I will never forget the day he was born. He had 9 bothers and sisters and he was the last one born. He was the runt. When the pups were old enough to eat puppy food, I would fix a big pan for them and go to the back door and holler "puppy, puppy, puppy" and they all came running with the little runt being the last one always. He would push his way through to get to the puppy chow and most of the time he ended up with all four paws in the food. The pups slowly left to their new homes but no one wanted the poor little runt. I didn't want another dog because I hadn't yet got over the loss of the pups father that I had just lost. I tried to find him a home, but as the days passed my heart melted and I knew I couldn't let him go. I named him Puppy because that is the only name he knew and I didn't want to confuse him. He was so smart. Ididn't have much training to do, because it was as if he already knew everything. He was always with me and I was so happy God had sent me this angel. I use to wonder what I did to deserve such a wonderful and loyal friend. He loved to play ball. When he was young he would crawl like an alligator to fetch the ball. If someone would visit he would find his ball and put it right at the visitors feet and stare at them till they picked it up and tossed it. If they waited to long to pick it up he would pick it up and put it in their lap and stare again. If that didn't work he would whine at them, tail wagging. He always won in the end they would throw the ball. My little Puppy (the runt) grew into a whopping 126 pounds. He slept in my bed every night (twin bed) with me and at times when I woke up I was almost falling out of bed and there he was head on my pillow snoreing in my ear. But you know what? I would have given him the whole bed if he wanted it. I loved him so much and everyone else did too. He gave me his love and it was unconditional. He was my angel and I miss him so much. He made me feel safe he gave me sunshine in the rain, he made me happy if I was sad, he was the most loving and loyal friend. We said  "see ya"on February 2, 2011, but not goodbye. I know he will be at the door of heaven, wagging his tail and then we will always be together my Puppy and me.
