Thank you so much for coming into my life and giving me many years of love and happiness. I have such a large hole in my heart now, I miss seeing your sweet face and your wonderful kisses. You can run free and play now my sweet boy until the day we will be together again, never to be apart. You are my angel. I love you so much.

Hello my sweet angel. I miss you so much, the bed is so empty without you by my side. I sleep each night with your blanket in my arms and I've put so many more pictures up. The pictures I took just a couple days before you left are so beautiful and you look so peaceful. I am taking my walks each morning at 6:00 just like we used to before you got so tired. Please run and play and let that sweet beagle nose smell all the new smells. Please remember you are in my heart and we will be together soon forever. I love you with all my heart.

Hello sweet boy. We've been apart one week now. I feel you walking with me each morning and that helps me to start the day. I light a candle for you each night to send you my love. I'm so lost my angel but as long as I know you're ok I can continue on this earth until I come to walk with you. I hope you have found your cousin Toby and the two of you play. Last Saturday and Sunday were so hard. I miss you so much. I have asked God to keep you close until he brings me to you. Good night sweetheart. I love you.
Mommy

Hello my angel. Today is Saturday and oh how I miss our weekends together. Even though they changed over the years. I will always hold close our many many walks in the park. Oh how you loved the smells and I loved watching you. I know you were too tired to go these past few months, but we still had our special weekends. Just being close to you was wonderful, just lying in the bed and watching movies. This week is Christmas my angel. The first Christmas in 14 years apart. Did I tell you, your picture is at the top of the tree just where such a special angel should be. I have so many special Christmas mornings to hold close this year. I'm trying so hard not to be so sad but it's really really hard. I have so many tears. Thank you thank you for being in my life and giving me such a beautiful love. Go and play now my sweet one, look for the candle light tonight as I send my love to you. I'll see you soon. I love you so

Good Morning sweet boy. Christmas is in a couple days and I miss you so. Baby boy please know that you are my world. Thank you so much for staying close, I feel you so often. I went Saturday and got a chain so now I wear your dog tags close to my heart. I hope you have found Austin, you remember the big sweet boxer. He came to the bridge yesterday. Let him know how to send his mommy his love. Show him all the special places you have found and the two of you play. You have a fun day and smell your new smells. I miss you angel and as always I promise to see you soon. I love you so very much.

Hello my angel. It's Christmas Eve and Mommy is so sad. I just can't seem to hold back my tears. I picked up your ashes today and they put them in a beautiful wood container. I know that's only your body in there, I know you're with me everyday. This is the first Christmas Eve in 14 years that we are not together so I will send you my love with the lighting of your candle. My heart is so heavy without you sweetheart. I miss your sweet face and I would give anything for just one more special kiss from you. You celebrate this wonderful night with your new friends baby. God must have more for me to do here but please keep looking for me. I promise you we will be together soon and you can show Mommy all your new places. Merry Christmas Rusty, I love you with all my heart.
Mommy

12/25/08
Merry Christmas my angel. Today was so hard. Hard to celebrate without your sweet face. Oh how I missed you opening your toys and looking for your treats. I so missed you sitting beside me as I made Christmas dinner. Oh baby this pain is so bad sometimes. At times nothing is right. Aunt Janie said that Toby is teaching you to sing. I can't wait to hear your beautiful voice. I'm so glad he found you and I hope you, Toby and Austin had a wonderful day as you got to celebrate the birth of Jesus with him. Austin's mommy came for dinner with her friend Chris. It's quiet now and I miss you so. Watch for your candle tonight as I send you my love. I so believe that God will bring us together soon my sweet boy. I love you so my dearest Rusty.
Mommy

12/29/08
Hello sweetheart. Today is Monday and somehow I made it through another weekend without you by my side. Getting up each morning is so hard but once I begin my walk I feel you close. Baby boy please always remember you are my world. You have a wonderful day today playing with your old friends as well as all the new ones you've made. Feel my kiss on your sweet beagle nose, go now and smell all your new smells. I'll see you tonight as I light your candle and send you all my love. Remember angel, everythings is ok, mommy has you. I love you so.
Mommy

