You came to me a sweet ball of fur....
I was not even sure if you were a him or a her.
I watched you learn to walk on wobbely legs...
Made you breakfast your favorite 3 scrambled eggs.
Instant Love grew as I held you so tight...
You slept in my bed from the very first night.
I trained you to smile,to sit and shake hands...
We ran in the yard,the park,on beaches white sand.
You accepted the puppies we always brought home....
Mothering them like they were your own.
You were faithful and loyal the greatest of friends....
Your loyalty lead you to the very end.
I will miss the wrestling on the living room rug...
I will never forget our very last hug.
The ring of your tags and the sound of your voice...
Stll echo inside the mind of this boy.
When I come home from school I still wait to see....
You galloping to the gate to greet Cody and me.
Your sweet disposition not knowing what you were....
PSSST My sweet baby your a pitbull I heard.
My days are so empty,my nights are so cold....
Without my best friend to have and to hold.
The house is to quiet for me to sit still....
The hole in my heart nothing can fill.
You took a piece with you when you went away....
There are so many things I would change from that day.
I am thankful for one thing from that fateful night....
I got to hold you and say Goodbye.

My Angel was killed by a hit and run driver on March,1st. The driver did not even stop. She had followed one of her adopted babies into the street. She was a voice command baby and while she stopped when told to her pup did not,she pushed her friend from the road and took the hit that took her life. The family was there and was able to say goodbye. She lifted her head at the sound of my voice her beautiful brown eyes telling us all it was ok. There were no visible injuries and she looked as though she was sleeping.Our lives are forever changed by this and the loss we feel is unbearable. My son sleeps with her collar on her pillow in his bed. The only comfort we have now is that we know she is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for one or all of us to take her to heaven with us. Angel was cremated and sits in our living room where she still guards our home. She will never be forgotten and can never be replaced. The loss is far reaching Angel made friends of everyone. She would smile at you and while you thought she was snarling, she was only smiling. She loved everyone and all who met her loved her back. The most valuable memories we have of her are playing tug of war which turned out to be a real work out for anyone who was brave enough to pick up that rope. When we talk about her personality she was almost like a child. She would sit next to you and just stare at you maybe placing her paw up in the air to get your attention or making people sounds with her mouth just so you would know she was there. She was gentle and sweet nothing like you would think a pit would be. She was her vets favorite friend. Even the techs said she was the most well behaved when having her nails done. She never repeated anything you shared with her and would eat whatever you put on her plate (and everyone elses plate too) I think we have some other thin babys becasue of her. I supose we will find out now. We were Honored to have been her family. Her human family Steve,Elaine(Angels Mom),Crystal,Jeanette,Jake(Angels best friend)Alexie,and Zachary, Her Canine friends Coco,Chloe,Beebee,Jack and Kilo R.I.P Our Angel
