My Smiley
With broken hearts, we said goodbye to our beloved Smiley Wooley on January 17, 2010. After a short, brutal fight with osteosarcoma, our boy crossed the Rainbow Bridge to run pain-free with great joy and abandon.
My Smiley, I miss having you on the other end of the leash-I knew your every move without ever having to look. I miss our snuggle time and having you scootch closer until your head was under my legs. I miss having you as a co-pilot on our many travels. I miss petting your soft head and hearing you sigh with contentment. I miss the sound of your galloping feet when Dad would call "Where's Mama?"-I always said that was my favorite sound in the world. I have loved every single moment of being your mama. You will forever be in my heart. I thank you for all of the love you gave me, for being my inspiration and for being my best friend. I love you Bubby.
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog; they take a piece of my heart with them. But every new dog that comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog. Then, I will become as generous and loving as they are. " --Cheryl Zuccaro
