Rascal-you were always a kind dog that loved and protected your family. I loved the way that you watched over the kids, the way that you greeted Daddy every night he came home-like you hadnt seen him in 20 years-how excited you got when Grandma came over, how you would snuggle with me and were always under my feet. I miss you so much my friend. You were the best dog that I ever met and you will always be in my heart. I am sorry that you had to suffer. I know that you left on your own terms when you were ready, but I wanst ready for you to go. I know I told you that it was okay to go, because I knew you were holding on for me, but I miss you so much, it hurts so much. I miss taking you for rides in the car, and playing with you. I loved the way that you snuggled with me a few days before you died, I know you were telling me that you were going to go. I love you Rascal...
