You knew how to create a smile and seldom failed to do so, truth be told, I never had a more loyal friend than you. I recall the times I treated you bad; you'd shy away, but, you stuck by me, even when I acted crazy. When I was sick, you never left my bedside until you were sure I was okay. And you were happy sharing my happiness, always treating me as the center of your universe. I took you into my heart, where few have been, and you've never made me regret that decision. But the time has come for me to bid you goodbye; you were an exceptional friend, and if there is a doggy heaven, you're already there.

I truly believe there is a "rainbow" bridge where we will again be with our four-footed furry family. A touching write Emile. Congratulations!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this; making me thankful for our dogs. (Two of our canine pets just gave birth to 5 puppies each...) God bless you.
