How Sad...

"Daunte"my special pug
by Kim Caron
I don't have a poem but a very broken heart. I cry everyday when I get in my car and see your collar hanging on my mirror. Daunte I am sorry Mommy left you at the vets, I know how you clung to me and you didn't want to be there. I promised to come get you and to be a good boy and you will get a special treat. I am sorry I had to starve you for that awful surgery, how you moaned with hunger. I am sorry that the vet did not save your life. I held you for an hour crying and kissing you and though you were very cold I still hoped you'd come back to me. Mommy can't stand the pain and I miss my grumpy little pug with his silly antics. You were my favorite of all the six puppies your mommy Zoey had. I sat up all night when you caught a cold so you could breathe. I even took you to work and carried you around like a baby. You were my baby, my silly little boy. I miss my wrinkley little boy. I miss seeing you run to the fruit tree and eating the fruit, I miss wiping your face because you were the messiest little boy. I miss your precious face laying on the sofa and I miss how you use to sit in the toy box and not let me touch your toys. I miss our game of tickling your belly and tug of war and most of all I miss my little shoe thief. I will not let anyone touch the dollar you stole and ripped when I tried to get it back. My heart aches for you Daunte, though you were 5 months old you stole my heart. I never felt such a bond and I still can't believe you are gone. It's not the same here with out you my baby. Please come home to Mommy. I pray Mommy Zoey has another special boy like you and I pray that it really is you. You deserved to live. Why I insisted you get neutered is beyond me. I should of left you alone. I want more time with you Daunte, I want to hug and kiss you and love you all over again. I wish my pain and guilt would subside. I will look for you when the time comes and I love you forever. I never want to forget you my precious boy. Daunte, Mommy loves you and sends you hugs and kisses and I'm sorry my baby, Mommy never wanted you to die. I promised to come get you and that's what I intend to do.

Here is a picture of Pugley I took today. I thought it would look really good in black and white...and well, it does! haha I think it's super cute. I wanna print it onto really nice photo paper and frame it. It's a tad dark around his muzzle, I think I'll lighten that up first! :)

For any of you that are crafty...I wanted to let you know that we have updated our Poochy Pattern website. There are at least 10 new patterns on there. The new ones have **NEW** after them. Enjoy!
