Dear Alex -
Hi "little scooby"! Oh how I miss you. I think about you every single day. You were so special to me bugs - you'll always live inside my heart. Don't ever forget how much I love you. You were and still are my very best friend.
It sure has been hard since you left me. I wish you could've stayed here with me on earth forever. I know we'll be together again someday. I hope you are having fun with your friends at Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure you're eating a lot of treats! Remember when you were feeling good and you ate so many treats your tummy touched the ground? You always made us laugh - we'd call you "our little chub"!
You were such a fun, silly, smart dog Alex. There will never be another dog like you. I sure do miss your kisses, and carrying you around. I miss you sleeping next to me and stealing my pillows. I even miss you licking my comforter and snoring all night!!
You were, and still are the best dog anyone could ever have. You brought such joy to our family. Dad misses you, Jon misses you, Marie, and even mom misses you! I knew she always had a soft spot for you - even when you sat on her good couch! (Who wouldn't love a cute, friendly face like yours with a personality to match)!?
I am going to say goodbye for now, but not forever. I love you Alex! So very , very much. Thank you for the past 12 years! I'll always love you - you'll always be my "little bugger"! I can't wait to be with you again. Wait for me......
Love, Mum
