From daddy: Josie was one of a kind.  She was more than just a dog, she was our best friend.  All she wanted to do was please.  She loved being in water chasing a ball.  You would never find her more than a foot away from you lying down.

Josie, words can't say how much we love you and will miss you everyday. It is going to be hard but we know you are watching us and are still with us.

Geesie, this is your mommy speaking now. I can't believe you are gone. We are still in disbelief and our hearts ache more than you can imagine. It all happened so fast and I'm wondering how I will get through this pain. You were the light of our lives, our reason for living happily at times, you meant the world to us. Thank you for sleeping with me on the bed every night, never straying far from our sides, and pouring out your endless abundance of unconditional "Geese" love.

Geesie, from the moment we met you, you had a wisdom about you that made you wise beyond your years. I looked into your eyes and I didn't see a dog, but instead I saw a soul, like you were an angel guiding us though life. You were so perfect in so many ways that I told you, "Geesie, you're too perfect, you need to be a little bad like the rest of us sometimes!" and you just smiled.

I have a hole in my heart and I need you back, that's why I'm not doing too well right now, but Geesie, I know that's not what you would want from me. You would want me to be happy knowing that you had such a WONDERFUL life and you appreciated all of it, so that's what I'll do Geesie, I'll be happy for you.

Until we see each other again, you are in our thoughts every single day.

We love you Geese-Love!

Personal Notes

“I will lend to you for a while,
a Pup,” God said,
for you to love her while she lives
and mourn for her when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back,
take care of her for me.

She'll bring her charms to gladden you
and should her stay be brief,
you'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
and from the folk that crowd's life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love
nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.

I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.

Oh nine years old is too young. I know what you are going through, and I am so sad for your pain. I lost my dog (at age nine) in 2003. Everything seems to come to a complete stop. Your heart will ache and your throat will be sore. We only get to borrow these wonderful animals for a short time, and then they are gone. What incredible magic they bring into our lives... My thoughts are with you.

Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight. All is well, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. Condolences from Dublin Ireland on the loss of Josie.
