Memories of Sheba
Sheba was full of puppy kisses.. even at 14 1/2 years. Your love will be felt forever. Remember when you used to chew the paper towel rolls, just the cardboard tube.. we would play tug of war.
Piggy Piggy fights, long walks in the park, running after shelly and playing on the floor. Helping daddy cut the port normandy.You love holidays, getting presents. No matter where I have been over our years you have not been far. Always by my side at work, play, holidays, LIFE. The love you gave us, the joy you gave us, and yes the backtalk you gave us. Your voice is wonderful everyone got a special greeting and everyone wanted a greeting. How mad you would get if we smelled of someone else you would turn you head and say.. I'm mad and now you have to wait until I am happy. Riding in the car with mommy and daddy telling us you knew we were close to where we were going and yelling at the airplanes flying over the roadway. We would go to the special drive-in and get hamburgers. The way you stayed by my side during really hard emotional years and always kissed my tears away, pulling me into your world so that mine did not hurt as much. Remember how you trained all the Grandsons who was the boss. You loved to hide your food and treats in Shelly's bed and under her bed and in the covers, how she screamed when she found it. Daddy built you special beds and made special harnesses for you as you got older, your would tell him if changes had to be made just by snarffing at him and giving him the look of ..well fixit better and he would. Sheba the hugs you gave me filled my heart on a regular basis. How you touched people, how they would fall in love with you so fast and beg for a kiss and after a while you would give them a little kiss and they would light up.. if they only knew what real Sheba Kisses were.. nose knocking off my glasses, so you could get the tears.. big wet kisses after you ate so we could smell mighty dog.. and the more you loved someone the more you would talk and purr like a cat.. shelly's special sound was almost like a whale moan.. and you would do it over and over and over.. Daddy has his special sounds.. and so did I. You let us know what you felt, you let us know you loved us with your whole being. And we were not allowed to stop rubbing your belly..until you said so.. PAWS UP.. was a I want more... Grabbing our hand with your paw and pulling it back to you was another signal. How you would come over and put your paw on my shoulder and say.. come closer I wanna kiss you. Then lets play.. piggy pigggy piggy puppet.. the stuffed hand puppet who always lost.. first it's stuffing then the eyes.. and ouch that hurts.. the stuffing is out and you can bite better. How fast you would run but you always listened to us. Never Never did you want a leash on.. they are not for Sheba. You listened, at the curb, in the park anywhere you listened without fail. Sheba, I miss you and I love you, and I will be there to get you so have fun and play with your friends until I come to get you. Love Mommy
12/31/05 Happy New Year's Sheba, I will miss you tonight. It has been five days since you left for the bridge and I miss you so much. Yesterday PJ brought you home and I held the box so close to my heart, and a funny peace came over me knowing you are safe back at home with us. Everyone misses you, I saw you near the sofa on Wednesday just for a second, and I was with you in my dream and as I was petting you I looked into your eyes and said but you left me and you comforted me as you did when you were here. I love you, my sheba-dog. I'll see you in my dreams and feel you in my heart. love mommy 1/16/06 It snowed, first snow since you left for the bridge, how I missed you going outside and sniffing the air and how you would rub your nose in the snow and get snow on your face, my life is so different without you, but I know you are waiting so in God's time we will meet again.
2/14/06 Happy Valentine's Day, Last night you came to me in my dreams again. Sheba you were out in the yard and started running
to me as I was standing on the deck, as you ran to me you started to grow younger and younger until you were a puppy, you jumped into my arms and I cried and cried and looked at you as after kisses, looked at you and said ... but you left.. then I woke up. I told daddy about the dream and as shelly came in the room she found me with tears in my eyes...I started to tell her I had a dream only to be told that she had a dream... and before I could tell her my dream she told me hers. Shelly's dream was identical to mine. the same dream, the same night, shelly birthday and Valentine's day eve. Sheba you visited with us. You told us you are running and playing and it is ok and that you
are waiting for us. We miss you so much, Thank you for that visit. We love you bunches and bunches and more. Love Mommy
Hi woobie, it is your birthday week and you came to visit. I was sitting in my chair and I felt you bump me like you always used to, then when I said it was time to go I saw a blur come out from under the table and head for the door. I miss you sheba, it was five months ago today that you left for the bridge and not a day goes by that I don't miss you and think of you. Have I said Thank you to you for all the joy and all the love that you brought to our lives. well Thank you sheba. Mommy loves you.
