I remember all the time we spent together, side by side, sharing the love only true loyal friends can get strength from and never take for granted.

Watching you enjoy your walks in the yard as I watched from the door unable to join you but took joy in your unbrideled fun of being outside getting some “front-side air.”

I can still feel the pride as others told me how handsome you were and how we seem so happy together. I can still feel the pain after the doctor told me your time was short. My heart ached like nothing that can be explained.

I try to be thankful for the time we had. But nothing replaces the feeling of your warm breath on the back of my neck and turning over seeing you smile at me. I still hear the soft foot steps next to my bed and still find little tufts of your golden hair and wish I could see you one more time but that is not to be.

Spice and Sugar you may have been dogs to others but you were my friends, companions, and protectors. My love for the both of you still runs deep. When we meet again, I will love you all the more for the years of love and joy you brought to me.
