ON JAN. 10,2006, I HAD TO MAKE ONE OF THE HARDEST DECISIONS I HAVE EVER HAD TO MAKE. AFTER 9 AND 1/2 YEARS OF LOVING AND TAKING CARE OF MY BIG, SWEET BABY, CHESTER, I HAD TO HAVE HIM PUT TO SLEEEP. IT WAS SO VERY PAINFUL FOR ME BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE SINCE HE WAS 6 WEEKS OLD. BELIEVE ME, WHEN YOU HAVE A REALLY BIG DOG, THEY EASE THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HOUSE, HOME, LIFE, BED AND HEART, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'LL DO WHEN THEY ARE GONE. WELL, LIFE AND HOME AND OUR BED ARE SO EMPTY NOW WITHOUT YOU AROUND, BUT MY HEART IS FILLED WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES AND PLEASURES YOU BROUGHT INTO MY WORLD. BIG DOGS HAVE SHORT LIVES, 5 YRS. IS THE AVERAGE, 7 YRS. ARE GREAT, BUT 9 AND 1/2 ARE THE BEST. YOUR BIG OLD HEART JUST GOT TIRED OF PUMPING YOUR BLOOD ALL OVER YOUR BIG BODY, AND IT JUST GAVE OUT. YOU WERE SUCH A SWEET DOG AROUND ALL YOUR OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I CAN STILL SEE YOU RUNNING OUR 6 ACRES FEELING FREE AND HAPPY AND MOST OF ALL, HEALTHY. YOU HELPED ME RAISE MANY OF MY BABY GOATS AND KITTIES. THEY WERE JUST LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO YOU. YOU NEVER SNAPPED OR GROWLED WHEN THEY WOULD USE YOUR BODY AS A RUNNING TRACT. YOU WOULD JUST LIFT YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR NAP, LOOK AT THEM, AND THEN GO BACK TO SLEEP. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT YOU REALLY HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE HERE WITH ME AND THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS WAITING FOR YOU AT THE RAINBOWS BRIDGE. I WANT TO THANK GOD FOR GIVING YOU TO ME FOR AS LONG AS HE DID BECAUSE YOU MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIVE. I AM SAD THAT YOU HAD TO LEAVE ME, BUT I ALLOWED YOU TO LEAVE WITH DIGNITY AND WITH ME HOLDING YOU AND TELLING YOU I LOVED YOU AND I WOULD MISS YOU, AND THAT YOU LEFT A BIG HOLE IN MY HEART. I CAN ONLY LIVE FOR THE DAY WHEN YOU AND I AND THE REST OF MY BABIES ARE REUNITED. RUN, JUMP, PLAY, BE HAPPY, AND OH, BY THE WAY, MISS ME A LITTLE BECAUSE I MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOUR MEMORIES AND PICTURES ARE ALL OVER MY HOUSE, SO I WILL NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, DARLING, HANDSOME MAN. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS. 1/14,2006 I WENT TO PICK UP YOUR ASHES LAST NIGHT AND THEY PUT YOU IN A BEAUTIFUL CHERRY CASE WITH YOUR PICTURE OF THE FRONT AND ON TOP THE GOLD PLACQUE SAID I LOVE YOU CHESTER. I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I FELT BETTER TODAY, BUT I CAN'T. MY HEART HURTS TOO MUCH, BUT AT LEAST, YOU ARE HOME WITH ME FOR ETERNITY. I MISS YOU, MY BABY. PLAY HARD, MAKE LOTS OF FRIENDS, BE HEALTHY, BE HAPPY, AND TRY TO MISS ME A LITTLE. LOVE, YOUR MAMA 1/15/2006 MY DARLING SON, I WAS SITTING HERE LOOKING AT ALL YOUR PICTURES AROUND ME, AND I REALIZE THAT YOU ARE HERE IN SPIRIT ONLY, AS MY GUARDIAN ANGEL. I WORKED HARD TODAY TO MAKE THE DAY GO BY HOPING THAT I WOULDN'T MISS YOU SO MUCH, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU ALL DAY AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. I HAVEN'T DONE MUCH SLEEPING SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE, SO I HOPE TONIGHT TO GO TO BED EARLY AND DREAM ABOUT OUR WONDERFUL TIMES