In Loving Memory

After 12 happy years with him, our sweet Cody boy was diagnosed with Lymphatic cancer barely two weeks ago today. He was euthanized this past Friday morning (5-22-09) so as not to prolong his pain. He went peacefully and comfortably in mamas loving arms. We have a big rottweiler sized hole in our home and hearts for him. Below are just some words and tunes that helped me through the weekend.



My edit of Guns n' Roses "Don't Cry"

Talk to me
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know you feel
I understand your pain
Something's changing inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry
I still love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

You whisper "I love you" one last time
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the years we had together

Don't you cry
I still love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

And please remember that I've never cried
And please remember my happiness in this life
You got to make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sweetheart
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now

Don't you cry
Ill always love you baby girl
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
There's a heaven above us baby girl
so please don't you cry for me

RIP Cody
1997-2009

Thank you for that loving tribute to Cody. We miss him too, and it touched my heart to see his picture and know you feel that big hole that's inevitable when we lose a pet we've had in our lives for so long. The memories of the love they shared with us will last a lifetime. Please give yourself a hug from your fellow dog lovers!
