Rest In Peace My Furry Love, Whiskey

"Rest in peace my sweet Whiskey in the arms of the Angels and the Blessed Lord Jesus above. May your wings fly home with great dispatch so that you can come stay with me and walk beside me evermore. You were the greatest blessing and joy in my life, next to my son, of course, who brought you home more than 14 years ago and so the years have flown by, from a furry babe rescued and barely able to stand to the sweetest, most wise soul I could ever have known, my best friend, my furry love, the kindest soul I ever met. You have taught me more about life and love than I can ever say, my love for you grew deeper each day and wrapped around my soul, although the tears will tug at my heart, I know you are with me always deep within my heart next to my Mom, where the two of you shall never depart. Whoever said dogs don't like hugs, didn't know you, for hugs were a thing of plenty in our love. Although you made it through cancer with your spunk and determination, your golden heart stopped beating without warning. Today was exactly 5 months from surgery and yet nearly a year from the appearance of that dreaded lump. We had agreed you would pass peacefully in your sleep some night and so you did in true golden fashion next to me and our souls shall never part. We spent the long weekend doing things you loved - hugs, snuggles, walking, eating, relaxing, visiting some favorite places and spending time with your favorite people - both of us not knowing what was yet to come. Although I wasn't ready to let you go ever, you took it upon yourself to leave quickly and peacefully without warning and so I have no choice but to respect God's wishes and hug you in my dreams til we meet again, my furry love."

"You stay with me, I'll stay with you, we'll stay together, forever my love."
