BELOVED TROY, BOY

You were so adorable when I picked you up at 12 weeks of age. You were a happy little puppy, even when I told you off. You never once showed me that you were hurt or angry. You always wanted to play, you loved your freezbe so much you would never leave its side.

As each year went past you still wore that smile, with your eyes sparkling as if you were still that little puppy I brought so long ago. Even til your last breath you were still happy, not showing me any pain. I just wish I could have carried that pain instead. I'm going to miss your smiling face, the way you talked to me, your happiness to play and your quiet times as you lay beside me. All the happy times we've had, can’t measure the pain and numbness.

I feel now with you gone, but you will never be gone in my heart as I know you will always be with me, by my side. Nothing will ever replace you, I love you so much, you were my child; a kid at heart.

On the 21/02/04 I brought a companion home for you, (Chloe, a sharpie X) so you would never be alone. I didn't really want a 2nd dog but I was thinking of you Troy and I had feeling in the pit of my stomach. Troy didn't have much time with Chloe as I regrettably had to put him to sleep on the 16/04/04 from Cancer. He was only 8 years old.

I still can't believe you are gone; Chloe and I are going to miss you so much.

I want to send a special thanks to Graeme Fitzgerald from Ranford Veterinary Hospital and Sharon Allegretta for everything they did for me and Troy. I was very touched that Graeme donated to the Caring for Pets Fund for the memory of Troy.
