4/16 Hi little guy! You left us today, and are already on Rainbows Bridge with Bailey. We already miss you so much and always will. We will visit you daily so we can let you know how we are and to see how you are doing. You are no longer in pain. Rest In Peace and enjoy Rainbows Bridge. Mom & Dad 4/17 Good Morning our little man, Here we are the day after losing you, having much time to reflect on how much joy you provided us in the 13 years that you were with us on earth. It was a difficult night for us since you weren't with us in bed, and to wake up to. We hope that your first night in Rainbows Bridge was a good one and that you rested peacefully. You will now get to meet your family members and many friends on Rainbows Bridge and Doggie Heaven. They look forward to seeing you again. Several people paid you a visit yesterday and left us soothing comments about you and our family. That meant a lot to us. We miss you so much and always will. As promised, we will visit you every day so we can see how you are doing and let you know how we are. That is important to us. Have a good first day our boy. You will hear from us again tomorrow morning. Love you! Mom & Dad 4/18 Good Morning Our Little Guy, How was your night? We hope you are resting and making new friends and enjoying Rainbows Bridge. You are now back home with us as we picked up your Urn at Shannon's yesterday. We love it and have it displayed on your section of the Bookshelf near Bailey. We also received a beautiful Commemorative stone with the following inscribed on it, "Forever in our hearts COLBY, with a paw print. It was given to us by Patty & Michael, our friends. That was so nice and thoughtful of them. We love it and have it on your shelf. As we are sure you know, we are struggling without you, yet, our fond memories of you are holding us together and always will. We think of you all day, and miss you so much! I started playing golf again as Mom and others encouraged me to, to help me. Remember how you sulked and went in to your crate when you knew I was leaving to go play golf? Yet, when I got home, who was the first to greet me, COLBY, who was so excited to see me. I cherish those memories. Have a good day today little man! We will talk to you in the morning. Love you!
