My dear Kodi Bones, how do I describe you to those who never had the chance to know you? My words will do you injustice as I would need to be a great poet to express who you were and what you did to me, your family and everyone who knew you.
You came into our lives only 9 years ago, do you remember that day we found each other. I knew then you were part of us, someone so special we were destined to be one. While
Daddy taught you things you in turn unconditionally taught us so many qualities also, a guiding light for my inner being .. my spirit .. my soul. You were such a wonderful puppy who grew into an amazing Dog. Kodi was a faithful and great companion, especially to JJ. He never asked for anything in return. He went everywhere with his Daddy *Jeremy* . Kodi we loved your noises and barking at other dogs and people whilst driving with us in the car. We laughed at your eagerness to jump in the truck/car recently the *jeeps*. We loved your patience, intelligence and your love for us. His favorite toy was a ball, ANY ball, we often commented on how addicted he was to his ball, we'd refer to it as "crack ball" *lol*. I'll never forget how much Kodi loved, and I mean loved the water, he was swimming in no time.
The world became a poorer place after 05/30/07 but our lives have been enriched forever, because he was part of our family for nine years. Bones you have given more than we could ever express and we could never thank you enough. You were not only adorable with that little inquisitive tilt of your head, but you were also understanding as you were always there for us in good times and bad times. When we were sad, you would filled our faces with kisses and when you were misbehaving you knew it meant time out as you would tip-toe and hide in your kennel till we'd say " Sorry Bones, come out Mommy and Daddy love you".
We miss you dearly! When we brought Kodi into our life, we began a journey — a journey that brought us more love and devotion from our pet than you have ever known, know it test's our strength and courage.
I come to realize, this journey has taught us many things, about life, about yourself, and most of all, about love. You will come away changed forever, for one soul cannot touch another without leaving its mark.....And that is what you have done Kodibones, you have forever left a mark upon our hearts.
I would like to thank DeAnna, who came into to Kodi's life most recently,thank you for being with Kodi in his final hour. Your a hero in my eyes. Your compassion and love for Jeremy and Kodi speaks volumes. Your efforts to reach his best friend for one last good-bye is truly touching. The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.
Kodi I'm so sorry mommy wasn't there for you in these last few years. It was with Daddy you needed to be, in my heart I knew it was the best place for you. You guys were the best of friends! Thank you for being loyal and giving your Dad unconditional love when he needed it the most.
I'm sorry for your loss Jeremy.