12/31/08
Hi my sweet boy. I miss you so much my angel. It will be three weeks tomorrow morning and this pain is so bad. I want so much to hold you close. I hope you had lots of fun today playing with all your new friends. Tonight was my first night at the shelter. I got to play with the dogs for awhile. It's so sad baby, that people get a puppy then decide after awhile they no longer want them. These dogs have never known the love you have. I'm going to do this a couple nights a week for now. Mommy is so lost without you and I'm doing this in your memory. I love you so much sweet boy, going to light your candle now so I can send you my love. Keep watching for me baby, I'll see you soon. I ask God each night to hold you close until I come to be with you.
Mommy

Hello baby boy. It's raining this morning. Thank you for taking our walk, you always love to walk in the rain. I feel you so close when we walk. I'm really trying not to be so sad all the time but it's really hard. I can't find a reason for anything. Oh baby, I miss you so much. You will always be my world. I still sleep each night with your blanket in my arms, funny I wake each morning with it still there so I guess I never let it go. You have a wonderful day, play with Toby and Austin and all your new friends. Let your ears fly in the wind. Watch for your candle tonight as I send you all my love. Everything is ok baby, mommy has you and I'll see you soon. I love you with all my heart.
Mommy

Hello my sweet angel. It has now been 4 weeks since I've held you and seen your sweet face. Oh baby Mommy misses you so much. I want so much to hold you in my arms, to feel your sweet kisses. Mommy is so lost without, you made my life complete. Thank you so much for walking with me each morning, I can feel you there. I still have so many tears sweet boy. I want you to play each day with all your new friends and I hope you have now learned to sing with Toby. I know you're in a special place and you're waiting for Mommy. I promise baby we will be together soon and never be apart again. Look for your candle tonight as I send you all my love. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you soon. You are forever in my heart.

Hello my darling angel. Baby boy I want you to know that I am such a lucky human being to share such a wonderful love with you. Our years together here on earth gave Mommy so much love and happiness. I am trying to find my way without you by my side but my grief is so overwhelming sometimes. I do feel you with me so often and I will always hold you close in my heart. You are my world and I can't wait until I can hold you in my arms again. Everything is ok my love, mommy is holding you close and I promise we'll be together soon.

My dearest Rusty,
It's Saturday baby. Mommy is so lost on the weekends. Our weekends were so special sweet boy, how I loved each and every one we spent together. I so miss going to the park, seeing your ears fly in the wind in the car. Watching you smell all the new smells. I hope your sweet beagle nose has found wonderful smells at the bridge. I hope you run and play, I can see your ears flying. Sweetheart, I would give anything to see your sweet face and feel your wonderful kisses. Please keep walking with Mommy in the mornings and come curl up with Mommy each night. Play with your friends but keep one eye open for Mommy. I promise I'll be there soon and we'll never ever be apart again. I send you my love each night angel. Good night sweet boy, you are forever in my heart and I love you so.
Mommy

1/23/09
Hello my sweet boy. Oh my angel I want so much to hold you again. Mommy is still so lost. I'm really trying not to be so sad all the time. I have never know such a loss in my life, guess it's because I have know such a love. Baby, you gave Mommy such love, joy and happiness and for this I thank you with all my heart. You have a good day, run, play and smell your wonderful smells but please stop now and then to feel the love I send. Oh my darling I promise I will be with you soon. God will hold you close until he brings Mommy to you. I pray my work here on earth is finished soon. I love you angel with all my heart. See you soon.
Mommy

Hello my dearest Rusty. I so hope you are having a wonderful time. How did you like all the candles on Monday night? Bet they were beautiful. Please know baby boy that the special bond we share can and will never be broken. You are my world angel. Have a good day and come help Mommy tonight at the shelter. You have given me the strength to help these dogs who have never known the love you have. I love you with all my heart and hold you close each day. Go now and play baby and be sure to look for your candle tonight as I send you all my love. God will bring Mommy to you soon baby. See you soon, watch.
Mommy

Hi my angel. Mommy is having such a bad day. You always made everything ok no matter how bad things were. Just to walk in and see your sweet face was all I ever needed. Baby, I would give anything in this world to be able to see your face and hold you in my arms. I heard you got to go on your first trail ride with Toby and your new friend the Rusty pony. I know you had a wonderful time and Aunt Janie said she will show me the trail when I go to see her. I'm so glad you and Toby are close and now you have a pony to show you all sorts of new things. Aunt Janie loves them both very much, not sure which one told of the adventure. Thank you baby, just being able to talk with you helps so much. You probably get tired of hearing me all day long but it really helps me. Watch for your candle tonight as I send you all my love. Thank you so much for staying close. You are the most magnificent beagle and I love you with all my heart. See you soon.
Mommy

