Dear:

Dear Shelby,

I still can't believe you're gone. I just filled your little tummy with treats yesterday. I loved you so much, and I still do. It was like you were my own puppy. After losing both of my labrador retrievers, it was such an amazing feeling having a little lab just like you in my life.

You reminded me so much of my little snow pea, who will have passed away two years now in November. However, you definitely had your own little sparkling & charming personality. You had me wrapped around your little paw. Your sweet eyes melted me every single time that I saw you.You may have been my Boss's dog, but you were mine, too. Everyday you visited me & stayed inside of my office & you were the brightest part of my day.

When I came to work this morning and looked for you, I couldn't believe you were gone. I know that you were 18 yrs. old, but you had the spirit of a puppy. You seemed just fine yesterday. Especially when you stole those treats I had hidden for you out of my bag.

I can't believe I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. I'm crying all over again. Golly, I miss you.

You are in God's loving care now. Have fun playing with my little snow pea & Doc. I'm sure they greeted you with wagging tails & lots of kisses.

I love you,

~Michelle ("Ally")
