Lars, you came to our family from Sweden on May 20, 2002. I can never forget picking you up at the airport and the first sweet little sound I heard from you to let me know you were there. Then bringing you home and thinking "What have I done?" I had Abby and was worried that it might be more than I could handle. Although Abby was much beloved, he was terribly jealous of you. Your mother was a Coton world champion and time bore out just how beautiful you also were both inside and out. After Abby transitioned on Dec. 25, 2014, we became very close. Your presence brought an incredible comfort upon losing Abby's companionship. Now, I no longer have your companionship. What I wouldn't have give for more quality time to spend with you. That last night that we were together, you used your paw to let me know that you needed to be hugged. I was unusually tired and simply placed my hand on top of your paw. The next morning you began having a seizure. I knew at that moment that our time together had come to an end. You made a few little whimpers and then you were gone. We drove to the animal hospital and as we were driving there and Tom held you in his arms, I had a distinct feeling of the heavens opening up. You were taken to a very beautiful place without suffering; you became part of the whole fabric of the world that our Creator is weaving with each one of us. I received a message to not be afraid and that it was all part of HIS plan. How my heart was breaking and it is really difficult to even sit here to write this without tears flowing uncontrollably. Images of your beautiful being flood my soul with solace. You were small but mighty in such a good way. I miss you so much and it was the incredible love and bond that existed between and among us that kept you going through the trauma of pancreatitis and subsequent kidney disease. As I write this, you would have turned 19 today had you survived. You are irreplaceable in my heart. I love you, my sweet, magnificent and wonderful Lars. The pain of losing you will stay with me until we meet again. Love to you, my sweet Baby - You were the very essence of love and goodness. Not one ounce of trouble - only joy and happiness did you bring to my life.
