My heart is so broken today. My little shadow and best buddy died this morning at home. He was always next to me or following me where ever I went. As I write this now I am looking in the corner where his bed was to see him waiting there for me. He would sit on my lap in the mornings while I drank my coffee, he would jump at the side of the bed in the mornings to wake me up or to get in bed to snuggle. To say he was my constant companion is just not enough.
He was such a good, loving, gentle little guy.

When we got him we had a terrier named Rusty Girl, Frankie loved her and would snuggle up close to her to sleep. He would play tug of war with a rope toy with her and it always seemed that Rusty let him win. They were best friends. Frankie got sick when she died in 2012, he recovered but had an ongoing illness that would flair up and he would recover. This time was different. The vet wanted to keep him 3 days for treatment but I took him home. I knew he wasn't going to get well this time. I needed and he needed to just be home together.

He loved his walks and would stop at every tree. He sniffed everything in front of him. He loved his tiny toys, we named them all and he could get each one as we called out the names. His favorite was an old handball, just his size, he would play fetch 24/7 if he could, he loved that ball. We placed all his toys around him as he lay in his bed.

It is lonely in the house tonight without him, It's hard to even sit on my couch because he's not here curled up next to me. I know he's not suffering anymore and he's running and chasing his ball. I just wasn't ready for him to go yet, he was my family and I'll miss him more than anyone will ever know.
Rest now my little Frankie, you'll always be in my heart.

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

The Heart Of A Dog
It came to me that every time
I lose a dog they take a piece
of my heart with them,
and every new dog
who comes into my life
gifts me with a piece
of their heart.

If I live long enough,
all the compponents of
my heart will be dog,
and I will become as
generous and loving
as they are.
