You came to us during a time in our lives when we were searching for anything to help fill a void that was in our souls and in our hearts. A small black and white ball of fur with the softest wettest tongue any creature on earth could possess. You brought with you an unconditional love a simple love a pure love that most people will never have the opportunity to experience. You were always there to comfort us when we needed it and you never asked for anything in return. You were our Cookie Doggie. What a character you were. What a dog. What a dog. You were so full of life so full of energy that keeping up with you was like chasing a whirlwind but we didn’t mind, you kept us at the top of our game and for that we will be forever grateful. The years went by too fast my friend. Just moments ago you were laying at the foot of the bed or resting behind the recliner. These were your places and only yours. In the morning when the sun was rising I could always count on you being at your place in the hay meadow. Watching the world come alive feeling the sun warm your face and enjoying the birth of a new day. I am so sorry that this day was your last and that I had to make the decision to end your suffering but when I looked into your eyes I knew, we both knew it was that time. You made a positive difference in our lives my friend and for that I will always be grateful to you. May your soul find the peace it deserves in Doggie Heaven and may those who have gone before us see and experience what a wonderful and playful soul they have been blessed with. Rest in Peace my Cookie Doggy. But don’t be sad. I know with all my heart that you, King, Burly, Tucker and I will all be reunited again someday and what a glorious and wonderful day that will be.
