My Dippy,
I feel as though I owe this to you. You lived such a short 2 and 1/2 years with us. If i could have laid in bed for ten more minutes, maybe this would not have happened. I ask myself over and over what if I went this way, or left later or earlier
maybe this would not have happened. you did nothing wrong, The car speeding down our street while we , being jamie my daughter, and mystical my other dog was tied on their leashes but dippy decided to pull on hers and pulled right out into this speeding car, there was car parts everywhere, the driver was more concerned for the parts than you. he said he would stop back by to discuss paying the vet bill, well you guessed it he never came. i dont care about the money, its the principle. so i all over that now, now lets talk about my dippers.you were born on jan,15,1999 and you were the cutest black lab butterball. what was there that we did together and you never liked?Dippy loved to go to the dog park everyday, so you and Mystical and Dippy went and we spent many hours there, you met so many friends there. rudy, fly, lucky & penny, max & tabitha, zues, and so many more. they will all miss you.when we went to the doggy park all i would say was want to go to the park?, you and mysti would be waiting by the front door for me.You always waited for momma at the front window until i pulled up in the car, as soon as you seen my car you start whining until i walked into the house. and when i had plastic bags you always knew you was getting a nummie. the most precious to me is when i went to bed you came right along with me and get up on our water bed and curl up in between daddy and i . what i really will miss is when daddy got out of bed an hour earlier than us, and as soon as daddy got up you came to his spot and laid your head where his head was on, some nice warm pillow, and i covered you with our blanket and you loved it. I will miss you like no one will understand. I will remember how you would lick all of my tears whenever i cried as if you were saying "its going to be ok momma" If I could do one very important message out there to everyone driving it would be when ever you see people, kids, dogs, cats, or baby strollers. PLEASE slow down always. you would still be here with me, if he had slowed own and if he would have stopped. it is a tragic accident and it can happen to any of us. the drivers explanation for speeding was he was running late for church, and he told me in a hurry he would pray for dippy. he also said he would come back t io pay for the vet bills, i have not seen him since, and i do not care to, i dont want his money. i know pray for him, and his unsafe driving. i hurt for you so much, you will never know. me seeing and hearing the whole thing has really crushed me. What gives me peace is that DR. molly was with you and so was lisa my daughter, bob, my husband, and joanie a good fried of lisa they both work with dr. molly. it gives me great peace to know you could see and hear and feel all of them up to your very last breath. I was there Dippy, i was outside ans I stuck my head in the door every 12 minutes, and they said you could hear my voice, so you knew i was there, i am sorry i was not in the same room but i would have upset you too much.I am making two promises to you , the first one is i will do something about speeding cars in residential areas, and my second promise is i will meet you on that bridge, that beautiful rainbow bridge. You brought me so much joy in the two 1/2 years, and i will cherish them always and forever. I know we will meet again one day. God Bless you Dippy. Run in the meadows, go play with Molly and all the other doggies. just do not forget one day i will be coming on that bridge and i am going to say to you "momma's home". i love you forever and always.........momma
