"IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY, AND MEMORIES A LANE,
I'D WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN, AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN."
SHELLIE YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE WHEN YOU WERE JUST 5 WEEKS OLD. THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT STOLE MY HEART. EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE BOUGHT FOR TRACY, YOU BECAME MY DOG. YOU AND I SHARED A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF LOVE BETWEEN US. YOU ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO WRAP ME AROUND YOUR LITTLE PAW.
I SPOILED YOU ROTTEN. IN TURN YOU DONE THE SAME BY ME. SHELLIE I MISS OUR LATE NIGHT PLAY TIME WHEN I COME HOME FROM WORK. I GET PRETTY LONELY AT TIMES WHEN IT'S TIME FOR BED BECAUSE YOU AREN'T HERE. BUT ONE THING FOR SURE LITTLE DARLING YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU. I VISIT YOUR GRAVE EVERYDAY AND TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE AND MISS YOU.
CHELSEA AND MOM MISS YOU TOO. WHEN CHELSEA GETS UPSET SHE CRIES FOR YOU WANTING HER SHELLIE BACK. IT'S HARD TO GET A 3 YEAR OLD TO UNDERSTAND THESE KIND OF THINGS.
SHELLIE WE HAVE 2 NEW DOXIE PUPS NOW JUST LIKE YOU. THEY CAN NEVER TAKE YOUR PLACE IN MY HEART BUT WE LOVE THEM VERY MUCH. MAGGIE AND CUPCAKE LOVE CHELSEA AND WILL LOOK AFTER HER FOR YOU. CUPCAKE IS VERY LOVING LIKE YOU AND MAGGIE LOVES TO SLEEP WITH ME JUST THE WAY YOU DID.
SHELLIE I WILL NEVER SAY GOOD BYE TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. SO TILL THEN YOU CAN SHINE ON US FROM YOUR OWN STAR AND KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOU MAY BE GONE FROM THIS EARTH BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. AT LEAST NOW YOU AREN'T SUFFERING WITH THAT CANCER AND YOU ARE PLAYING AND RUNNING AND SMELLING THE FLOWERS YOU LIKE SO MUCH.
SO UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN LITTLE DARLING, JUST REMEMBER I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. ONE DAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. I NEVER KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE TO LOVE ONE DOG SO MUCH.
ALL MY LOVE TO YOU,
CAROLYN
