R.I.P Sage





1999-2010

Dear Sage ....

I miss you so much! I had a hard time sleeping last night without the lullaby of your snore. When I got up you were not there for me to trip over, I almost forgot to feed Lucy breakfast, because you were not there to remind me.

I remember the day that we went to go and bring you home... 11.5 years ago. You were so small and sweet and then you grew and grew, until you weighed as much as me. You took me for walks, you showed me how to just lounge in the pool water - never swim. You showed me how to run in the snow until your paws were frozen. You showed me how to clean the floor better than any broom. Best of all you showed me how to be a loyal friend.... you were always excited to see me, always by my side and when I would move to a new place, so would you. Thank you for taking such good care of Rylie and Ella... you were always so gentle and patient with them as they arrived.

I am sad now, but I know my heart will heal knowing that in Heaven you are running and playing. Ella said that she knows you are eating biscuits in Heaven and that makes us happy knowing that you feel better now.

We will never forget you.

Love,

M

  1. I miss him too. Before the girls came, when I would visit, Sage was my nephew. He was the one I would buy gifts for. He was the one that I would cuddle on the couch with. He was the one that slept on my bed.
    He was also the one who stole my socks, the one that one time rolled the electric window down on my car so much that he was halfway hanging out the car, the one I would have to pull the car off to the side of the road for because he was "misbehaving".
    I will miss him too.

  2. Thanks for remembering Sage. You also helped me remember about when he was younger... he would sleep in bed with me. Dan would get up in the morning and Sage would jump in bed and take over his spot with his head on the pillow. I loved that.
