My special little angle bear. I have so much to say and all I can do is cry. How I dreaded this day for the longest time and bam, it hit me so hard in the face it caught me off guard. I have so many wonderful memories of you. You were the smartest dog I ever met. I remember it took me the longest time to figure out that it was you who had been opening the refrigerator door and helping yourself to everything in the fridge. And here I was blaming the family for leaving it open, when it was you the entire time. Imagine that! On the rare occasions when you stayed behind at home, I would look forward to you greeting us at the door with your little stuffed toy in your mouth doing your little happy dance and singing. Your little nub nub going wiggle waggles so fast. I can't believe you are gone! And here I go crying all over again. Another wonderful memory was our first get away together over Memorial weekend. I only had you for three months at the time but it stuck with me. We went to the ocean along with Diablo, your partner in crime, and took you guys to a secluded beach so you can run around off your leashes. There was a guy walking by himself about a quarter mile away minding his own business and when he got to about two blocks from within view, both you and Diablo took off after this guy as if you were shot out of a cannon. I'm screaming running toward you two while you guys are going full speed ahead. You can't hear me as the ocean behind me is roaring. I'm waving my arms around like a maniac. Both of you catch up to the guy and start circling him jumping up and thankfully not on him. Finally I get your attention with some treats. And strangely enough this man kept calm and never said a word. But I'm sure his draws got full. While I swiftly got you two loaded up in the Bronco and headed out of Dodge. At the same time you were so gentle. You graciously accepted Kali when we added her to our family; or better word would be "tolerated". And when she had pups you helped her with them and accepted them all. The three we kept turned out to be hooligans but you played with them and put them in their place which seemed to be quite often. While you were in Search and Rescue, you saved many lives. You knew all your commands and we'd practice them over and over again and you were such a Super Trooper. Never got lazy or side tracked. You were extremely smart. As the years passed and you got older, you needed help with the steps. Dad even redid the porch steps so they weren't quite so high for you. But you were so determined to walk on your own. Even after your right hind leg and hip joint socket was completely worn out. Your vet always referred to you as a miracle. And we were so blessed to have had you for as long as we did. Thinking back on all the memories brings a smile to my face. Your cute little quick short bark when you needed help up the stairs. ElizzaBear, I miss you so. The love I have for you it fills up my heart. Everywhere I look, I see you, I smell you, and I hear you. You always had the freshest scent to you and your fur was so soft. You were the bright sunshine of my life and a true angel sent from Heaven above. And now you really are an angel in Heaven. What is helping me through all this is I remember what your dad said; "Don't look at it as a bad thing but looking at it as another part of the journey through life. You'll be with people that love you and you can run and be happy and healthy again". I'm sure Nagy mama and Nagy papa and Nicc, along with Diablo and Ian were all there to great you. I know in my heart that we will meet again and be a family again. I'm sure you are running in some meadow having a blast. Heaven only knows how much I miss you. Heaven just became a better place by having you there and the world as we all know it just got worse for losing you. You'll always be in my heart Elizza, my sweet little Princess Bear. Everything we went through in life together, the good and the not so good, you were always there for me. And if I had the chance to change anything I wouldn't change a thing, except for more time with you. I love you my little Sunshine Bear. You know, I have gotten up twice now to wash your bedding, but then I catch a whiff of you and I just can't do it. Maybe later, but definitely not now. No matter how old you get, you'll always be my little young lady. I love you more then words could ever say. You'll always be in my heart and go with me where ever I go. You are the love of my life, the joy in my heart, and the summer sunshine in my soul. We'll forever love you. Please also visit Diablo Rudolph and Kali Ann.
