I can remember the very day we begged Dad to just go and "look" @ GSD. Mom and i had Been begging for years for a GSD When we got there you were the chubbiest one , and you walked right up to us. right there Mom and I were in love with you. We took you home and that first night you howled and cried from being alone, and dad was getting irritated you were keeping him up. So mom cleaned up your mess from spilling the food and water and I scooped you up into my arms and you slept with me. The only night you slept with any of us, you were always a warm sleeper. I enjoyed every second of every day with you. You were the love of our life. Spoiled rotten with treats and your favorite PIG EARS. You brought so much joy into our lives. When ever we would go camping, we loved to see you go swim and fetch the stick. I love to watch you try to show off to us that you could put your whole head under the water and pull out huge rocks. Mom always remembers when we went to New Melones lake and I taught you how to eat ravioli's from a spoon. You were such a good dog. the BEST dog. Although I now have my own family and my own dog, You have always been in my heart and have always been my # 1. You protected us from harm , but yet you were so gentle with Kayley an Jaydyn when they were Babies. You were worth every cent when you had to have expensive surgery. You were worth every "accident" in the house, although there were not that many. I enjoyed every kiss, every nudge for attention , every walk. I love to swim with you. As we splashed the water and we said "get it boo's" and you barked. Its funny how much dad love you too, even though he did not want to admit it. How I miss you more than you will ever though. The last time about a yr ago, I knew that was the last time I would probably see you again and I am sorry for not being there in your last mins. of life. I know you heard me on the phone as you were laying there waiting to got to the vet to be put to rest. Mom Misses you so much . Every morning when she got up and had her Coffee and she watched you walk around the yard, sniffing for new smells. Moving to the county with mom and dad was the best thing for you and gave you extra years of life. Although I missed you everyday. Do you remember when I used to call and leave messages on the answering machine for you?, because I knew you were in the house waiting for mom and dad to get home and you could hear me. I have so many stories and memories of you, I could go on forever. I love you more than I could ever express. My heart hurts and yearns to hear you "speak" to me . You will be greatly miss and No dog could ever compare to you!!! Ever. I know your in heaven where you will be pain free. I had 13 wonderful years with you and Mom, Dad , and I can not wait until we see you again. I love you Boo's!!
