The house is just to quiet now that you are gone. It has only been 3 weeks since you entered The Rainbows bridge. The Holidays were full of excitnment with all the family and kids romping around. Though deep in my heart I felt the quiet and the longing for you. I feel you close when my heart is breaking from missing you so much. I can still smell you at times when I need you near and sometimes in the quiet I hear you walking on the hardwood floors or hear your collar clang on the stairs. I keep the memories of our times together tucked close to my heart and each day I pull one out to reflect on all the love you brought to my life. I will never forget the day that John brought you home to me as a surprise and how I thought that he had broken his arm the way he had you bundled up in a blanket. I will never beable to turn on a flashlight with out remembering the funny way you would chase after it and run around in circles to catch the light. There were days that I would welcome the quiet in the house after the kids went off to school, but now the quiet is soooo painful. I miss your bark when the doorbell would ring or when you would see someone ride a bike or just walk by the house, I know you were protecting us in your own way. I believe that you have reached the Rainbows Bridge and are there with Mr. Muffin and My Jermey, stay close with them until I join you.(I'll be sure to bring a flashlight and some treats with me) I love you and miss you very much.
