Your Pet Tributes

(Salt Lake City)

Sadie was 11 years old when 4 days ago, I had to make the heartbreaking choice to put her to rest. Her kidneys were failing and she became very sick, very fast. It was the single hardest thing I have ever had to do in my 43 years.

She was the best frisbee catcher in the world and could jump so high and would catch it just about every time. She loved to hide her bones in our garden and I would not be surpised if we still find a few she forgot about.

She loved car and boat rides, with her face in the wind with her tongue out as far as it could go, dog slobber everywhere =) She loved camping and fishing and would always stay by our side to protect her family. Although she was not supposed to be on the couch we would find her there daily with a look on her face as if to say "What? I'm not doing anything wrong" but would slowly get down, ears back and tail wagging. She loved to lay in the sun even on the hot days, catching the rays and rolling the the grass.

You always greeted me with a smile and yes I mean a smile. You looked at me with your brown eyes with so much love. When I was sad you would come to me and comfort me as my tears would get your fur all wet.

I would give anything to have you back, I am so sorry you got sick. If I could have fixed you I would have. I miss you so much and just want to hold you again. My heart hurts with each moment I am without you. I don't know if my tears will ever stop. I love you Sadie and miss you so much!! Now you will never have to hear another firework again.

Run free my doggie with no pain, roll in the green grass and catch as much sun as you want, chase your tail.

Please wait for me on the other side, I hear Rainbow Bridge is a very special place, play and be happy until the day comes that we meet again. I will forever love and miss you my friend, my Sadie the best dog in the world.

Love Mom
