I will always remember the day we picked you up at the airport and what a beautiful baby girl you was. Each time I held you and the kisses you always gave me. The long nights of crying and I thought we would never sleep again. The first night you slept all night,I woke up and had to check on you as I thought something was wrong with my little girl. Shortly afterwords you moved to our bed and slept with us every night. The funny way you would slide yourself to the top right between us. Your soft kisses that woke me each morning and the sweetness in your eyes always ready for a new day and a new adventure.
I will always remember what fun we had at puppy class and how everyone including the trainer fell in love with you. The funny way you would crawl to me on your come command with you butt high in the air as everyone was laughing at you including me. How easy it was for you to learn and master all your commands. How you looked forward each day to our training time. The day you graduated and how proud your Daddy and I was of you.
I will always remember when I had my accident and had many surgeries to repair my shattered ankle and leg. The tears you washed away when I spent weeks lying on the couch unable to walk. You were my only friend as the world kept turning and I could not be part of it. The weeks of therapy it took for me to learn to walk again and you were there each painful step I took. The slow easy walks you took with me and never once pulled on your leash or ran ahead of me. How careful you were never to jump on my leg as it healed and how you always knew when it was a bad day. How you loved to play but on those days you would lay quietly with me. Months later how happy you were when we could take long walks again.
I will always remember how funny you were and how you could pull out your toys faster than I could pick them up. How you always helped me with the laundry and would so proudly bring me the item that you pulled out of the dryer as we folded clothes together.
How you waited so patiently for me to slip you a treat from the dinner table and how could I resist with those gorgeous brown eyes looking up at me. What a special little lady you grew up to be,one that was so gentle and loving and one that knew me as well as I knew myself.
I will always remember my dear Dixie the morning you would not eat all your breakfast and asking you what was wrong. I worried about you all day and that night when you would not finish your dinner I knew something was wrong. The next morning when we went to the vet and all the test they run on you,assuring me you would be fine as you had never had a sick day ever. The call I received when your blood work was off and they needed to talk to me. The evening they told me you were having kidney problems,I thought I was going to pass out in the office and don't even know how I got home as I was crying so hard. The next morning we started you on treatments and each morning I took you to the vet,you never complained not once.
I will always remember our last morning as I knew in my heart you was not getting better and taking a turn for the worst as your kidneys were failing. As hard as it was for you...you came into the bathroom and laid at my feet as I got ready for our vet trip and when I reached down to get you...you had passed. I cried so hard I thought I could not breath and could not believe within such a short time you were gone. Quietly and peacefully you passed and once again watched over me as you knew I could not stand to see you suffer. Once again you never complained or even made a whimper.
I will always remember you and not one day goes by that I do not think about you. Even though your 8 years of life was cut way to short I thank God for each day and all the joys we shared together. Your love was very special and will never be touched by another,you were an angel that was here for me through some of the hardest times of my life and not once did you ever complain,you just kept loving and being your cute little self,always there and always happy.
It has taken me over two years to bring another cocker into our home but you know I need one to be happy. He is a good boy and does so many things that remind me of you. He loves to climb on the dryer and must pull something out every time just like you did. Even though he runs with it,I know one day he will proudly bring it just as you did. Each day that passes he looks more like you. I see you in his eyes sometimes right before he kisses me softly just as you did and it brings a smile to my face knowing you are there still watching over me. Till we meet again my dear Dixie I will always be thankful for everything you did for me and "I will always remember"
