Shaylene, I can’t even begin to express what you have meant to me of these last 14 years.  You were pure love.  You never gave me a bit of trouble.  You were always so happy all the time.  You were patient and loving all the time.  You were an angel here on earth, so I’m sure God will give you your wings quickly.  If there is food up in Heaven I only hope that they have whipped cream for you.  I really miss you greeting me a the door when I come home, with your cute little puppy voice and the tail that would wag so hard that your back end would wiggle.   I always loved watching you walk in front of me, with your hind end sashaying in the wind.  You always knew you were a very special little girl and everyone would always say how beautiful you were.  It’s no surprise that you won 1st place in the dog show.

You were my honey bunny, chickadee, my baby girl, my little girl, my sweetie pie, my Shay-Shay.  You never minded my singing “you are my Shay-Shay, my only Shay-Shay, you make me happy when skies are grey, you’ll never know shay, how much I love you, please don’t take my Shay-Shay away.”

shay, I loved you from the time I brought you home.  You’ve always done so many cute things, and I’ll keep them in my heart forever.  I was not ready for you to go, but I’m glad you don’t have to deal with the cold and snow this winter.

Your soul went to Heaven on the 7th, a heavenly number, and today, its only fitting that you’ll be cremated on Veterans Day, since your Daddy was a Veteran.

I hate saying goodbye to you.  You’ll always be my baby, my very favorite.  So go to Jesus and give him some of your wonderful Kisses.  Mommy will be there as soon as God calls me home, and i’ll be listening for your wonderful greeting.  I love you Shaylene, with all my heart and soul.  I miss you baby. Xoxoxo

Lord, you gave me my little girl for too short a time.  Now please, take her in your arms and love her until I get there.  Don’t let her be lonely or afraid.  She likes to go to bed at 7:00, so please tuck her in.  Thank you Jesus.  I love you.  And please help me be strong.  In the name of Jesus Christ, or Lord.  Amen.
