I remember my Golden Girl, Tess as a loving, beautiful Golden Retriever.  She always brought a smile to our faces, i will miss her carrying around her teddy in her mouth, we will miss her doing her "grass dance" in the park, we will miss her swimming in the river and shaking all over us. She helped my Dad get through some tough times and was always there with us when times were hard.  She was a golden angel in our lives.  When the cancer took over your body and your face turned white with the pain, we knew it was time to let you go, we are sorry that mummy never got to say bye but on your last walk in the golden grass i told you that the angels would take you a walk in the clouds, you understood that my baby girl and we know you are in heaven watching over us.  We never wanted to see you in pain which is why we let you go when the cancer spread.  I still hear your paws tapping on the floor and reach for your soft ears in my dreams.  We look forward to the day we see you at the Rainbow Bridge.  We all miss you baby girl, things arent the same without you, Daddy will scatter your ashes in Arran, your favourite island in Scotland.  xxx
