Dear Cal,

Cal

Six years ago, on a stroll through the local Texas shelter with your other dad, just to “look at and play with some dogs,” I saw a handsome, golden-eyed dog enthusiastically sniffing around his run. I asked the kennel attendant if I could spend some time with you and she brought you into the visitor room. After seeing your happy face, your floppy ears and those big gold eyes, I instantly knew you were my dog. I was too busy petting you and laughing at your bouncy personality that I didn’t immediately realize you were missing a back leg, freshly shaven with visible suture marks. It looked like a recent injury, and if I hadn’t intended on going home with a dog that day, after getting to know and how incredibly happy you still were after what you had overcome–I was definitely going home with a dog then.

It’s all history from there. You’ve shown me the utmost loyalty, Cal. Always knowing when I don’t feel well, you nudge your cold nose under my arm and gaze up at me comfortingly with those mesmerizing eyes. Your bursts of puppy-like energy remind me to enjoy life, and the endless unconditional love you give me every day (even at those times when I haven’t spent the kind of time with you that I would like to) fills me with such gratitude and warmth–every day! I feel so lucky to have found you that day at the shelter. Your two daddies love you very much. Thanks for being my best friend.

Dear Sophie,

Words cannot begin to describe what joy, happiness, and love you have brought to our family.

From the day we met, you remember….your first car ride? The whining we thought would never stop, the way you buried your little head in Mommy’s lap and were asleep by the third stoplight.

How we all just fell instantly in love with you the moment we met. You have an unconditional love towards us, as we do towards you. You run from your favorite “suntan location” in the bay window to the garage door whenever we come home, all the time, even though you may be waking from a nap (which is often).

We couldn’t imagine how different our lives would be without you. You complete this family and will be forever in our hearts as our little Sophie girl!
