What a rough puppy you were. A playful one with really sharp teeth. Very enthusiastic about everything. After all, you were the daughter of an agility champion named Mitzi. One of eight beautiful puppies and I chose yellow girl, who was calm until we arrived home. You were amazing. You would fly through the air off the steps of the deck and always disliked the leash. Great without a leash with a miraculously remembering all obedience commands from your training classes. You did so well. You ran free and never left the property you more more interested in people than other dogs lol. You always looked for your Mommy and waited by the door for her to come home. In your elder years, your cataracts took most of your vision and your hearing went. Walking with a leash became a comfort. You lost a lot of weight, but not your beauty. Your labs came back just perfect, but your body had started to betray you. You took your meds like a champ. Your balance was bad and so we lined everywhere with pillows. It didn't stop you from being hurt. Last week, you really wrenched your leg and had to be carried outside when you needed to go. You stopped drinking. You stopped eating. You looked at us and told us what you needed. How am I going to live without you, my angel? I don't know. You are so loved and so terribly missed. 12/1/25 I am shattered without you...gutted...my darling. How do I live without you? Now I must remember you longer than I knew you. I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces all day through. I'll find you in the morning sun and when the day is through, I'll be looking at the moon, and I'll be seeing you.I love you so. Your Mommy 12/4/25 My darling angel Delilah. I am lost without you. I see you everywhere and then nowhere. How can I go on without you? We lived for each other. I can't stop crying. Please come back. Please. I love and miss you so.I still have all the pillows lined up and your food and water out. I sleep with your ashes and your cuddle clone, Cole, that I had made two years ago, knowing this day would come. I took a short walk from the garage the other day and it killed me to walk without you. I remembered the old war song, I'll walk alone because to tell you the truth I am lonely. I will take your leash when I walk. I love you so, my darling. I am getting my first tattoo on Wednesday of your paw print. I told you I would. I saw the little bird you sent the other day. Thank you, my bud dog. Forever and ever, your loving Mommy 12/5/2025 We picked up your engraved urn today and a photo to put in it. Missing you terribly. 12/6/25 My girl. Clydie is looking for you. He is a white and silver standard poodle, my boy. He will keep you near. I am so unhappy without you.... without all of you. I just heard the chimes ring. My PT gave them to me so whenever they ring, you are near. Oh, my darling girl. Delilah. Come to me. Your loving Mommy 12/14/25 I am sitting here writing to you as I am so sad. It's night time and I am going to sleep without you again, almost three weeks now. I am in pieces, my doggie. Tears wash over me like a tidal wave. Someone asked me if I had a dog. I had to say "no". I broke down in sobs. Oh Delilah. Guess what I did the other day. I did what I told you I would. I got a tattoo on my arm of your actual paw print. That is ink put on your skin with a needle and permanent. It is on the inside of my left arm and I will carry you with me always and forever.It is so lonely and empty here. Daddy and I talk about you all the time...we talk about all the things you did since the first day you came home to the last day you were home. I look at the moon and see you. Are you looking at it too and seeing me? I hope you are feeling well and can see perfectly and hear everything wonderful that's going on.God, Delilah. I found the white feather you sent me. I was so excited. I am going in my room now, where all the pillows are still down, and your food and water are waiting for you to come back to me. Your loving Mommy 12/24/25 Oh my Delilah. A month go at this time, we were at the vets and you were leaving me because you had to. Not because any of us wanted you to. My heart. My soul. Forever gone. The light in my life. Blown out. OMG. I am dying without you. I miss you so much the words haven't been invented yet. I scream your name when I am alone, hoping you will hear me. I have your collar around my wrist. I sleep with your urn and our stuffed doggie, Cole, who they made in your likeness. His muzzle feels like yours when I kiss it. I look at your pictures and videos every day. I am in such pain. I know you wouldn't want that, but it is what it is. The partnership has been dissolved by time. I am sorry my darling, for all the things we never did together and joyful for every moment we spent together over 14 and a half years. Not long enough by any stretch of the imagination.You weren't here for chanuka and won't be here for xmas.I screamed for you today when I got home. I looked through the glass door and you weren't there. I opened the door and you weren't there. What's it all supposed to mean now? Please send me a sign A month ago right now, you went away forever, and so much of me went with you, Bud Dog. Your loving Mommy forever Please also visit Clyde-Bailey and Zoe.
