My Dear Cody, This week has been so hard without you.From the moment i wake up til i go to bed, i think of you. You are and always will be in my heart. I want to tell you Im sorry again that i was careless and left the gate open which led to your death.I think everyday of things i could have done different so that you would still be here with me today, now its too late. The pic remains in my head of your horrible and tragic death. The only good thing in it was that you didnt have to suffer. We got a puppy on Saturday. I feel like i betrayed you but she can never replace you. The hurt of loosing you is still there too and i know it will stay there for a long time. You dont know how much you meant to me and how i miss you every day. I named our new pup Joy cause she has brought a lil Joy into our lives after your death. Grandma and mom also took your death hard and not having been there for you when it happened.well i dont know what else to tell you. You were everything to me. My best friend my brother and a lot more. You were always there when i needed you and now when i think back i think of all the times i yelled at you when you chased a car, barked at somone walking past the car, and growling when you thought i was being threatened. You know, the things i hated most about you i know long for again.My heart still hurts so much for you and to think it has only been a week. Joy keeps me busy but you are the one in my heart. You are the one that was always there for me when i needed somone to listen and talk to. Cody, I love You and i always will. I hope you are in a better place now. I hope you are running around and playing with so many of the other dogs that are there. I know you are not playing with cats though since you hated them with a passion. Well my buddy, bye for now and i Hope you will wait for me at the golden bridge where we shall meet again. Love always, Your Mom
