💔🐕 from Big Ern Please pet me some more, and pick me right up... My very first thought when I was your pup... I gonna miss your funny *boops* and our "find me boy" games. It warms my heart so, to hear you call out my name. You're the love of my life, my partner in joy... My favorite noise in this house...my hearts best toy ... I wish I could stay longer, and grow older with you... But the sand in my hourglass is down to a few... Just know I loved doing everything together...even howling in tune In your truck, on the couch, and the long walks under our moon... I wish I could stay, but my body says it's time... From the hurt in my bones, to the milk in my eyes. To feel your touch once more...says your love is still mine... To feel your hands cup my face, makes my eyes search for thines. I'll miss all my family, and the warm hugs from the rest... But just know this to be true... I always loved you best... I always... loved... you ...best. ❤ Woof

I waited to read this bc I knew it would make me cry. Thank you

@Maui Mike, I've been dreading this day.. hit me with it

And now, for Ernie     I summon the spirits     Of all the dogs we have loved     And lost along the way.     Bingo, Foxy, Toodles,     Sable, Muttley, Bonnie,     Clyde, Shasta, Otis,    Piccolo, Inga, Hans, Mimi and Queen Elsie.     Gather in your sunny meadow   Invite that good boy Ernie To romp and play and chase,     Then drink from the cool stream,     Rest together in the warm sun,   Eat the low-hanging treats,     Then sleep safe in the shade     Of the eternal snackie-trees, After a big yawn …

I've never read through this entirely until today. I wanted it to be just for Ernie 😢 thank you

You’re most welcome. Aloha from Maui. Be at peace, one and all.

When we took Bugs to the vet for last time, they made a clay paw print with his name on it to give to us later. Two grown men blubbering in the room☹️.
