Wookie was half bischon frise and half poodle. He was a very anxious pup, didn't trust people right away. You had to earn his trust, but when you did, he loved you like no other. He was the first one to greet me at the door when I came home from work (or the grocery store, or outside for that matter) with jumps and twirls and smiles. He always sat on the couch back rest, making sure his paw was on my shoulder. He followed me around the house just like a tiny, quiet shadow. He would literally push me to the kitchen when it was treat time before I went to work. He would play with me when I would say, "I'm gonna get you, Wookie" and he would run and when I caught him, he would jump into my arms. He would not beg for food, when we sat down to eat, he would go to his bowl and eat his own dinner. He was pure love and acted just like a precious puppy. Wookie was just so, so special and so, so sweet.
When your dad left out of state and couldn't take you, you waited for him for 2 weeks on his bed. He missed you so much. I finally managed to get you to stay in my room with your momma, Gaby, who babied you like crazy. I loved to see you cuddle up to her. She has also missed you so, so much and was so sad, she would not leave her bed.
Wookie, I am hurting every day that you are not with me, keeping my feet warm at night, watching TV. You brought me so much joy and happiness, especially in my times of sadness, depression and anxiety. One look at your precious little face and all my problems melted away as if putting things in perspective that nothing is more important than love. I miss not seeing you at every spot one of your favorite spots to be. You were eager to please and jumped for joy at your every "good boy" exclamations. I've never seen a pup smile the way you did... and how much you loved for me to scratch your booty.
I hope you can forgive me for not fighting harder for you. For not giving you a fighting chance, knowing the fighter that you were. I'm sorry for not taking you home and caring for you myself. You wanted to come home with me when you heard my voice. I'm sorry for not asking the right questions when it came to your health. I'm sorry for my cowardliness of not being with you at the end. For only thinking of my selfishness and not wanting to see you that way. My face should have been the last thing you saw before you closed your precious little eyes forever, being comforted in my arms, telling you how much I loved you. Please forgive me my dear, dear Wookie. Forgive me for not taking you out for more walks and more doggy park visits. And not giving you nearly as much love as you gave me. My heart hurts because you left a huge hole in it. I never thought you would leave me so, so soon and what an incredible impact you truly made in my life. I miss you. And I hope one day we will be together again. I hope you jump and twirl for me to welcome me home. I LOVE YOU, MY PRECIOUS WOOKIE.
Sophia and Jared have very special memories of you, which I know they will share. They were crazy about you and know that Savvy, your beautiful and precious sister, was there to welcome you to doggy heaven... which I know exists and I know is the most special place ever.January 18, 2020
Today, I took Chewy and Gabby, your momma and dad on a short hike. I found a medallion on the ground as I opened the passenger door (added pic) .. a beautiful sign of comfort. I miss you so much Wookie. I so wish you were still with us every single day. My tears continue to fall and such a great sense of loss and sadness overcome me. I love and miss you so much, my previous Wookie. January 24, 2020
My precious Wookie, I miss you and your sister, Savvy so much. Some days are easier than others. Everything at home reminds me of you, every spot, every treat I give your mom and dad, every day I walk in the door, every walk we take. I just think about how happy you would have been with us. I try to stop myself from thinking past the good memories because then I get just too sad and miss you too much. My precious furbabies, I love you so much. I hope you are loving your new place and making many friends and bringing so much happiness. Watch over us as our little angels that your are. I love you. January 30, 2020
My special little Wookie, yesterday, we took your momma and dad for a walk. We like to go to a football field near the house, I'm sure you remember. We let them off the leash to run around and chase each other and all I could think of was how much you loved that and how happy you would get doing your twirls and jumps. Every day, there is always something that reminds me of you or we do something that I know you would have loved. It's been really hard not having you with us. All I want is you back. I try and not think too much about you being gone, because then I'll just start crying. I try to stop thinking after a good memory. Monday, I lit 3 candles for the Memorial Ceremony. I have your ashes next to your sister's cuz I know you are together. I will do another Memorial on Monday and say some prayers. I am so grateful for so many words of comfort from furbaby parents who have been through the same loss. I love and miss you every single day, my precious, Wookie & Savvy. February 11, 2020
My precious, baby Wookie... I miss you so, so much. I think of you all the time, literally. Your momma, Gaby misses you and is still so sad. You two were inseparable, always playing and chasing each other. I loved watching you play so much. Everything we do with your momma and dad just makes me wish more that you were with us. You deserved all the happiness in the world because that's how much happiness and joy your always brought us. I miss you so, so much. As I sit here and type this, the tears just keep falling. The day we are together again will be a day of pure joy to see your little face again. I love you, my little baby Wookie... give puppy kisses to Savvy, please. December 21, 2020
Precious Wookie... I think about you so much... and miss you terribly. I put out your Christmas stocking and seeing your name made me sad that you are not here with us. You're a beautiful pup, so unique. I love you so much and miss you incredibly. Give little kisses to your sister, Savvy and tell her we miss her terribly also. We love you both so much. February 2, 2021
My precious Wookie... I am still waiting for the day that just thinking about you will bring only a smile to my face and not sadness. I miss you so much and think of you often. I know you are in paradise with your sister, Savvy... tell her we miss her so much, too. We love and miss you both so much. Sending you lots of cuddles and puppy kisses. October 13, 2022
Hi my sweet Wookie and Savvy... I think of you both so much and I miss your specialness. Your mommy and daddy and I walk every morning now and I think about how much you would love to walk with us. Maybe next time, I will just imagine you both running and playing with us at the park. I miss you so, so much and wish that you were still with us. Sending you snuggles and kissies, my babies. December 19, 2022
My precious sweet Wookie... I miss you so much. You are always on my mind and I just wanna hug you. Your mom and dad are my comfort and when I hold them, I think of you and Savvy. I hope you and Savvy are playing nice together and keeping each other company. We love you so much and miss you both. As always, sending you cuddles and kissies. February 3, 2024
My sweetest Wookie and Savvy, please welcome your daddy, Chewy. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. I have been crying so much because I miss him so terribly much. Your momma, Gaby and I are very, very sad. I think about you just about every single day. I have missed you so, so much. Please tell your daddy that we love him so much and are so happy is no longer suffering. I miss him so much. It was rainy yesterday and it made me happy to see a big, beautiful rainbow from beginning to end. I imagined that was the rainbow he crossed. I love you all so, so much and will care for your momma, Gaby to the best of my ability... always thinking of you all.
