I fell in love with you the first day I met you. Words cannot express the love, joy and happiness you brought into my life. You were a gift to me from God. My life feels so empty without you here. Life will never be the same without you. You were the love of my life. You warmed my heart everytime I looked at you.

I remember all the fun times we had in the pool. You, floating on the raft with your sunglasses on. Everyone always got such a kick out of you wearing those sunglasses. You were such a cutie. You never let us go swimming without you. You would bark until we got you and put you on the raft.

You loved going for rides in the car. We would take you for rides whenever we could. I remember one summer day in particular. It was the most beautiful summer day, the sun was shining, the warm wind was blowing, we took you for a ride to the beach. We let you run around by the water, you had such a great time. You loved it.

You also loved your special filet I would make for you. That was your favorite dinner.

You loved going for walks in our neighborhood and at the park. Remember the guy that used to talk to you in German because you were a hot dog? Everyone always commented on how cute you were.

Everytime we went to PetSmart, you would ride in the cart and stand up in the back of it and everyone in the store would smile at you.

I especially miss cuddling with you in bed at night. You would always snuggle up against me. I loved that. The first few months without you I could barely stay in our house. You were everywhere. Everything in our house reminded me of you. It was unbearable. I didn't know a person could be this sad. It's been just over one year and I still cry because I miss you so much. I would give anything to hold you again, but I know that's not possible until I come for you at Rainbow Bridge. When it's my time, I'll be there to get you and we'll be together again forever.

I love you and miss you more than words can say. You are with me everyday in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. Know that you will forever remain in my heart. My heart has a special place for you. Run and play and be happy my sweet boy. I love you Speedy and always will.
