Love Letter To Your Dog(s)

[Jods]

My beautiful golden boy.
We got you about 4 yrs ago. My mom and I were looking for a golden retriever a male. But my mom being silly I thought. She only wanted to spend $200. Well we were at super pet when we saw the sign it was a sign male golden retrievers $200. Well what a coicidence mom had just taken 200$ exactly out of the bank wierd eh? and we came right then to get you. The breeder not a good one I might add had you waiting in the house you were already 5 months old... You and your brothers were not socialized very well and were very timid babies... But we brought you home a big huge bundle of fur... You weren't the most playful puppy I ever saw but you were my bundle of joy... You became more trusting with our family and more playful as well.. right before I wrote this we were having our morning wrestle on my bed where I was trying to get more sleep. But I loved it you were telling me it was time to get up it was daylight and once your up your not supposed to go back to bed... You've grown into a beautiful dog. You are soo calm and sweet your new baby sis kitty loves you and doesn't mean to bite your wagging tail, I know you don't like this and you take yourself into bed cuz she's bugging you, I only wish you were socialized more you would love all the other animals and all people. You are wonderful and I will save all my cheeseies (sp) for you.
(your favorite treat) Love you.

(Ugh.. it has taken me almost an hour to write this... I had to keep stopping myself because I am at work and could not stop crying!!!!)

Sierra,
I just want to tell you how much I love you. You are my little Princess, my dear sweet sweet princess. How could I wake up in the morning with out you curled up at my feet? How could I ever go on with out your wonderful songs and your mesmerizing eyes? Who in the world would let a beautiful girl like you go?
We both have the German Shepherd Rescue to thank for getting you out of the shelter in the nick of time.
They got you out of there and got you to where you belong… in my arms and my heart forever. Your silly antics always put a smile on my face. When you and your brother ran away that cold day in December, I thought for sure my world had come to an end, without you two, I have nothing left. But I never gave up; I knew when I got so tired I could not walk anymore…. I knew God would hold you and Bud in his arms and keep you safe until morning when I could find you. And that’s what happened. My prayers were answered! (Just please don’t do it again!) I need to thank you for being a wonderful big sister to Buddy. We all know he’s a little on the goofy side, but that’s why neither of us can live with out him. I’m asking you again to talk to your brother, please let him know he does not need to be afraid of Daddy. Daddy is not going to hurt him. Please talk to him for me sweetie.
You will forever be my sweet princess… until the end of time.

Buddy,
Where do I start?? You are my everything…. It’s hard to even put it into words. You are my love, my light, my savior, protector, you are my guardian angel handed to me straight from God himself. I wake up every morning to you standing next to my bed, with your head resting on my pillow, and your beautiful brown eyes looking at me waiting for me to wake up. All you need to see is one eye open, then I get my morning share of kisses!! You are such a wonderful boy Buddy! I am very proud of you!
Buddy, I know saving you from the shelter just days before your time was up was enough to change your life forever, and I know how happy you are and how thankful you are. But I still can not help but to think of what the fist year of your life was like…. How long were you in the woods? Why would someone not go looking for a beautiful dog like you? I’m sure you were afraid… but Buddy my love, you never have to be afraid of anything for the rest of your sweet life with me. I am here, and as much as you love to protect me, I’m here to protect you as well! Daddy is too, you just have to let him!!
When you and sissy ran away, you didn’t want to go did you?? Because I KNOW you don’t leave the yard if the gate is left open… did you see her running away and knew you had to go with her to make sure she was safe? Or am I thinking too much into it, and you were just being a naughty boy? No matter, thank you for not leaving her side, and keeping her warm, that night it got down to 9 degrees!!! I was so afraid for you two, thinking that I would never get to hold you in my arms again… never get to look into those eyes… never get “Buddy Nudges� again…. But God was on our side that night!

Kids, something that I pray for… is that when it’s time for you to go, please let me know you are ready. I will hold you in my arms; you will have nothing to be afraid of. You’ll drift off to sleep in my arms, and wake up at RB. Don’t be sad because I’m not there, it’s only temporary, before you know it, I’ll be there looking for you, and then we’ll live happily ever after.

Never forget mommy and daddy loves you!

pitc9, that was beautiful. *Tears*

[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.

[luvofallhorses]

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