2/11/09
Good Morning my sweet boy. Today is two months since you left your tired body and went to the bridge. Oh baby, Mommy misses your sweet face and your wonderful kisses. I am so thankful you are staying so close, I feel you baby and I know you are helping Mommy each day. Without your help I don't think I could get up in the mornings. I thank God each night for all the years we got to spend here on earth together and for allowing me to share such a wonderful love. You are and always will be Mommy's sweet angel. I know you don't want Mommy to be sad anymore and I'm really trying but I have so many tears. You are free now Rusty, free of pain, free to run, play and smell your beagle smells. You will always have my heart and I promise I'll see you soon and we will never be apart again. God will watch over you until he brings me to you baby. My prayer for you is to have wonderful times and do the things you never got to do while on earth and to always know that our bond and love will always be. Go now my special, magnificent beagle and let your ears fly as you run. Please stay close and watch for your candle each night as I send you all my love. See you soon baby, watch....

Hello sweet boy,
Oh baby you should see the snow we have. How you used to love to run and play in it, your ears flying. Mommy thinks of all our good times so often. I know you had a hand in the little girl beagle I am fostering. I know you sent her to me to help and she is such a sweet girl. My pain is still so great baby and she does make me laugh. I would like to adopt her but I'm just not sure I can do it and she has some issues that need working on. She really crys alot and loud when I leave for work and you know that just can not be. As you know she has made herself right at home, even in the bed (which I'm sure you also had a hand in). I am so grateful for all the wonderful years we had together here on earth and you are truly my soul mate. Thank you also for staying so close and as always trying to help Mommy not be so sad. If you truly think Mommy should keep the little girl then I need your help with some of her issues, especially the crying when I leave. Maybe you could tell her that I'll always come back and her job is to watch the house while I'm gone. I will also tell her. I think she is very afraid of being left alone and I want her to understand if she stays she will never be alone again. Not going to the shelter tonight, just too much snow. Watch for your candle tonight as I send you all my love sweet boy. Remember, no one can ever break the bond we have, we will always be connected and one day soon Mommy will be there right beside you again. Go now and play with Toby and your friends, go on your adventures but please stay close to Mommy. I still need you so much. Please let me know about the little girl beagle. I love you with all my heart baby boy. I'll see you soon, watch......................

You took a big part of my heart that morning and that's ok, you hold it close until I come to walk with you. Rusty, you gave so much to me and you're still giving. For all that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You sent Daisy to me when I didn't know if I wanted to go on. I know Breeze is there now with you boys, Aunt Janie misses both her and Toby.

Good Morning my sweet angel. I saw the most beautiful rainbow yesterday evening. How wonderful to be able to see that each day. Baby, I miss you so much, I miss seeing your sweet face and feeling you beside me each night. I still sleep each night with your blanket in my arms and sometimes I feel the covers move and wonder if you're there. Oh how I hope. I know you're teaching Daisy and I thank you for that. She is such a good little girl and I do love her, but no one will ever take the place of you baby. You will always have my heart. I have so many pictures of you, everywhere I look I can see the most beautiful beagle boy. Go now my sweet one and play with your friends. Give Toby and Breeze a kiss from me and you guys take care of each other. Stay close sweetheart, hold my love close in your heart. I love you Rusty and I'll see you soon....watch.

Good Morning my sweet boy. Thank you so much for coming to visit the other night. I know you were there, I could feel you walking on the bed. Rusty, we are tied together for eternity through such a special bond. I am so thankful to have been able to spend almost 14 years with you here on earth. Soon we will be together, never to be apart again. My life here will never be the same, but I will continue until God brings me to your side once again. Please do all the wonderful things you are able to do now, sing with Toby, play tug with sticks, chase the bunnies and enjoy the trail rides. You are such a wonderful boy and you will always have my heart. Can you help a little with Daisy? She still is bad when ever she is left alone. Can you tell her that I will always come back and she doesn't need to worry or be upset when she is home alone. Tell her that her job is to watch the house while I'm gone. She doesn't seem to listen to me about that stuff. Go now my sweet one, have a great week, watch for your candle each night and hold Mommies love close in your heart. Please come visit when you can, I still need you so much. I love you with all my heart baby boy and I'll see you soon......watch.

