She was the most beautiful girl we had ever seen! We will never forget that summer day in 1998. Dad, Steph & I went to look for a new puppy. Stephanie took one look at you and thought you were the cutest little puppy she had ever seen and begged us to take you home. You looked right at Stephanie and in that instant you bonded with her on a level that I would not have believed possible. From that moment, and forever more, you were our precious Puddles/Cuddles. You truly became our best friend and you made us smile each and every day, with that cute little face and that tail/butt that never seemed to stop wagging. You were our little princess, always by our side, always ready to go for a car ride or a walk. The minute we would say those magic words, you would sit by the door and wait for us. You were practically inseparable from us. In the early morning, Dad would let you outside to do your thing, and then you would coming running to the bedroom to jump right back in bed with me. As the years went on, our love continued to grow. But the years were not as kind to you as they should have been, and you became ill. You were diagnosed with Renal Kidney failure on November 14th and your poor little body just couldn't do the things your heart still so wanted to do. You put up such a battle to comfort us, but in the end, it was so difficult for us to watch you struggle anymore. You kept on looking at me, as to try to tell me to let you go. You looked so sick, so tired, and so unhappy, and that sparkle in your eyes was fading so fast. Every good day you had encouraged us, but they got fewer and fewer, and we realized you were preparing to leave us. The look in your eyes on your last day told us you were ready to go, and it broke our hearts. The angels came calling and sadly, we did the last good thing we could do for you -- we gave you a hug, told you that we loved you and we let you go. I have to tell that even Augie gave you a kiss and said good-bye. He also misses you so much. He keeps looking around the house trying to find your smell and he is so incredibly sad that you are not around. Now your pain has ended, and ours is just beginning. You made our hearts smile every single day of your life, but now our hearts are so heavy carrying the loss of you. We have to believe that you are young and healthy again, running across the grass somewhere playing with Skeeter, eating an endless supply of food, and forever smiling. We hope that it's true that all of us will be together again, someday. Your Dad, Steph & I will mend, but we will never completely get over the loss of you. You gave us 9-1/2 wonderful years of unparalleled, unconditional love, and we wouldn't change a minute. We will always be thankful for the time you spent with us. Know that you will never be replaced in our home or in our hearts. We will be forever grateful that you picked us to be your family. We love you, Puddles! XOXOXO Puddles. I Love You!

Dec. 24, 2009 May 17, 2010 You've been gone for 2.5 years and I still can't get over losing you. I still look and listen for your bark. I miss being able to snuggle on the couch with you. When I come home from work I still look down the hall, waiting for you to run up to me and give me a big kiss. You were always so excited to see me. You took a piece of my heart with you. You were more than a "dog" to me, you were my baby. I pray you are looking down and know that I miss you soooo much. I know you're happy and not in any more pain now. You are running free with Skeeter and some day I'll see you again. I can feel your spirit here with me. I miss being able to walk with you, oh how you loved to go for your walks and chase the birds! There's not a time I go outside that I don't think about you. I planted a garden in memory of you and Skeeter and I spend a lot of time there. I miss you with all my heart. It hurts so much not having you with me. You may be gone but you're not forgotten. Happy Birthday, Princess. Lord, if you should ever tire of her, please send her back home to me. December 24, 2010 The garden I planted for you and Skeeter turned out beautiful. The flowers are a reminder every day how lucky I was to have you and Skeeter in my life, even if only for a short time. I hope you and Skeeter are playing together at Rainbows Bridge and remember, at Christmas I leave the lights on all night because it is a perfect time to reflect the brightness you brought into our lives. If you have a chance, please send us a sign. Merry Christmas Puddles & Skeeter! While your life on earth was short, you footprints in our hearts will last a lifetime. I will always love you!

