“Because I knew you I have been changed for good.” My Ariel- My sweet sweet Ariel- My little punk, Spoiled brat monster. Of all the 15 years I had you with me, I wouldn’t change it for the world. When you came into my life at just 20 and you 4 weeks old, I never had thought I’d be here 35 mourning over you today. Then I was alone, I had no one- I had coworkers but they weren’t friends. I wasn’t social, and was just a loner…. and then you came into my life as a four week old pup… we both grew old together. I matured taking care of you the best I knew possible and you remained the same. a spoiled brat puppy who would every now and then bark at me to tell me what you want, give me an occasional stink eye when you didn’t get things your way, talked back to me to a point you would go on a sneezing frenzy. You brought light into my dark days when I needed it the most. you gave me that paw in a friendship I never knew I needed…. you were- ARE STILL my sunshine…. and now, you’re gone. In your senior years you battled cancer and won. you started to have seizures and with the power of modern medicine I was able to keep you around a bit longer…. The only thing I regretfully couldn’t save you from was time itself. I will say though to the very end, you were still stubborn. When you were getting weaker you would take what energy you would muster and come looking for me because you knew I wouldn’t allow you to walk and I’d still carry you like the little baby you were to me. You would eat your food but you would still take your medication up to your final day…. I felt that if you could continue on, you’d be were with me now, snuggling up next to me giving your little growl talk but I am here writing this all out. I will miss you and everything about you- I will miss your brown eyes which were described as soulful. I will miss those small little ears that I referred to as your little pigtails. I will miss the nights were you’d come up to lay and snuggle under the blankets next to me. I will miss your little doggy tantrums when you didn’t get the snack you wanted or seeing me petting another dog and I will miss celebrating your birthdays which were always special- You’d get a new Lambchop chew toy and I’d bring you home frosty paws…. But more than that… I will miss you. Your Grammom misses you- everyone misses you. Hopefully there is a rainbow bridge and one day I will see you again. I have had many dogs before you but YOU WERE my first. you were my baby and I will miss you. just remember and I told you this every night before bed and before I would leave the house- Daddy loves you… I just hope now you are with Chewy, Clyde, Montana, Scooby, Dusty and you are running free having a fun time. you were my baby girl, now your my angel. Love you always and forever- your daddy.
