Mellie

From the moment we went to find dad a dog since I had my cat. I knelt down and got tackled by all the puppies then my dear sweet Mellie came up and gently licked my hand, we were soulmates reunited. I then talked to her and she gave me that great Elvis lip curl smile, I was hers. The ride home in my lap covering my face w/ kisses she was mine and dad would just have to share me w/ her. I loved stroking those floppy ears nothing brought more peace to me. Dad would always get annoyed w/ the wimpering when she couldnt be as close to us as she thought she should be, and now he misses it the most. I was so often frustrated w/ how she wouldnt let me leave her sight even to go to the potty.  I would raise my voice “go lay down” w/ head hanging down sullen looking back to make sure I meant it. I would give anything to have her at my heels again. Just a few nights with out her these winter nights are extra cold with out her laying on my legs and feet. We choose not to have kids so these furry 4 leggers are our kids I am Mellie’s mom, and I will always be Mellie’s mom. Its not fair that I only got 12 yrs with her but I know I will see her again maybe I will get lucky and she will reincarnate bak into my current life but as soulmates we are destined to be together again. Dad, her kitty sister Amie, myself, and all who knew her will miss her as she was the best pup ever. Out of our lives for now……..in our hearts forever <3 Mellie,
Mom loves you and misses you so much, and am so thankful you no longer have to cover the pain you must have been in. Thankful I was there to say good bye. And thankful beyond words for the time we had.
Love mom
