I sit this morning wondering what ever went wrong; I keep asking myself if this is the right thing to do. I realize my own selfish ways wish to keep you alive but knowing that you are suffering makes me feel that now is the time to say goodbye. Know as I whisper in your ear, you will be in our hearts every day.

Copper, know that you were a devoted and loyal pet in every way. We will miss your ways of proudly protecting your turf, and us, especially picking fights with dogs that were twice your size. I will especially miss our play time in the living room with Joey and me. At times, it became physical but mommy would throw in the white flag in to say, "Game over" and you listened.

I will sadly miss the nights that I would tuck Joey in and would find your short legs on Joey's chest, and his arm wrapped around you holding you ever so tight. You were at peace.

Today, Copper Spot Foley xxxxxx V, know you are a bundle of joy and we love you very, very much. Mommy, Daddy, Joey and Jackie will miss you dearly. Although we will no longer see your copper colored coat glistening in the sun or your copper size penny eyes staring at us, know that you were my best friend, mommy's partner, Joey's buddy and Jackie's sweetheart. Your paws will forever live in our hearts.

Love always,

Mommy, Daddy, Jackie and Joey
