Eddie,noggy noo,mummys handsome doberboy, its been less than 2 days since you left us & my heart is shattered into a million pieces.We all love & miss you so much.You weren't supposed to go, you were too young,10 years with you just wasn't long enough. The house is so quiet without you & the settee is just empty without you.I wish i could have one last dober leg hug with you,just to feel you big old head pressed against my leg,giving your mummy a hug.You were such a spoilt brat,but we made you that way,giving you all the creature comforts that you so deserved.Who is going to lay their head across my lap when i am trying to read the paper now you're not here?Who is going to bark at me & pester for the chair that i am sitting in(which i usually gave up for you!!)Who is going to nosey through the shopping bags to see if i'd bought you something nice?You were such a special dog,full of life & such character.Just one look in those beautiful big brown expressive eyes & we could see the devil in you,you were so cheeky.You loved life so much,walks in the park chasing the squirrels through the trees,early morning walks before the sun rose,chasing all those pesky bunnies that you never caught with the exception of one old one,i remember you standing there as proud as anything with it in your mouth but when daddy yelled at you to drop it you did & off it hopped.You never hurt it,you could never hurt anything,you were the gentlest,sweetest,kind old soul i ever met.You truly were the doggy love of my life as i used to tell you.Daddy & i miss you so much,we're so sorry we did what we had to do,but the vet said you wasn't going to get better & we couldn't bear to see our big brave handsome doberboy struggling for breath with your big heart full of love for us beating so slowly.Please forgive us big guy,we only wanted what was best for you & now we are left devastated wondering why it had to be your time so soon.I hope you are happy in doberheaven free from pain & able to breathe properly.So go Eddie chase those squirrels, bunnies & cats til your heart's content.Stand at the top of the hill,surveying the land & let the wind catch under your ears so they hover like little spaceships.Mummy,daddy,Toni,Shane & Amber love & miss you soooo much.You truly were one in a million.We will never forget you & know that we will love you forever & miss you til the day we die. Wait for us & we will see you again one day Eddie,noggy noo,handsome boy dober love of my life.Sweet dreams bubba