TOGETHER. I WILL SAY AN EXTRA SPECIAL PRAYER FOR YOU AND ME. GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVING BABY. SLEEP WELL. LOVE, MAMA 1/16/2006 IT IS A COLD, DREARY DAY, THE KIND YOU LIKE BECAUSE YOU COULD STACK UP ALOT OF ZZZZZZZZZZS. I TOOK YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WALKING THIS AM, AND WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. I THOUGHT I COULD SEE YOU RUNNING AHEAD OF ME, BUT ALWAYS LOOKING BACK TO MAKE SURE I WAS THERE. TONIGHT IS THE CANDLELIGHT VIGIL WITH PRAYERS BEING SAID FOR YOU FROM LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE. I WILL LIGHT MY CANDLE AND SAY A BIG PRAYER FOR YOU. IF YOU CAN TAKE TIME OUT FROM YOUR PLAYING WITH YOUR OTHER PALS, LOOK DOWN AND LET ME KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. LOVE, MAMA 1/17/2006 HELLO, MY ADORABLE SON. HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD DAY PLAYING AND RUNNING WITH ALL MY NEW AND OLD FRIENDS. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN GONE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY. I SAT OUTSIDE LAST NIGHT WITH MY CANDLE FOR MY PRAYER VIGIL. MY HEART HURT SO MUCH, BUT I KNOW THAT WHAT I HAD TO WAS THE RIGHT THING FOR YOU EVEN THOUGH I WISHED I COULD HAVE KEPT YOU FOR ALWAYS, BUT IT JUST WOULDN;T HAVE BEEN FAIR TO YOU.JERRY SPRINGER, YOUR FAVORITE CAT, REALLY MISS YOUR BIG BODY BECAUSE HE HAS NO ONE ELSE TO CURL UP NEXT TO WHEN IT
IS COLD. GEORGE AND GRACIE LOOK EVERYWHERE FOR YOU, AND LEXIE HAS SAID, "HURRY UP, CHESTER" SO MANY TIMES TO DAY. HE LOOKS AND I LOOK TO SEE IF YOU WILL GET OFF YOUR COUCH AND RUN TO US, BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE GONE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH THAT I DON'T SEE HOW I CAN MAKE ANOTHER DAY, BUT I HAVE TO GO ON BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOUR OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS NEED ME. I AM ALL THEY HAVE. KEEP THAT PIECE OF MY HEART YOU TOOK WITH YOU AND KEEP IT SAFE, SO THAT WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, YOU CAN RETURN IT TO ME. I LOVE YOU FROM THE DEEPEST, BOTTOM OF MY HEART. LOVE, MAMA 1/19,2006: TODAY WAS A BUSY DAY FOR ME TAKING CARE OF THE TWO OLD DOGS I RESCUED FROM THE POND WHO SURVIVED HURRICANE KATRINA, BUT NO ONE CAME TO CLAIM THEM. THE OLD COCKER SPANIEL, KIRBY, TESTED POSITIVE FOR HEARTWORM, SO HE GOT THOSE NASTY SHOTS LAST WEEK, AND THIS AM HE SPIT UP SOME BLOOD. YOU KNOW ME, RUSH TO THE VET. SHE SAID HE WAS OK, THAT THE TREATMENT IS REALLY HARD ON OLD DOGS. PRAY THAT HE COMES THROUGH THIS OK. HE HAS NEVER KNOW A REAL FAMILY, GOOD FOOD, LOTS OF LOVE, AND A WARM HOUSE LIKE YOU DID IN THOSE 9 + YEARS YOU LIVED WITH ME. I HAVE DO SOMETHING FOR A DOG THAT NEEDS MY HELP BECAUSE THIS WAY I KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOU NEVER KNEW THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THESE OLD DOGS HAVE GONE THROUGH. YOU HAVE BEEN GONE A LITTLE OVER A WEEK, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER. I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY AND RUNNING WITH YOUR FRIENDS. ALL YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS LOVE AND MISS YOU AS MUCH AS I DO. SLEEP WELL, PLAY HARD, AND MISS ME A LITTLE. LOVE, MAMA 1/25/2006 I MISS YOU MY SWEET, PRECIOUS BOY. