Beloved Duke is at RB...

[My Peanuts]

OMG!

I haven't been on PT much and I completely missed this. I'm so sorry Val. I'm sitting here at work in tears. I really don't know what to say. I will miss Duke very much even though I never physically met him.

RIP Duke

My Dearest Duke,
A month ago today, I was trying to deal with the fact that I had to let you go. Spent that Saturday just laying with you, stroking your fur, telling you it was alright, that I was there for you when you started coughing. If I could have stopped time that day, I would have. There was never a good time to let you go. My heart still misses you so very much. I'm crying again because of your absence. I know you must have led me to Dasher. He really needs me right now. He's going to help my heart heal and I hope he heals from his illness, as well. He was so very sad when I first saw him. He's like a different dog now since he's away from the kennels.Even if he doesn't make it through the treatments, he will know what it was like to be cherished. Know that I will always hold a place in my heart just for you. You were my heart dog, my furry soulmate. Part of me will always long to be with you and see you again. I know you don't want me to feel guilty about feeling some happiness. Just remember that you will always be loved and remembered by me. You took part of me with you when you left. Keep it safe until we meet again, sweet doggie. Mama misses you so much.

The LOVE that you feel for your DUKE, led you to Dasher~

That is how strong of a bond you actually had with him, and it will never, ever be severed~

Your love for Duke will grow and re-blossem over and over.

He still IS , your "Heart" Dog~ And when you look at Dasher, the love you feel for Duke is renewed, and shared once again. Only now, it's a Dasher Love!!! What a Gift, huh!!!

{{{HUGS}}} To You!!!

Know that I will always hold a place in my heart just for you.

I know all too well that guilty feeling of being happy with a new pup after losing one. Duke wouldn't want you to be alone Val. He would want you to have another dog to love and to keep you company. And yes there is a special place in your heart that will always belong to Duke. But our hearts are big enough to love another and give them a place in our hearts without giving up that special place for the other.
I know you must still be hurting so much for Duke. Please know I'm thinking of you. {hugs}

Mandy and Duke are looking down from the bridge and are relieved...they don't want you to suffer.


Duke, I was getting worried about your Mom...thank you for guiding her to Dasher.
