When we moved into this house I'll never forget how you were looking for me and couldn't find me because I was upstairs. I remember how you peeked up and saw me and how happy you were to find me. Then you trotted up the stairs with your little short legs and kissed me to death. The happines and joy in your eyes I'll never forget.

And the snow. How you loved to play in the snow and stick your nose in it. And guess what, it's snowing now. I know you wish you were here and we were out playing in it together. I do Missy. But Missy you're not in pain anymore. The cancer and arthritis were wracking your body. You couldn't see, couldn't hear and could barely walk. When I came home lunchtime yesterday to check on you, you couldn't get up and I knew the time was coming. I didn't want to see you suffer anymore because I loved you and always will.

Missy I don't know how to grieve for you. We tried our best to keep you with us just a little bit longer. But we knew you were suffering and it was time. All I know is I have this deep pain in my heart tonight, an emptiness. Benton is wondering where you are. The house is so empty and quiet without you here. I just wish I could hear that squeak squeak of your soccer ball and I'd know you were here.

We love you and please don't forget us. I can't wait for the day when we can meet again. I'll see you at the bridge. I hope that all your pain is gone now and you can see again and hear again. I hope you're playing with your soccer ball and frisbee. Lamb Chop is going to be with you until we get there. You are not alone.

It's March 20th and only been 5 days since you left us. Missy you have no idea how much I miss you and I need you. Everyplace I turn reminds me of you, which is not bad, but I wish you were here. I know you're in a better place, frolicking and playing with all the other dogs at the Bridge. Maybe I'm being selfish, but I'd give anything in the world to have you back with me so I can hold you and cuddle with you. You're mommy is so lonely without you. I love you Missy.

Welcome home baby doll. Your ashes finally came yesterday. I know it's only a piece of you but it's better than this emptiness I have inside for you.

It's Easter Sunday and the first holiday without you. I know if you were here you'd be opening up your Easter presents. But I know you're in a better place. I miss you so much baby doll.

It's been 3 months Missy and the pain in my heart is still so real. You have no idea how much I miss you and your spunk and vigor even though you were blind and death. They'll never be another Missy. Mother's Day, Father's Day came and the emptiness inside is so unreal. I wanted to let you know that I gave Papa Head presents from you for Father's Day in your memory. I miss you so much baby doll.

It's my birthday, July 16th. It should be a happy day but I'm so sad Missy. I wish so much that you were with me and helping me to open my packages. I miss you so much baby doll and not a day goes by that I don't think of you.

Another holiday has come and gone Missy. We did the "holiday" thing and I know that if you were here you'd be celebrating with us. But once again this lonliness inside. I miss you so much baby doll.

Not a day goes by that when I come here I don't fill up with tears in my eyes. I don't know when the hurt will stop but I miss you so much baby doll. October 6th you would have been 16 years old. You gave me 15 1/2 wonderful years Missy and I'll never, ever forget you.

Happy Turkey Day baby doll. I know how you loved this day and if you were here you'd be following me around and checking out the turkey every time I did. We watched Santa Paws on TV and put your picture in front of the TV to watch him come. Christmas won't be the same without you Missy. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and how I wish we were together again. I love you baby doll. And Papa Head said to tell you how much he misses his little girl.

Christmas has come and gone Missy and you have no idea how much I missed you during the holidays. I always remember how Christmas morning you were like a little kid waiting to get in the family room to open your packages, and everyone else's too :). It was so empty this year but you were in my heart. We put your picture and ashes under the tree so you could be with us. I don't know when I'll ever stop hurting Missy. I just want you to know that you're always in my heart.

I year has gone by my sweet baby girl and I haven't forgotten you and never will. I wish you could have stayed with us forever but I know it was time. Spring is coming and I miss you even more knowing that we'd be out in the yard playing frisbee together. I miss you Missy, and please don't forget me.

It's Labor Day Missy and the unofficial end of summer. It's been a long summer and not a day goes by I don't think of you. You're picture is still on my key chain and on my desk. And of course, you'll always be in my heart.

Happy Birthday baby doll. It's the 2nd year without you here for your birthday. I wish you were still here with me. I wanted so bad to go out and buy you packages so you could open them. Now there's just emptiness. Please don't forget me Missy because I'll never forget you.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of you baby doll. I miss you so much. Spring is here and I know if you were here we'd be in the yard playing frisbee. You're always in my heart Missy.

Three years ago today I lost my sweet little girl. Things have changed so much Missy since you've been gone, the most being I feel such an emptiness inside. I'd give anything to have you back here with me but that's being selfish. I know when my days here on earth are over that we'll meet again, of that I'm sure. Please know that I miss you and when we meet again, it will bring so much joy to me Missy. I love you baby doll, please don't feel alone.

Hi baby doll. I hope you've been able to find Benton. I just had to put him to sleep. Please find him, show him around and please let him know that I love him, as I do you. I don't know what I'm going to do without him. You were my baby doll, he was my buddy.

Happy Easter baby doll. I hope you and Benton have found each other. Please take care of him and help him understand that I loved him as I always have you. You both were very special pets and will always hold a special place in my heart.

Today is Benton's birthday. I hope you two are enjoying his day. I miss you Missy. I always said there will be another "Missy" and there won't. Please wait for me. I can't wait for the day we all meet up again. It's so hard for me right now with neither of your here. I love you Missy.

Hi baby doll. I just wanted to say how much I miss you and I love you. I hope you and Benton are together and enjoying your time together just like when you were here on earth. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you both. I still have your picture and Benton's in my cubicle and always will. I love you both and miss you both so much.

It's been 4 years today that I lost you Missy. I wish so much you were still here. Spring is coming and I'd like nothing more than to be going for walks with you or playing frisbee in the yard. I love you baby doll and you're always in my heart.

I come here everyday Missy and talk to you. It's getting warmer out and I think of all the good times we had outside in the yard. Today marks 6 years since you went to the bridge but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I love you baby doll and always will.
