In Loving Memory of my "Precious Faithie"

Dear Mommie,
I want to thank you for giving me and my sister Hope a furever home on 12/14/2000. I pretty much knew that you were going to be my new Mommie when I climbed onto your lap and gave you a hug and kiss that first day I met you. I was even more grateful when you asked to take Hope with me.
I remember when we were growing up that you never thought we would learn our names or walk on a leash, but, WE DID. Or how we would wander off into the woods and you would have to call for a search party to come find us. We heard you calling for us but we were investigating our surroundings. We learned real quick to come when you called our names!
I will always remember how much you gave us. From our annual Birthday/Halloween costume parties for us and our friends. We had toys galore, so many that we had to share with our friends. You even went so far as to give us an inground heated pool to help with our arthritis, (well, mainly Hope because I didn't like to get wet). But all we really needed was your Love, and, we got that and soooo much more. Not just from you but from everyone who knew us.
I will always remember how you tried to comfort me after Hope died. She was such a big part of my life and I was lost without her. I was never really the same since she left me. When I almost died on January 7th 2012 from a mass in my intestines, you said goodbye to me before my surgery. I knew that I had to come back for you because you weren't ready to lose me yet, I wasn't ready to leave you, and Hope was not ready for me to be with her either.
But now it is time for me to say Goodbye, because my frail body can no longer hold on anymore. I will miss you so very very much Mommie, and yes, I will also miss Hopie TOO, my new sister for the last 4 months. Don't be sad when you think of us because we are not there. We want you to laugh and smile because you had us in your life. And besides, we think that Hopie TOO is going to keep you very busy! We will always LOVE YOU.
Love always, your Faithie girl

P.S. Dear Mommie, I have found Hope and we are so happy that we are together again. We are free of pain, and playing again like we have never been apart for these last three years.

Dear Faith,
I am so glad that you and Hope are together again. I do miss the both of you so very much. When I look up at the sky at night I will think of fond memories of you both. I will always keep you both tucked away in my heart forever.
Faith & Hope, You Will Always Be Loved By Your Mommie and Hopie TOO.

In Memory of my "Sweet Hopie Girl"

You came to me on 12/11/2000 a scared shy pup in the back of a crate. I gave you and your sister Faith a "FOREVER HOME" three days later. You both grew up into beautiful ladies. You brought so much joy into my life since that day. Yes, you gave your Mommie some heartaches but I would do it all over again to have you back. You never "WANTED" for anything. I took care of you the best I could. The only thing we couldn't hurdle together was your brain tumor and for that I am profoundly sorry.
I want to Thank You for making me smile and your many wet kisses everyday. You were the first thing I saw in the morning (only because you insisted on resting your head on my pillow) and the last thing I saw at night. My days were so much brighter with you in it. You were the glue that held us all together. I was the lucky one to have you in my life for 8 short years.
I want to Thank You for making me laugh so hard that my belly hurt. For playing hide and seek and always knowing where to find me. For how special you made me feel when no one else could. How you were always glad to see me when I came home and the look of love and admiration in your beautiful eyes.
I want to Thank You for licking my tear drops away when I cried and letting me hold you as you slept. For keeping me safe at night knowing you would give your life for me and I for you.
I want to Thank You for allowing all the children of "Puppy Tales" to read to you each month even if it was the same story over and over again. For giving them kisses and making them feel special. For touching so many human lives and having so many "furry friends" that they too will miss and feel your loss.
I want to Thank You for listening to me rant and rave at times and giving me that look that said "Everything will be ok Mom beacuse I'm here and I love you." For all the unconditional love and devotion that you gave so freely.
For all these things and the many other things that you have done, your sister Faith and I want to thank your one last time, THANK YOU. You will never be forgotten.
You Will Always Be Loved
Mommie Lisa, Faith and PM