Thank you for all you've given and continue to give. You are my world, my soul mate, my reason for being. So many wonderful memories and still so many tears. Please come visit when you can, I love you with all my heart. I had to delete so much so I could continue to write. Can't believe I wrote 10,000 words in only 6 months. Going to have to cut back on how often I write here but I'll always have your candle light ceremony each Monday night. Have a great time with Toby, Breeze and now Chey and Brandy. You have so many friends with you now and I know each of you are waiting for your someone special. I love you baby and I'll see you soon.........watch.

You are the light of my life sweet boy and I thank God each night for all the years we had together. I still sleep each night with your blanket in my arms, and light your candle each night before I go to bed. I so hope you hear me when I talk to you. Thank you baby for all you have given and continue to give and thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to visit. I know you're there in the bed, I can feel you walking.

Hello my precious angel. You've now been at the bridge for 10 months and there are no words to express the loss I still feel. The love we share, the bond we have and the strength you continue to give has allowed me to continue here on earth without you. Soon as I have finished what ever God has for me to do I will be there baby, to once again hold you close, to kiss your sweet nose and rub your soft ears. I hope you hear me each night as I continue to light your candle and talk to you. I will light it until your one year marker at the bridge, then I'll light it each month on the 11th. Know that you are my world, my life and my true soul mate. Thank you so much for visiting, it means so much to me. I know in my heart you are close and watching over me, I pray you know how much you are loved. Have a great month, have fun with all your friends and stay close to Toby. I think God took Toby first so you would have a big guy to watch over you and take you on great adventures. I am so grateful you chose me to be your human and I thank God each night for all the years we had together. Go now my sweet one, run, play, sing and smell your beagle smells. I'll see you soon baby, please watch for me. I love you with all my heart baby boy.
Mommy

11/11/09
Hello my darling Rusty. You've now been at the bridge for 11 months. Still so many tears baby. How my life has changed, can't believe I haven't seen your beautiful face in so long. Thank you so much for coming to visit last night, I know you were there, I could feel you walking on the bed. Oh my sweet boy how I pray you know how much you're loved and missed. You continue to give me so much and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am who I am today because of the wonderful love we share and the special bond we have. I know you're healthy and happy at the bridge and you have so many friends to play with. I hope you've taught Toby how to smell like a beagle and he has taught you how to sing. You must have a beautiful voice. I know in my heart that few humans know what we have and I thank God each night for allowing me to take care of such a truly wonderful angel for all those years. I want to thank you again for sending Daisy to me. She is a big part of my life now, she makes me laugh. I do love her but no one will ever take your place sweet boy and I'll never share that special bond. She will have a good life with me, you know she'll always be safe and happy. Go now my sweet one, watch for your candle each night as I send you my love and please continue to visit and let me know you're close. I promise I'll be there soon as God says my time here is finished and together we will cross the bridge. I love you with all my heart baby.
Mommy

12/11/09
My precious Rusty. This morning was a year that you left for the bridge. Still so many tears baby. I know in my heart my life will never be the same without you here with me. You will always be my world, my soul mate, my reason for being. I thank God each night for all the years we had together and for allowing me to know such a special love. The Christmas tree is up again and your picture sits at the top, just where an angel should be. I have slept with your blanket each and every night for the past year and have lit a candle for you. My sweet one, I know you're healthy and happy now and you have so many friends with you. Please go on great adventures with Toby, but try to visit Mommy when you can. I still need to know you're close. Our bond will never break baby, we will always be connected through the love we share. I'll be there soon baby and we'll never be apart again. Please watch for me. I love you with all my heart Rusty.
Mommy

12/24/09
Merry Christmas precious Rusty. May you and your friends be able to see all the beautiful lights, to feel the love of those still here and celebrate this season with God. This hole in my heart has not closed or been filled. I miss you so much baby and I sometimes wonder if the tears will ever stop. Because of you, I can go on and be the person I am today. You gave so much, taught me so much and I thank God for each and every day we were allowed to share. Because of you I'm able to love Daisy and give her a good home. Please know that our special bond will never break, that we'll always be connected by our love. Merry Christmas baby boy. I love you with all my heart.

You know, I have your pictures everywhere so no matter where I look I can see your beautiful face and those wonderful brown eyes. May God hold you close in the arms of his angels until I get there for you. I hold you close in my heart and wait until the day we'll be together forever. I still sleep with your blanket every night, somehow I feel close to you when it's beside me. Thank you my precious one for all you have given. Have a great month, go on adventures with Toby and play with all your friends. If you can, could you let Daisy know that she is not to pee in the house. She seems to be having a problem with that. I'll see you soon buddy, watch for me. I love you with all my heart.

