A Year Ago Today

A year ago today I cried my final good-bye to you
I held your face as you left us behind. Unable to find
the words that would console your Dad or me. I miss you
I miss everything that you were and still are in my heart.

Sometimes I hear your barking - GRUMP!GRUMP!GRUMP!
can you hear me now GRUMP!
I miss baby bird day and seeing that doggie smile on your face.
The one that said - MOM! Its baby bird day!
I miss cooking you Lasagna because it was truly Gods food.
That and cheese and pork...mmmmmmmmmmnummmnummmnumm
I miss tossing cookies to you where you were consistant only in
bouncing them back with your nose.
I miss hearing your excitement when the weather is cooler because
its Daddy and his little boys favorite time of year.
I miss drying you off and watching you wiggle like a maniac.
I miss hearing the sound of the cabinet door being hit because you
want a cookie.
I miss snuggling in bed with  you as you beat up Tigger.
I miss racing to bed with  you to see who was going to get more
space.
I miss your ever so little Schultzy kisses.
I miss how you use to climb in my lap to watch TV
I miss freaking you out with my feet.
I miss laying on the floor with you and just staring at you for hours.
I miss calling your name on a walk because I knew you were up to no good
I miss you being busy busy all the time except for when you were sleeping
What I miss most of all is coming home to you and you being so happy to
see me and tell me about your day. I remember all of your stories.

I think of you every single day. Sometimes I look at pictures of you and I cry.
Sometimes you come visit me in my dreams and I'm so happy to see you. I carry
a piece of you around my neck and have you with me every day. I love you so
much Schultzy. I hate that you had to leave us. I hope somebody up there is
singing you the cookie song. C double O K-I-E hmmmmm hmmmmm.

I love you fuzzy pants with all my heart.
