Our hearts were torn apart at 1:47 PM on Tuesday,

With those ears too big for that cute Westie face,

the store put you on sale, what a disgrace!

 You were so proud, you knew your stuff,

 and you’re an Alfa dog, that’s it, that’s enough.

Your wagging tail, that sad face look,

 then a happy smile, that’s all it took.

We all felt a bond and knew right away,

 that we’d be great friends and you’re coming home to stay!

You might not talk the way we humans do,

we might be taller and walk on two.

But make no mistake, we understand you.

Your purpose is simple, pure love thru and thru.

So there is no master, no upper hand,

we’re just great friends, four legged and man.

Mommy called you her little lamb,

her angel that's heaven sent.

 You gave her sparing kisses and followed wherever she went.

And nudging Dad with your nose seemed to be your trademark way,

to let him know that you would like a treat or just to play.

God made a wonderful creation so perfect and true.

For over 14 years he taught us to learn, love and respect thru you.

That’s all you ever gave to Mommy and Dad,

love, happiness and joy, but now we’re crying and sad.

Those last few days we feared what was to come,

but staring deep into our eyes you told us what must be done.

We held and kissed you thru the end, and whispered our good-byes,

but words could never express our pain when hearing your long last sigh.

With sobs, tears, and kisses,  and one final gentle touch,

we spoke, "you're in God’s hands now son, and he loves you just as much."

God blessed us with you Mickey for what seemed a very short stay,

but promises an eternity together one glorious, joyous day.

 

We all miss you so much son!

Buddy looked for you every day until he also passed!

Love, Mommy, Dad and Buddy.

We light prayer candles  for each year of your passing Mickey...

 

 

 

Once again our hearts were torn apart at 8:58 PM on Friday,

August 12, 2005 when we lost our little Buddy.

Some questioned why we gave you a common name like “Buddy”.  If they only knew you like we do son, they'd  know that Buddy describes the purest meaning of your heart.  Yes we call you son because you are just that and a perfect one as well.  Even as a puppy there were very few moments that would give a parent a problem.  You loved everyone and everything and were so smart, gentle and kind.  Mickey and you loved Halloween, dressed in your costumes and greeting all the little children one by one. You were such a little gentleman, so considerate to everyone around you.  We never needed words between us to understand one another, just a simple glance would do.  God created the closest thing to perfection when he gave you life and blessed us with that perfection and love for over 15 ½ years.  You're so much a part of us that it would be extremely difficult to make any decision to let you go when the time would come so that final evening you made the decision for us when we were all together.  When you passed and the doctor said “he’s gone now,” they carried you into a private room so we could all be alone together once again.  When we held you and whispered in your ear I guess you still weren’t ready for your final journey and began to breathe once more surprising us all.  We’re sure that's how you wanted to let us know you heard our prayers. Those next few minutes gave us the time needed to share our final goodbyes and ask that you say hi to Mickey for us, giving him our love when you see him in Heaven.  So both of you run along now and play tag and have a great time up there now that your legs, sight and hearing are back the way they were when you were younger.  Please save a spot in your hearts and Heaven for Mommy and Dad when it’s our turn as well.

 

Buddy & Mickey,

We love and miss both of you so much that our tears could fill an ocean.

Love Mommy and Dad

We light prayer candles  for each year of your passing Buddy...

 

Buddy joined our family in April of 1990 and Mickey joined our family in July of 1990.
