My precious Midnyte, I recall the day you came into our lives. At 8 weeks old you were flown in from Alberquerque, NM to your home in Southern, CA in August 1990. The second I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with those gorgeous brown eyes, long floppy ears and huge paws that I knew you would soon grow into. You were such a happy little puppy and was til the very end. At 4 yrs old you were diagnosed with Diabetes with daily insulin injections, special diets, regular Vet checkups but that did not touch your wonderful disposition, zest for life, and unconditional love you freely gave to anyone you met. As the years wore on, I was always there to give you the TLC I freely gave as unconditionally as you did, you taught me alot, my precious Midnyte, I fought for you and you always overcame yet another medical hurdle. You brought so much joy, love and laughter into so many lives, you will live in their hearts as you will in mine. I miss seeing you perk up when asked if you wanted to go "bye bye" even tho in the last few years your vision was taken from you due to your Diabetes condition. You loved going outside looking for new adventures, finding interesting smells and water our lawn in your special way, chewing on your rawhides, biscuits and loving being scratched by Daddy til he found that special spot to get your leg thumping on the ground.......we miss those moments. I can still feel you all around me, I feel you sleeping on the floor behind my chair in the computer room as you lay so peaceful, sometimes having little "puppy mares" and I'd gently wake you up letting you know Mama was there to chase those "puppy mares" away. I expect you to come to me at any moment and start bumping my arm as I type on the keyboard because you want Mama to pet you, I of course always obliged. So many wonderful memories I will always cherish, memories that you have given me to last a lifetime. I miss you so much my precious Midnyte, you were taken from us rather suddenly, tho you were trying to hang on for the last 6 months with new medical problems, you never complained or whined. My heart is broken and full of sadness. I am comforted in knowing that you are free once again in Rainbow's Bridge, able to see again, romp through the hills, making new friends and finding so many interesting smells. One day my precious Midnyte we will be together again, we will run into each other arms with such joy and run through the hills as we did so many years ago. Til then my precious Midnyte always remember that we love and miss you so much and live in our hearts forever. Love.........Mom & Dad
