A Tribute To Roxy

My sweet Roxy,

Instead of rememberig the sadness of the day you passed on to Rainbow Bridge one year ago today...I want to pay a tribute to the way you lived.

I know your life didn't start out very well. I can only imagine how scared and alone you and your brother felt after being dumped on the side of the country road like a piece of garbage. I don't know how long the both of you wandered alone in the country...but I'm sure it was terrifying!

I remember the day I brought you home to live with us. You were scared and excited at the same time. You were such a wild child...and I must admit that a few times I thought to myself "oh my...what have I gotten myself into"? You were so starved for attenetion that I didn't think I would ever break you of jumping up on me...leaving me with sratches and bruises on my legs. I came to love that "wild child" side of you.

After time passed, you learned to trust again and you were certain you had finally found your forever home. You knew then that you didn't need to beg for love and attention any longer...you would have a lifetime of it. You lived like a queen along with your two Cocker brothers Max and Andy. As the years went by...you slowed down some...but not much. You always had the energy to terminate your stuffies and string them throughout the house. You loved the park, but most of all you loved your car rides.

You brought so much life...love...and sillyness into our home. I could not have imagined life without you. You were as goofy as can be most of the time and one thing I will always remember, is that silly toothy smile that you would greet me with every morning and every night when I walked through the door. I miss being greeted at the door by you and whatever it was you had in your mouth at the time...a sock...a shoe...a kleenex or whatever you could get into your mouth in just a matter of seconds. You were a bed hog...first starting out at the foot of the bed...then slowly creeping up tp the top until your head was laying along side mine on the pillow. Oh how I wish I had those days back!!

Althought it wasn't long enough...we had ten and a half wonderful years together. That time went by way to fast and finally we had to say goodbye. You know...I don't even know your true birthdate...but I made it the day you came to live with us...June 1st 1997.

Even though my heart has healed some...there will always be a part of it missing that you took with you the day you left us.

I Love You!!!! :hearts:

~~~~June 1st 1997--June 14th 2007~~~~

This was soo sweet... and sad at the same time.

The hole never closes but as you know it does get a little smaller with time. She would want it that way.