Happy birthday my sweet boy. This week I've been remembering the first time I saw you and picked you from the litter. Iloved you so much that first day. I miss having you beside me so very much, still talk to you during the days, still sleep with your blanket. I see your face first thing each morning and last thing each night. I so hope you can hear me each night when I talk to you. I no longer have the words for how much I miss you. I do love little Daisy but she will never replace you. This special bond we share will keep us close until I come to walk with you and I'll be there soon baby. Until then hold my love close as I will hold you close in my heart. I love you baby with all my heart.

My precious Rusty, it's now been two years since you went to the bridge. There's not a day goes by that you're not in my thoughts many times. I still have such a large hole in my heart and still so many tears. You gave so much, you always made everything ok. I wish heaven had a window so I could see your beautiful face and watch you run and play. I'll hold tight the wonderful memories of our years together. You'll always be safe in my heart until I come for you. Know that you're my world, my rock, my reason for being. I love you my sweet one with every ounce of my being. I'll see you soon.

The Day God Took You Home......A million times I've needed you. A million times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you. You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone. Part of me went with you, the day God took you home. Still so many tears baby, still sleep with your blanket each night. Our love will hold us close until I come for you. Each day that passes is another day closer and once again I'll be able to look into your beautiful eyes. I love you sweet boy with all my heart.

My heart is still so shattered, I still have so many tears, I still sleep with your blanket and I still wear your dog tags each and every day. I smile when I think of our special times, our walks in the park, our adventures taken, our weekends shared just being together, and especially all the holiday where it was only you and me. You were always there and my heart and home is so empty without you. Baby, I feel you on the bed when you visit, please keep coming. I thank God for our years together. You taught me so much, you gave me so much. Because of what we share I was able to rescue Daisy and give you a good home. You are my rock, my reason, my world.

My precious Rusty the pain and sadness of your brother passing away has been so overwhelming. I pray each day that you are with him. My heart is completely shattered. When I lost you a huge part of my life was gone and when I lost my child everything was gone. I struggle to find meaning in anything. Please know that my love for you is and always will be a beautiful gift from God. I miss you every single day, I talk to you every single day and I still sleep with you blanket every night. Baby I hold you close in my heart until that beautiful amazing day comes and I can once again look into your beautiful eyes. I love you precious boy, please stay close, I need to feel you.

I'm so sorry I didn't send you a message yesterday. It was all I could do just to get through the day. I can't seem to find meaning or a reason in anything. I remember each and every Christmas we shared, I miss you my precious boy. Baby, this pain and sadness is overwhelming and I will never understand why I'm still here and my child is gone. He was a good man, he sure did love you. I pray you are with him. Rusty, you have give me so much and I am so thankful. I love you sweet boy and I promise someday soon I will once again see your face and look into your amazing eyes. I miss you every single day, I talk to you, I pray you know how much I love you.

Happy Birthday my precious boy.Do you remember the bones I would get for your birthdays. You sure loved them. I can't believe you came into this world 26 years ago today. I believe God sent you to me to teach me about unconditional love and you did. I am so grateful for each and every day I got to share with you. You brought so much joy into my life and made me smile. How I miss you sweet boy. Baby, Jesus will return soon and I will see you running towards me. Until that day comes, I send you love, hugs and kisses. I love you so much.

Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago. You were such a precious gift from God.. You taught me unconditional love, patience, and how to listen. I miss you every single day and know in my heart we will be together again. Because of you I was able to give Daisy the same kind of life you had. She will be joining you soon and I will be completely alone. I too am getting tired. My precious angel, I hope you are happy and waiting. I so long to look into those eyes again. Until then, run sweet boy and let your beagle ears fly. You are held close in my heart until I can hold you close in my arms. I love you so much baby, I hope to see you soon.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy. 27 years ago today you came into this world to live your life with only me. You brought so much joy, love and happiness to my life and I am so very grateful for our time together. How I miss seeing you in the chair as I pulled into the driveway, those beautiful eyes searching. I miss our Sunday afternoons in bed watching football or the race. I hope I gave back to you even a tiny bit of what you gave to me. I pray you are happy and waiting and I promise I will see you again. I believe with all my heart God intends for all the animals who shared a special love on earth to be reunited with their person in heaven. Can't wait to see you fun with your ears just a flying. Until then, I hold you close in my heart. You were my first, my sweet boy. I love you baby and I pray I see you soon.
