He was 3 months old blonde and little sitting in the corner of a pet store howling his little heart out as he was the only one left. I went in and he was all over me. I had found my forever friend my best friend. His name became Taylor He loved me unconditionally. He was my shadow, We could communicate with each other just by looking into each others eyes. He loved to travel with me. He obeyed every command willingly and lovingly. He was a gorgeous dog with a thick soft coat tht he let me bury my face in to cry or just to love him. He would look up at me with those soulful brown eyes and say Its okay mom with a gentle touch of his paw on my arm or leg. He loved everyone but I was his mom. Now sorrowfully he is in heaven and waits for the day I can be with him forever. My 7 year old daughter kept whispering to me to believe it, believe it. I asked her what she meant and she said cause mommy, Taylor loved you and he wont leave you if you only believe. I told her I did believe, the wisdom of a child is wonderful.
Taylor passed on March 14, 2006 he fell into my arms just the way we both wanted. I have never cried so hard as i did then. I lost my best friend for awhile until we meet at Rainbow Bridge someday again.
I love you my handsome beautiful boy. You will never leave my heart. And I know your still in the house, I hear you and see you. Thank you Taylor for being the best friend I ever needed in time of saddness and happy times. A piece of my heart goes with you, a piece of yours stays with me.
Those brown soulful eyes looked at me with trust until one day they started to cloud over my precious friend was losing his eyesight, the calling you took longer and in a louder voice, my precious friend was losing his hearing. standing became slower and more difficult for you. You couldnt get comfortable, you loved to lay on my bed and the couch when you could get up there. You loved to run and play fetch with your fur flowing in the wind. A beautiful sight you were. Afer awhile even that became a chore for you. But you still tried your hear wanted to please and enjoy life to the fullest, but your body didnt. Your devotion was a wonderful gift my friend, and it is sorely missed every day.
It has been almost 3 months since you left us and went to heaven and I still keep looking for you. I see you standing in my room. I find myself petting you and your not there. My heart breaks and the tears come so quickly. I wonder if I should get another sheltie but it wouldnt be you and never replace the love and devotion you gave me the same way. It has been a hard time my heart is so empty, my tears flow freely. Isabella the maltese I got for you but you couldnt tolerate cause you were old and she was a pup and rambuctious, tries to comfort me she does some of the same things you did. She will put her paw on my hand or my leg she sleeps with me. But it isnt you Taylor. I have called her Taylor several times only to my disappointment you no longer answer. The mourning continues, the shock is going away slowly now the anger is here. My heart drops my stomach aches I feel sick whenI think about you. the tears still come. Your toys are still in the same spot. Isabella plays with some but other she doesnt touch. Those were yours and it is almost as if she knows. Now the weather is getting nicer and i see you outside running in the sun, only to realize it is my eyes that see you. You came to me last night and stood in my doorway and just looked at me like you always did. And i cried. I love you my friend I miss you. Your always in my heart forever. Love mom
