I can't sleep because I'm missing you so much. I keep thinking about you and all the things that made me love you. I've ordered a charm in your memory. When I saw it, I knew it was the perfect thing. It's a rawhide like the ones you loved. Those were your favorite. You would have one in your mouth when I got home from work, ready to play. I loved to play keepaway with you and you loved it, too. No one else would play because of your fierce growls. I would hold it up and ask you if you wanted it. I would say "Tell mama" and you wanted it so bad you couldn't even bark, just open your mouth. Then you would let me chase you around the house with it. You'd get in play bow position and I'd try to get it away from you. After a few "tries", I'd say "Ok, it's yours" and you'd settle down and happily chew. I'll wear this charm forever, sweet Duke, to remember you. I love you and miss you so.
Please come see me any time you want. Send me reminders of you. And when the time is right, send me a special dog that you've chosen for me to help ease the pain. The house and my heart are so empty right now. I don't know how I'm going to live these next few months. Part of me died with you yesterday.
I just ordered your urn. I've had this site bookmarked for a few years now (www.adirondackpeturns.com) because they are so special. I cropped this pic. It's been one of my favorites.
I think it really shows your personality. One day soon, I'll take a trip to the dog beach to remember you.
I miss you
