How I miss my shadow. I will always love you, my first born. I will never ever forget you. Thank you for all your years of unconditional love.

Dakota, we miss you more than anything, we were not ready to let go, even though you told us over the past few weeks. We only wish for one more day, we loved you then and still love you now. MacKenzie, Jasmine, and Otis miss you much. Harley misses you the most, and Sheba will probably be with you soon, even though we are not ready for that. You were a gentle soul, you made us laugh, you made us cry, Mom, Dad, Bob(your best friend) and I miss you much. Until we meet again, we love you.

Today I let you go to end your pain, but the pain in my heart will always be. I know you needed to go, but it was hard to accept you not being here every day to greet me. Walks will not be the same without you. Thank you for your time with us. I will miss you.

Dakota, I remember the 1st day I picked you up at the airport, you were shaking and kissing me ever so much. I then remember taking you home, you barked for 4 hours straight in your crate, and yes, I did get up and put you to bed with me!! You are such a doll, and only lived a short 4 1/2 years, the infections/pneumonia did get the best of your breathing and lungs, you are now in peace....keep running those hills and playing and staying happy cuz one day Dakota, I will be there to greet you!!!xx

You were with us for less than a year, but you have cemented paw prints into our hearts. You will never be forgotten, Doda.
