(picture a 90 pound chocolate Labrador, female,) 

To my devoted and loving companion Leah.

When you came into my life I was burdened.

When you left my life I was broken.

I am overwhelmed now with sorrow and loneliness,

And cannot bear the thought of living life without you.

However, as I do, you will live on forever within me.

As I learned from you the satisfaction of having such a

devoted,forgiving, loyal and supportive friend that 

shared continuous unconditional love.

The wound created in me by your loss is to large to heal.

I will try packing it full of our loving memories together.

It is true that dog is mans best friend.

And I am sure that I will see you on the other side.

Because of your love for me, which has contributed to me 

"being". I have concluded that God must have a dog, and

has made room for plenty more.

Until I see you again, 

Please, Sit, Stay, Be a good girl.

I LOVE YOU !

Pat.
