Remembering Jeffrey

by Mary
(Thermopolis, WY)

Jeffrey the wonder dog was born on August 1, 1999 and left this world on June 7, 2010 after a sudden diagnosis of massive lung tumors. He had no pain and fell asleep in mommy's arms (that's me).

Jeffrey, also known as Boomer, loved sticking his nose in holes, swimming, sitting on mommy's lap, sleeping with mommy, Buddy-Glow-Ball, fresh green beans and carrots and plain yogurt. He was with us since he was 8 weeks old, so he knew only love and never knew the world can be a scary place, except of course for large things that moved, like wheelbarrows and big boxes--those were scary.

I hope he still visits me and sleeps on the bed when he's not busy running around in Heaven. I miss him so much I wonder if the pain will ever ease up.

You're a good boy Boomer. Thanks for being my forever soul mate. I wish we had more than the short 10 years on earth, but I know I'll see you again when it's my turn. The waiting is the hard part. Please come to me in my dreams.

Love, Mommy
