I hope you believe me when i tewll youhow important you are to me. you were my girl through some of my worst and most difficult times. Your fight, disibility and circumstances inspired me, and will always do so. You gave me courage and hope that anything is possible.Your unique and cherished wisdom provided me with solice. Thank you for taking care of me and making me do the right thingsthank you for bringing me back home as well.. those trips with you mean so much to me, they mark a very special time, and I needed you so much then. I slso have some of my fondest memories of you on them. Thanks for taking care me. i wish i could create something better here for you to be proud of me. love you


ToKatie

Hi baby. I am going to try and find some pictures of you when you were young. I'm sorry we only have these older pics. I love you angel. I called you my angel since we met. I am with you forever.


ToKatie

I love you baby


ToKatie

Katie I know you're a good dog because there was absolutely no question in my mind that you would have gladly removed my leg had I ever attacked your Mama Jo, but it wouldn't have been anything personal. Reading what the people, the ones you had a chance to learn to trust, have written to you, brings home what I need to do with my own beagles, every day, if I ever want to see doggy heaven. which is just be with them, love them helplessly and walk them in five degree weather, even though that means carrying the fat one home. Thanks for guarding my Mom and being her companion, and taking care of all those annoying snacks that people were wondering what the heck to do with.


ToKatie

I LOVE YOU BABY! I am trying not to bug you too much as I know you have so much to focus on. I can feel you, I hope you can feel us, everybody's love. I love you so much, Katie


ToKatie

I miss you more than ever baby. GOd it hurts. Remember your blue harnesss from florida?> the only one we ever found with that configuration, so perfect of ryou, I rememebr you would stick your head through and pop your litrtle leg up to go into the harness. I was trying to find one like it ever since koko broke yours, but we never did. I love you so much, and I miss you so much


ToKatie

I'm so sorry you've passed, but I know you had a long wonderful life. You had such a lovely family to be with and spoiled by. Please look over them and know you are so loved. ~Q


ToKatie

Katie, This is the first morning in 12 years I woke up without you being here. But I feel like you are still here. I'm going to miss you so much. I don't know about spirits and all, sometimes I think I can feel you, and someetimes i think we just say stuff like that.. I know I feel as if I do feel you, and i also feel like I don't have you here. I think you are trying to comfort me, I do feel you. You are so strong. I love you angel.


ToKatie

dear katie, when we fist met i was a little afraid of you cause you snarled at me but your daddy explained that you were just scared.soon we became fast friends and we would hang out in the apartment or i would take you on walks just the two of us early in the morning.you would slip out of the harness when ever you wanted to you are such a smart girl. i enjoyed our time together in boca with you and your daddy. when you moved away i really missed you so much. I was so happy when i would see you on yahoo and you would rember my voice. well k dog where ever that better place is you are there with roxanne and if a good looking golden retreiver stops you to say hi it is probably my boy rocky. God love you and keep you in the palm of his hand for ever uncle johnny


ToKatie

Katie, your sweet, happy, smiling face in the photo at the top of this page is just you. You look so pretty in your bright blue halter. The first time I met you in Florida, I was scared of you. I guess it showed because when I put my hand down to you, you grabbed it in your mouth, but you didn't bite down! Later, you just sat on the couch looking at us out of the corner of your eye and growling. I wasn't sure you could ever be domesticated. You probably didn't realize it, but Kel gave you a new lease on life. You were just hours away from being put to sleep when he swept you off your feet and into our lives. Even though you bit him, he was wise enough to look into your eyes and see the sweet, loving personality you became. I was still a little scared of you when you moved here. I'm sorry for all the times I dropped a piece of food on the floor because I drew back my hand too quickly. Later, with Kelly's help, I learned that you would take it very gently if I just held it in my hand. You were such an awesome dog, jumping and spinning around and having mock fights with Koko. But I didn't really realize how much I loved you until you came to live with us most of the time - to escape his lethal whipping tail! You and Koko had so much fun together on your hunting trips. You went so far one day we thought we would never get you back. You became my shadow, hardly letting me out of your sight. Dad and I were never worried about a stranger coming into the house if you were here. You were so fierce - you gave those FedEx guys "hell" every time they rang the doorbell. I can still remember the 6-foot leap you took toward my friend Judy when she rang the bell. Thank goodness the storm door was closed! I should have taken you on walks a lot more often. You were so excited when I got the leash out for our little walks around here. And you loved even more when we took you to Kellogg Lake where sometimes you could run free and see new sights and smell new smells. You always went to the pickup first to see if we were going there or just for our short walk. Such a smart doggie. I loved Roxanne too, she was so smart and cute, but I never bonded with her as much as I did with you, probably because I never lived with her. Thanks for guarding me where ever I went and for making us laugh. I will never forget how you would sit in front of my chair while I was reading or watching TV, and turn your head up and back, urging me to get out of the chair and get you some food. I would try to avoid making eye contact with you, but you were so cute you were hard to ignore. Less than 3 weeks ago, you were having a growling, snarling mock fight with Koko; less than 3 weeks ago, you were so excited about going on a walk, you jumped up and scratched me on my thigh (the scratch is still visible), and less than a week ago, you were so alert you spotted a fox during our walk. In these past few days, you had difficulty getting up and walking, and I knew you hurt, but you never whimpered or cried once. Our only blessing in this is that I don't think you suffered very long. You were such a strong dog except for your little injured left leg. But Kelly gave you so many massages I think it didn't bother you too much. I'm certain that you knew from those massages and all his kisses and hugs that he loved you so much! The house is so quiet without you, but sometimes I still think I can hear that little snuffle. Granddad and I love you, and will remember you forever. Grandmom


ToKatie

I'm with you baby. -Dad


ToKatie

Katie I am thinking about you. I hope you are doing well in your journey / transition. I love you.


ToKatie

You look pretty in yourpictures baby. I know you have big things in store, and I am fortunate to have you love me.


ToKatie

This is your site sweetie, i am working on it


ToKatie

It is so hard to write now. I have been sitting in the den where you always pass through when going to the office to look for your Grandma. You always give me that look that... gave me that look that said, I see you, but I need to make sure Grandma is in the office. If she was, you stayed there after turning around and laying with your head to the door to protect her. If she was not there, you would come back out, wag your tail, and go all through the house looking for her. She spoiled you so much. We never ate out anywhere that she didn't 'save something for her baby." We loved to take you to Kellogg park. It was one of your favorite places. Often on your leash, but also often off. You enjoyed both. Either way, each trip was an adventure... for us and you. And our evening walks up the street... will never be the same. We always laughed at your excitement and in the air turning jumps every time we you saw your leash. You could go out in our big yard any time by yourself, but the leash was special. That meant we would be with you. To share in your excitement. You loved your Grandmother from the first, but it took time for you to accept me. I know it is because you were so badly treated when you were young. But when you realized I loved dogies, you were my friend forever. And I know this. You had two wonderful homes. And three people that loved you so very much. And even just several days before you got sick, you were still jumping and turning when you saw your leash. And strolling through the house looking for your Grandmother. After my Sadie dog, and Cujo died, I told my daughter Lori that God had really screwed up when he created dogs and cats with such a short life span compared to humans. She said that God in his wisdom just gave us more to love. Maybe she is right, but I miss you so much right now, and it is so hard.... Granddad


ToKatie

I LOVE YOU
