You were a truly wonderful and loving friend, in fact, you were my best friend. You were there for me through happy times to share in the laughter and fun and also the bad times to lick away my tears. Your love was so unconditional and you loved me just for me. I got you when you were 6 years old and I lost you when you were 10 years old. I have sometimes thought that I was cheated out of something because I didn't have all of your life with you. But I realize that I am very, very lucky and fortunate to have been able to be a part of your life, knowing you and loving you. You weighed 13 lbs but the sound of your bark would have made people believe that you were 5 times your size. You were not afraid of much! I have seen you chase dogs 5 times your size out of "your" front yard. You were a blessing to me everyday! I never knew what to expect from you because you had such an outgoing personality before you became sick. You would often get irritated because I would love on you so much that you would flare your little teeth and growl just enough to let me know that you had had enough of the hugs and kisses for the time being. You were never unhappy and you never knew a stranger. Everyone that met you fell fully and totally in love with you, especially me. There will never be another thing in this world that could ever take your special, precious place in my heart. I know that you are my guardian angel and you know that I love you and I always will. You are with God now and you are free of the pain and hurt that your physical body caused you. You know I decided it was the right time because I saw you suffering and I knew that by letting you go you would be able to be at peace without the hurt or pain. I will never forget you by precious baby! Until we meet again Taylor, on that Rainbow Bridge, always remember that Mama loves you and you will always be with me in your special place inside my heart. All my love Baby T! Mama
