the way home, the whole time you walked closely by my side with your tail between your legs.


When we got home, I walked you inside and asked mom "What should we name him?" She quickly said "Outside damnit"
After a short intro to mom, I let you off your leash and went back to the truck to get your new things. You tried to follow me, but I said no. Boy did I regret that. I heard mom scream, and you bark. You bit mommy, you were scared, and it was my fault. I should have never left you alone and I apologize.

Later that day, mom tried to make friends with you by picking up your rawhide. You went after her and bit her again. She became terrified of you... and I became terrified as well. As quickly as I got my dream come true, my first dog, I thought it was going to be taken away.

I was wrong again. We worked things out with you.

For a while, daddy and mommy said "No dogs on the furniture"
I think we can laugh together now because it didn't take long for you to wrap us around your little paws and have us begging for you to jump up and share a seat with us.

Being my first dog, I wasn't sure just what to do, but obviously i've done something right. You never stop amazing me each and every day. Whether it's learning yet another trick or command or being highly patient and tolerable with new people.
I remember the days when you wouldn't even let someone walk past the house without it be known that you were there. But now, you welcome in friends and family but deny foe.

Sometimes I feel as if I betrayed you by getting you two baby sisters that pester you beyond belief. I wish you could talk to me and tell me how you honestly feel, because it would make me feel alot better. But, seeing you play and romp around with them makes me feel more proud than a mother with a newborn child.

You're getting up there in age boy, and ever so handsome. To think i've had you since you were 8 months old amazes me. Time really does fly when you're having fun.

As everyone knows, being a teenager isn't easy to say the least. You've made me the happiest any teenager could ever be, and because of you, I do not think any (responsible) child should be without a dog. I've often referred to you as my never-ending box of tissues, and besides "amazing" there's nothing more perfect to describe you as.

There's no man in this world who could make me happier, there's no amount of money which would make me feel richer, there's no person who could make me feel as important... as you do, Simba.

To say I Love You with all of my heart would be factual, but honestly not enough. I love you with all of my being, my soul, my life.


I never want to lose you, I never ever want to forget you.
You're truely the dog of a life time.. in which nothing, no one, not anything could compare.

In every bit of sincerity
-- Your teary-eyed slave.

[LuckiLab03]

wow, Kay.. that was beautiful..

[cloverfdx]

Oh Kay you have got me all teary eyed aswell now, that is beautiful.

[manda_moo87]

...very beautiful *sobs* lol

[dukedogsmom]

Alright, I'm bumping this up for all the new people. I thought you would enjoy reading our letters and maybe even write your own.

Dearest Jenny,

When I first saw you it was love at first site. How small you were and you grew so fast You are my everything. You are so beautiful even though some think you're not It doesn't matter what others think of you, I love you no matter what. It matters what I think of you and you are my shining star. I would be lost without you. When you get loose out in the street, how you love to run, I think I'll lose you and some idiot will hit you with their car. I always find you and I know we're meant to be. If you did get hurt, I don't know what I'd do. I don't think I could go on. I love you with ALL my heart, baby girl.

Love,

Mommy

Dearest Finn -

I know how much you have to do, being a labrador and all, so, I'll try to keep this short. I remember that you were the only dark yellow in the bunch, and, the first I'd ever seen of that color. It was chilly, and, I held you close to me, pulling my sweatshirt up over your tiny body. You fell asleep in my arms, and, I fell in love. I knew you were right for me and that I was right for you. A stranger summed it up when she said that we looked alike! She must have just meant that we looked like we both were missing the same thing...eachother. And, she couldn't have been more right.

You have been my constant, ever laughing, strong companion since the day we met. You've already been with me through five homes (I promise one day I'll settle down!), and, have traveled far, without a complaint or hitch. I know that no other creature will ever replace my Bruno, as my heart still aches to see his sweet face. But, you have filled my soul and life with such energy, such love, such spirit, I know, even after only sixteen months, that no matter who I meet in my life or the next, no will ever compare to you. I love you, Huckleberry.

Always......Kari

[finn's mom]

everyone's letters are so sweet, I've gone and read most of them. i think this thread was a great idea, and, thank you val, for bumping it back up!

Shadow,
I never dreamed of owning a dog as special as you, I remember the day that you were born, Aunt DeAnna called in the middle of the night and said that you would be arriving soon. I had no idea that 8 weeks later she would surprise me with you. I was gone at camp but suddenly had to come home, in the driveway you sat. I was very confused and it had not yet set in that you were mine, I had no idea but I am very very glad that she decided not to keep you. You were such a sweet little girl, mom did daycare and you put up with all the pulling of your ears and being used as a pillow. When you were little mom was afraid to buy you toys because she thought you would ruin all of our stuffed animals, well remember the day I brought home that purple dinosaur for you? You carried that thing everywhere and was so gentle with it. Soon you had a whole toy box of toys and never once touched one of ours. I would take you for walks and get funny looks from people, you had gotten so big and I was a 6 year old kid. People would slow down and ask whos walking who! You are now 10 years old, you have been a huge part of my life and I love you more than anything in the world. I know we kind of got carried away and added a few more members to the family within the last three years but you are so special and I try to show you everyday what you mean to me. I love how you dance around and go under peoples legs, we know that it is your way of giving us hugs but some people are affended by it. I love to wrap my arms around you, sometimes if we say "Aww" you will gently growl back, people sometimes think you are big and scary but I know that you would never hurt a fly (well maybe a fly, but unintenionally) Oh, and the big dog that wasn't allowed on the furniture, you busted that rule really quick. You always slept on the foot of my bed, you started to get bigger and bigger and so did I, but the bed seemed to shrink! You would just stay long enough for me to fall asleep then you would retire to the cool basement. Oh and so many good times we shared! Shadow, I love you more than anything and I hope we have many more wonderful years to come!
Love ya lots,
Ashley