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND 1 DAY SINCE YOU LEFT MY SIDE, AND IT STILL HURTS ALOT TO THINK OF YOUR NOT BEING AROUND ME AT MY SIDE, TAKING WALKS, WATCHING TV, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I GO TO SLEEP, MY BED IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU. I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A WONDERFUL PLACE AND I AM HERE ALONE. NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO ME LIKE YOU WOULD. ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AND NEVER HAVE TO PART. WON'T THAT BE GREAT? I LOVE YOU, MY ANGEL. GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP WELL, PLAY HARD, STAY HEALTHY AND ALWAYS SEND ME YOUR LOVE. LOVE, MAMA 1/26/2006 HI, MY BABY. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME GETTING TO KNOW ALL THE SPECIAL ONES THAT HAVE CROSSED OVER THE BRIDGE. YOU HAVE ALOT OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FRIENDS WITH YOU NOW. I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY, BUT I AM STILL SAD. I MISS YOU AND THE PAIN JUST WON'T GO AWAY. WHEN YOU WERE HERE WITH ME AND I LOST ONE OF MY PRECIOUS BABIES, YOU WERE SO KIND AND GENTLE AND SENSED THAT I NEEDED YOU MORE AT THOSE TIMES. YOU AREN'T HERE WITH ME PHYSICALLY, BUT YOUR MEMORY WILL GO ON FOREVER IN ME. I MISS YOU, MY SWEET SON. WATCH OVER ME AND HELP ME GET THROUGH THIS. I KNOW YOU WERE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL WHEN YOU WERE HERE WITH ME, SO JUST KEEP DOING THAT FOR ME BECAUSE I DEPENDED ON YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU. LOVE, MAMA 1/29/06 I JUST WALKED BY THE ADORABLE PICTURE I HAVE OF YOU HANGING IN OUR ENTRANCE WAY. YOU ARE THE FIRST THING THAT PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY VISIT. I HAD TO STOP AND GIVE IT A BIG KISS JUST BECAUSE I NEEDED YOU TO KNOW I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. IT RAINED ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT YESTERDAY, BUT TODAY THE SUN WAS SHINNING AND THE BIRDS WERE SINGING, BUT ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS HOW MUCH YOU WOULD HAVE ENJOYED THE DAY WITH US. LIFE WITHOUT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. NO MORE GREAT DANES FOR ME. IT IS JUST TOO HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE. YOU KNEW EVERYDAY THAT WE ALL LOVED YOU, SO THAT MAKES OUR LOSS HURT MORE. BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, STRONG AND I HOPE YOU HAVE FOUND A SOFT, COZY BED LIKE OURS TO SLEEP ON. MINE IS SO EMPTY WITHOUT YOU. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. SLEEP WELL TONIGHT AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL TIMES WE SHARED. I LOVE YOU, MY BABY. LOVE, MAMA 2/2/2006 HI, MY SWEET BABY. I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN A FEW DAYS, BUT GEORGE BROKE HIS FOOT FALLING OFF THE BED EARLY MON. MORNING. I RUSHED HIM TO THE EMERGENCY VET. WHO X-RAYED IT AND PUT A SPLINT ON IT UNTIL I COULD TAKE HIM TO OUR REG. VET. LATER THAT DAY. THEY HAD TO SEDATE HIM AND PUT HIM IN A CAST. SEE, IF YOU HAD BEEN ASLEEP ON OUR BED, YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HIM FROM FALLING OFF. HE IS DOING FINE, BUT HE HAS TO WEAR THAT CAST FOR 6-8 WEEKS. YOU KNOW I AM TAKING GOOD CARE OF HIM, BUT WE ALL STILL MISS YOU SO MUCH. I HOPE YOU HAVE MET UP WITH LITTLE BIT, APRIL LOUISE, BUCKY, ELVIS, MR. MAGOO, AND THE REST OF MY BABIES THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU. JUST REMEMBER WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY. I KISS YOUR PICTURE NEXT TO MY BED EVERY NIGHT. RUN, JUMP, PLAY, BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND MISS US SOME. GOOD NIGHT, MY SON. LOVE, MAMA 2/6/2006 I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL DAY TODAY. IT HAS BEEN CLOUDY AND OVERCAST, AND YOU KNOW HOW THE WEATHER AFFECTS ME. I HAVE BEEN SAD ALL DAY, BUT IN MY HEART I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY. SPOOKY IS SITTING HERE ON THE PRINTER, AND SHE WANTS ME TO TELL YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A SWEET, CARING BIG BROTHER. SHE MISSES YOU TOO AS MUCH AS WE ALL DO. PLEASE SAVE A PLACE FOR ME BECAUSE I AM JUST WAITING TO BECOME A PART OF YOUR LIFE AGAIN. RUN, JUMP, PLAY, BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY, MY PRECIOUS BABY. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. MISS ME SOME. LOVE, MAMA 2/10.2006 hI, MY SWEET ANGEL. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS ONLY BEEN ONE MONTH TODAY THAT I LOST YOU. IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER BECAUSE I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER RECOVER FROM YOUR BEING GONE FROM MY SIDE AND MY BED. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I WAS BLUE OR CRYING OR LAUGHING, I COULD ALWAYS DEPEND ON YOU. GEORGE IS DOING GOOD SINCE HE BROKE HIS FOOT. HE WAS AT THE VET. ON WED.AND HE SAID HE WOULD ONLY HAVE TO WEAR THE CAST 3 MORE WEEKS. IT SNOWED ALL DAY TODAY AND I REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVED TO RUN AND JUMP IN THE SNOW. I COULD HARDLY GO OUTSIDE KNOWING THAT YOU WERE NOT THERE TO PLAY WITH ME. PLEASE CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER ME AND PROTECT ME AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE. SOMEDAY WE WILL NEVER HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE AND PLAY AND BE TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PAIN AGAIN. RUN, JUMP, PLAY, AND BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. GOOD NIGHT FOR NOW, MY BABY BOY. LOVE, MAMA 02/16/2006 HELLO,MY SWEET BABY BOY. I AM HAVING A BAD DAY TODAY BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST THE ANNIVERSARY OF ELVIS LEAVING ONE YEAR AGO. HE IS THERE WITH YOU NOW TO SHOW YOU THE WAY AND BE BESIDE YOU FOREVER. SOON WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AND NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE OR SUFFER. I KNOW YOU MISS ME HERE, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR HAVING TO MAKE THAT AWFUL DECISION, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WAS ONLY THINKING OF YOU. IF I HAD BEEN THINKING OF ME, I WOULD NEVER, NEVER LET YOU GO. STAY STRONG AND PRAY FOR ME. YOUR MEMORY IS ALIVE AND WELL IN MY HEART. GOOD-NITE, SLEEP TIGHT, PLAY HARD, RUN AND JUMP, AND MISS ME A LITTLE. LOVE, MAMA 04/02/2006 I WOKE UP THIS MORNING THINKING ABOUT YOU AND MISSING YOU SO TERRIBLY. I TOOK ALL THE OTHER DOGS WALKING IN ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SPOTS, AND I LOOKED FOR YOU EVERYWHERE. I THOUGHT I COULD SEE YOU RUNNING, BUT ALWAYS TURNING AROUND TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLOSE. WHAT A WONDERFUL FRIEND, COMPANION, SON, BABY, BUDDY, AND MY LIFE YOU WERE WHEN YOU WERE HERE WITH ME. GEORGE GOT HIS CAST OFF 2 WEKKS AGO AND IS USING HIS LITTLE LEG MORE AND MORE EACH AND EVERY DAY. OUR WHOLE LIVES ARE EMPTY WITHOUT YOU, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER US. PLAY HARD, JUMP AND RUN, FEEL GOOD AND HEALTHY AND MISS US A LITTLE CAUSE WE MISS YOU ALOT. GOOD-BYE, MY SWEET SON. LOVE, MAMA 04/19/2006 HI, MY BIG, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL SON. I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I STILL MISS YOU. