Dear Otis, You are the first Puppy that I had the honor of caring for and I will never forget you. Thank you for changing my life. Your unconditional love and spirit helped awaken my compassion for all animals, and for that gift I will be forever grateful. You brought so much joy to our home and we all miss you terribly. I will cherish the memories of you sprinting through the yard, playing with your sister Bianca and brother Bucky and occasionally getting one of your "stingy" kisses on my nose. I will hold those memories (and so many more) in my heart until I see you...and we're a pack again. All of my Love, Papa

Merry Christmas 2016 At the bridge Oat! Mama loves you so much and I miss you everyday of my life. It's so hard without you at Christmastime, because you loved it so much. How can I forget you picking out your present from under the tree and opening it all by yourself every Christmas morning? BB sleeps under the tree in her bed now and it's because she misses you. We all miss you Oat. I wish, so much that you could be here. I would do anything to have you here with me. It's the worst thing ever that you were taken away too soon. This is the third Christmas without you and it is just as hard. It never has gotten easier for your mama Oat and you know how much I love you. I know that you were with me for my bday and auntie nic's bday and I hope you continue to visit me and send signs that you are here. The most important thing to me oat, is to be with you again and never have to leave you next time we are together. I miss and love you more than I can describe with words, but I know you understand, my boy. I hope you have a happy Christmas at Rainbow Bridge, Oat and I hope you will be with me here too. I love you so much and can't wait to see you again. Please wait for me my boy because I will be with you again one day. Merry Christmas my sweet angel. Love mama

Dear Oat, I can't believe it's been three years since you left us. The loss in our hearts has not diminished at all as the years have gone bye. I sometimes call Bucky Oat by accident because you are still always on my mind. I love you boy and know I will see you again soon. Love, Papa

Dear Otis, Happy B-day to the best boy ever! You'd be 17 today and we still can't believe that you left us too early, more that three years ago. If feels like yesterday that you were here with us and we all miss you so much. I know you are OK because you visited me in a dream. You are so energetic and healthy. I had fun running through the grass with you. Come see me again soon. Mama, BB and Bucky say hi too and love you very much. Karm too. She says thank you for sending us (mama) to rescue her. I love you birthday boy! Papa