Happy Birthday My Beautiful Baby! May the Lord continue to shine upon you. Until we meet again, I love you! December 24, 2013 My Dear Puddles, Wow, it has been five years since we last touched and laid eyes on eye other. Where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday I was watching you run and play and enjoying our many walks and while you may be gone you are not forgotten. My memories of you continue to be strong and everytime I see a butterfly, sunset or rainbow, I know you are sending me a sign. Your footprint is forever etched in my heart. Tonight I will again leave the light on show that you continue to shine big and bright. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer. If cookies are served in heaven Lord, then bake a few cookies for me - place them in front of Puddles and tell her they're from me. - Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her check and hold her for a while and let her know I'm thinking of her today. Merry Christmas Little Princess. I miss you!
Happy Birthday Sweet Baby! Today we remember you as we celebrate your special day, although we remember you each and every day. I think of you so often these days and all the wonderful memories you brought us. When I sit on the couch and watch TV, I am reminded of you, when a special commercial comes on, as you used to bark at the tv. Life seems to be passing by so quickly, but the days without you still remind me how much I miss you. So once again, I'm asking God to bring you a cake, place it in front of you and tell my Princess this cake is from me. Then gently reached down and give her a kiss for me and tell her how much I love her. Today is about remembering all the wonderful we hold deeply in our heart. May the Lord continue to shine upon you and may you continue to send us messages of love. Enjoy your special day and I hope you are sharing some cake with your brother, Skeeter. Please give him a hug and kiss from us as well. Until we meet again.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PUDDLES! May 17, 2014 Happy Birthday My Sweet Puddles! It has been so long since I last touched you or hugged you. Oh how I miss you! Today is a very special day, it is your birthday and we want to celebrate with you. So I went to Culver's and bought some ice cream and toasted my beautiful princess. You were an amazing dog and gave us so much love and laughter. I miss our walks, watching tv with you and our car rides, boy did you like to do all of that. I think of you every time I see a butterfly or an oriole. They remind me of your beauty. So today, I'm asking God again to bring you a cake, place it in front of you and tell my Princess this cake is from me. Then gently reach down and give you a kiss from me and tell you how much I love and miss you. Then I want you to turn to Skeeter and give him a big wet kiss and tell him how much we miss his as well. Until we meet again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET PRINCESS!
My Dearest Puddles, Wow, time flies. It has been seven years that you left us to go to Rainbow's Bride and I still think of you so often. I know that you are free of pain and running around with Skeeter, Gracie and all the other fur babies in heaven. I still think of the day we brought this little puppy filled with joy and happiness into our home. You gave us so much love and so many wonderful memories that we could never forget you. What a year it has been filled with so much happiness and yes, some sadness. Our Gracie Mae has joined you in heaven and what a shock that has been. Like you, I tried everything I could to save her and I guess God needed her a little more, so I have my three little angels in heaven looking after me. I hope you all know how much I love and miss you. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer. If cookies are served in heaven Lord, then bake a few cookies for me - place them in front of Puddles and tell her they're from me. - Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her check and hold her for a while and let her know I'm thinking of her today. Merry Christmas Little Princess. I miss you! P.S. Please be sure to share your cookies and love with Skeeter & Gracie as well. Until we meet again, Merry Christmas! My Dearest Puddles, Another year has gone by without you and oh the memories I hold so near and dear of you. Such a sweet, beautiful princess you were. What I really miss is our walks and talks. You were always walking in my shadow and loved to see all the nature around you. We were so lucky to have had you for the nine and half years we did. I will never forget you, Gracie or Skeeter. A piece of my heart went with you the day you left. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer. If cookies are served in heaven Lord, then bake a few cookies for me - place them in front of Puddles and tell her they're from me. - Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her check and hold her for a while and let her know I'm thinking of her today. Merry Christmas Little Princess. I miss you! May 17, 2017 Dear Dearest Puddles, They say time heals all wounds, but sometimes our hearts are left with a piece missing from the ones that touched us so much. Today we celebrate your birthday and the many memories you brought to us. It seems so long ago that I last touched you and kissed you. Life sure has changed so much. Auggie is still around, blind but making our lives enjoyable each and every day. We have a new little one named Remi and she keeps us on our toes, and of course who could forget Ry Ry. Sometimes I'm not sure about him. As I reflect on your short time with us, I am grateful for the love and joy you brought into our lives and I will never forget you. Until we meet again, Happy Birthday, Puddles. May God provide you with special blessings today, a cake and a special kiss from me. I miss you, baby! December 24, 2017 My Little Princess, Wow, hard to believe you've been gone for 10 years today. Oh my, where has that time gone. I still can remember the first day we brought you home. You were so sweet and quiet and just wanted to be loved. Walking you each and every day was such a pleasure as you would walk right next to me without a leash. Such a fantastic dog you were and will always be. You brought so much joy and happiness into our lives and for that, I will always be grateful. Y Wishing you, Skeeter & Gracie a very Merry Christmas. Please know how much I miss all of you and your pawprints are forever etched on my heart. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer.

Merry Christmas Little Princess. I miss you and will always love you! December 24, 2018 My Little Princess, Life sure has a way of flying bye, but one thing is for sure, no matter how much time has passed, I still miss you. Such an angel you were, full of life and love. We were so blessed to have you for those 10 years and our memories are held deep within our heart. As I walk the other dogs, a breeze will blow in my face or a leaf with land right next to me reminding me that you are never far away. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer.

I cannot tell you how much joy and happiness you brought us in your short time on earth and those memories are what gets us thru each and every day. You had such a way to get everyone to pay attention to you. Puddles, we loved you yesterday, today and tomorrow and will until the day we are re-united. Happy Birthday, Puddles!
Until we meet again, Mom My Beautiful Princess, Oh my, you have been gone far too long! You left us this day 13 years ago and our hearts were broken. So many changes have occurred. Our grandchildren are getting so big. You would love them so much. They are so darn adorable. We still have Ry Ry & Remi and oh are they barkers. Wishing you could send them some rules on manners. Auggie is in heaven with you and that was so hard to say good-bye. He was such a good doggie. Please give Skeeter, Gracie & Puddles a hug for me and tell them how much I love and miss them. Every time I go for a walk and catch a breeze blowing in my face, tears of happiness flood my face, thinking of you. Once again, I ask God for a special prayer. If cookies are served in heaven Lord, then bake a few cookies for me - place them in front of Puddles, Skeeter, Gracie & Auggie and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love them and miss them all so much, and when turns to smile, place a kiss upon all their cheeks and hold them for a while. Let her them I'm thinking of them today. Merry Christmas my sweet baby. I love you forever more. Love,
As I reflect on this day, the anniversary of your departure, I'm overwhelmed with the memories of the joy and warmth you brought into our lives. Though you left us years ago, the love we shared remains etched in our hearts, undiminished by the passage of time. Your wagging tail, the soft sound of your paws, and the unconditional love you gave us are cherished moments that we hold close. Even though you're no longer physically with us, your spirit lingers in the corners of our home and in the echoes of laughter that your presence once filled. Today is a bittersweet reminder of the day you crossed the rainbow bridge, but it's also a celebration of the love that continues to endure. You are gone, but never forgotten, dear Puddles. Your paw prints are forever imprinted on our hearts, and we find comfort in knowing that you are in a place where joy and peace abound. Thank you for being our loyal companion and for gracing our lives with your furry warmth. Until we meet again, run free, sweet Puddles. With love always, |
