This has been one of the most traumatizing and agonizing week....God gained a little puppy angel today. We love you so much Taffy and miss you so. You left us for puppy heaven and imprinted your paws in our hearts. Thank you for all the amazing memories. We only had you for a short time but it feels like you were always with us....part of our family. We wish we could have spent more special times with you and that you could have been with us for many more years. Now you can feel better and run like a bullet. Our hearts are broken. We love you now and always. You will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace Taffy Girl....my little Taffyna. <span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span> Mom & Dad

Dear little Taffy, When I first met you in September you immediately jumped into our lives and showed us love and affection. Unfortunately, I wasn't the same way. Looking back now, I was fearful of being attached to another dog and scared that this day would come. Today, we lost you to kidney disease which we only found out about a couple of days ago. Each and every day I wish I never complained and gave you a chance. It wasn't until a couple of months ago that we started to build a relationship and I began to love you. We know that you were strong and fought through the pain, and now you are completely re-born in heaven. I wish we could have spent more time with you and creating memories. Still, I was glad we were able to spend many days together. We will love and remember you for the rest of our lives. Rest in peace Taffy.<span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:50% 5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:50% 5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span> Matthew

4/2/16-It's been 1 long day without you baby girl, and I can't even begin to describe how much I miss you. It really hurts walking by the spot you used to sleep in, knowing you're not there anymore. Lacey keeps whining and stays by the front door; I think she knows. You have no idea how much I wish I could've done something, anything, to prolong your life with me. Everything I look at in the house reminds me of you. The little spots you'd sleep on where the sun would hit; the fact that when I open the gate in the kitchen, I can just imagine you running out down the stairs like a bullet; or when I'd come up the stairs, you'd be there wagging your tail, giving me your paw. It's hard for me right now to just let the fact you're gone be true, but just know that I am happy you are at peace now. I'll love you forever and always....<span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:65% 55%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:65% 97.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:15% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span>

5/1/16- I dreaded the day that was to come when I'd have to say goodbye to someone I loved; unfortunately, that day was one month ago. During the 6 1/2 months that you were with me, you gave me so much joy and happiness. It was not hard at all to fall in love with you either. You were such an energetic dog who, for some reason, knew what it was like jumping on a couch; your love for bananas will forever make me confused. Even in your last days, you still made me proud by showing how much you learned from being with me for our short time together. I'll love you forever and always Taffyna. -- We miss you so much. Can't believe a month has already passed. We are making a garden memorial in your honor. Love you very much our little Taffy girl. <span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:50% 5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:50% 5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:50% 5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span>

4/1/17 - It's been one year without you, our little Taffy. We miss you beyond words. We talk about you often and we think of you every day. We know that you are in a much better place, we just wish that place was with us. Rest in peace and hope you enjoy running and playing in the sunshine with your friends in the field of Rainbow Bridge. We love you. Hugs & Kisses. <span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:15% 92.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 80%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:15% 95%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:32.5% 65%;background-size:4100%"></span></span><span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:47.5% 87.5%;background-size:4100%"></span></span> Mom, Dad, Jessica, Matthew & Lacey Love