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I KNOW THAT GOD HAD A REASON FOR TAKING YOU FROM ME, BUT YOU LEFT SUCH A BIG HOLE. I STILL LOOK FOR YOU EVERYWHERE. I THANK GOD THAT HE DID NOT LET YOU SUFFER ONE BIT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE IF YOU HAD BEEN SICK AND COULDN'T ENJOY LIFE THE WAY THAT YOU DID. I KISS YOUR PICTURES EVERY NIGHT AND PRAY THAT YOU ARE HAPPY. I MISS YOU SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS TO REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES. BUT I HAVE THEM IN MY HEART, SAFE AND SOUND, SO ONE DAY I CAN TAKE THEM OUT AND BE HAPPY INSTEAD OF CRYING ALL THE TIME. I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ME IN HEAVEN, JUST AS YOU DID HERE ON EARTH. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AND NEVER HAVE TO PART. SO BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, RUN, JUMP, PLAY, AND MISS ME A LITTLE CAUSE I MISS YOU SO MUCH. LOVE, MAMA 06/15/06 WHAT CAN I SAY TO YOU THAT I HAVEN'T SAID A MILLION TIMES. I CAN'T GET OVER THE LOSS OF YOU BEING HERE WITH ME. GEORGE HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS SINCE YOU LEFT. HE DEPENDED ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. HE BROKE HIS FOOT AND HAS SURGERY TWICE ON THE OTHER LEG. HE IS JUST NOW STARTING REHAB. AND NEEDS YOU HERE TO ENCOURAGE HIM. I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN, BUT I AM NOT YOU. YOUR PICTURES ARE ALL OVER THE HOUSE, IN MY CAR, AND BY OUR BED. I MISS YOU, MY SWEET BABY. I KNOW YOU WILL WATCH OVER GEORGE FROM HEAVEN. HE NEEDS HIS BIG BROTHER AND SO DO I. I KNOW YOU ARE HAVING FUN, FREE OF PAIN. THE PAIN IN MY HEART FROM LOSING YOU WILL NEVER, NEVER GO AWAY. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU. LOVE, MAMA 09/14/2006 GEORGE IS SITTING IN MY LAP WHILE I AM VISITING YOU HERE AT THE BRIDGE. HE IS OUT OF REHAB NOW AND WALKING NORMALLY ON THAT LITTLE LEG. HE AND I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS IF YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FOREVER, BUT AT TIMES, I LOOK BEHIND ME THINKING I MIGHT GET A GLIMPSE OF YOUR BIG BODY. OH, HOW I LOVED EVERY INCH OF THAT BODY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WHEN I LOST YOU, YOU LEFT ME KNOWING THAT I DIDN'T MAKE YOU SUFFER A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. YOU WERE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY I GOT YOU. THERE IS A BIG HOLE IN OUR HEARTS BECAUSE YOU TOOK THEM WITH YOU. GEORGE LOVES YOU AND MISSES HIS BIG BROTHER, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN, NEVER TO BE APART AGAIN. REST WELL, PLAY AND BE HAPPY, BUT PLEASE MISS US SOME BECAUSE WE MISS YOU EVERYDAY. LOVE, MAMA AND GEORGE 10/11/2006 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!I REMEMBER HOW YOU USE TO GO TO THE DOOR WITH ME WHEN THE KIDS CAME. YOU WERE SO BIG AND LOVABLE AND LET THEM ALL PET YOU.
