Dear Max,

You are my fourth Schnauzer and I have loved you all differently, and without a doubt with all my love. But you have loved be back differently than my other wonderful dogs. You have bolstered me through loneliness, heartbreak and sickness. You are only eight years old and are dying of cancer, and I will not have you here with me in a couple of months. I won’t feel you next to me in bed at night, I won’t feel you staring at me to get me to feed you, or batting me with with your paw to get a foot massage. I will no longer walk with you on the beach, where you always have the biggest smile on your face and run around like a wild man–especially if you find a stick or get to swim with me. I will miss the look of love in your eyes and your hugs and baby kisses on my cheek. I can be here for you now and love you to the end. I will miss you very much. With all my love, may you go peacefully in your sleep next to me.

Faye Valentine,

Dearest Faye,
Faye baby,
Fayeby,
Faye Valentine,

I am writing you this letter to show just how much you mean to me. To everyone who knows you.

You may not like strangers, but when you get to know someone, you let them into your trust circle for life. Which is why people who are in that circle feel so special.

You make me smile whenever I see you. You come to me when I am crying and you sit with me.

When you are scared by an earthquake, you come to me to protect you. I will always protect you.
When you got lost after the big earthquake and couldn’t find your way home, I couldn’t sleep. I felt an emptiness inside me. When you finally found your way home I knew everything was going to be okay. I’ll never let you get lost again.

I love how, when I am dancing, you think I am playing with you, and you get so riled up. My dancing isn’t that bad is it?

I wish with all my heart that you will grow into a little old lady with us by your side.

You can have all the squeaky balls that you want.

We will always love you Faye.

Dear Snoot,

I miss my best friend Snoot.  He died May the 7th 2012. He was my road buddy. I will never forget the good times we had and shared. My heart is broken and I still think of him everyday. I hope if dogs go to heaven he will be waiting there for me. I never did know a person could fall in love with a dog so much. He was a part of me and still is. I did everything to save my best friend but cancer took his little life. Don’t ever forget little buddy that Daddy loves you and misses you more then anything in the world . I hope to see you at the rainbow bridge! Rest in peace little buddy Snoot, Daddy loves and misses you always.
