Toby tumbled into our lives, hit by a truck, left for dead over 11 years ago. Vern scooped him up, Dr Mark put him back together. We brought him home, and he not only lived, but thrived for so many years. He loved Dickens and Gracie, his brother and sister who are now already at the Rainbow Bridge. All three are now playing together, and are waiting until we are with them once again. Toby was so gentle. He loved playing with his toys, gathering up our shoes, chasing tennis balls, & running around playing with Gracie & Dickens. After Dickens left us, Toby was so sad, but took on Dickens role of watching over & protecting us. He was our constant companion along with Gracie. When Gracie left us, he missed her so. He looked everywhere for her. He settled for hanging around with us. He loved going for rides for ice cream, loved trying to find treats that we hid for him. Outside he told me when it was time to go in. He loved to get the newspaper each morning, another job that Dickens did. Lounging on the couch with Gracie was 1 of his favorite things, then with us when she left. At night he slept next to my head, his muzzle on my shoulder. He always accompanied me around the house wherever I went. When we came home from shopping, he was sure that we had brought him a prize, & he checked the bags for something for him. Many more wonderful memories of you, Toby, than I can list here. What will we do without you? I saw a dove fly up and land on the roof of the porch, pause there, coo, take off & fly away, the morning after you left us. I know it was you, T, saying goodbye. My very good, sweet boy, Toby, I miss you so. I will see you soon. Christmas 2019. You aren't here. I will desperately miss driving around with you & your dad, looking at all of the Christmas lights in the neighborhood. I miss you next to me in bed, on the couch,& in the yard. You were my constant companion. I miss you telling me when it was time to go back in the house. You patiently waited holding your leash to go for rides. You took care of me as much as I took care of you, & it's so hard to go on. Merry Christmas my dear sweet Toby. It's already Dec 2020. We now have Fritz 12/26/19 & Loki 4/17/20, They won't replace you. We love you. You're always in my heart. I know you're watching us & waiting for us. I cry over you & miss your sweet eyes and happy face. I love you Toby Tyler. Its Christmas 2021. Its 2 years since you left us. I still cry & miss you so. No room to say how much. May 13, 2022 and its still excruciating. Don't ever forget us. We will look for you guys! Kisses & hugs!! Our new babies can never replace you and Dickens & Gracie. Love forever. May, then September 2023 & nothing is different. Wait for us, we are coming to see you again. Toby, you sweet wonderful boy. Please also visit Gracie.
