Memories of FRED(STIR) JANELLE For 7 years you filled my life with the greatest of love... For this, I can only thank you, and God above. Seven years; - time sure does fly by!! It was way too early for us to have to say goodbye! :( You were the "son" I never had--- 'My Boy' A happy, ever playful beagle who always loved his toys!! :) We shared so much in those short 7 years... Mostly happy times! but there were a few tears.. And when I was so gloomy and cried and cried -- You, little Freddie, were right there by my side... Constantly kissing my face and giving me hugs galore! Who could have asked for anything more? "Mama" spoiled you, this I know.. But you were THE BEST BEAGLE from head to toe! You understood everything I said, I just know you did, my little Fred. I even had to spell sometimes in front of you -- Because words like "toy" and "ball" excited you so -- You just loved to play tug of war - but you would never ever let go!!! You had lots of "pet" names, my precious beagle -- "pudding eyes"; "My baby"; "Bunny", "Mama's Boy", "FredStir" "The Stir", "Fredo", and "FredRICK"(when mama was stern, or when you acted so proud and regal! You even knew my sign language - for "all gone", "get the ball" and "I LOVE YOU!", my favorite "sign" of All! I cherish every single moment I have shared with you!!! You always made me happy when I was depressed and blue.. I will hold you in my heart forever Fred! Although, no more stories can I tell you now -- Your book of life ended too brief... And I am left behind with just my overwhelming grief.... I know you loved me, as I loved you!! You are in a much better place-- A land just filled with treats, "lovely peas and carrots", plush teddy bears, and squeaky toys!! I know you will be happy there My BEST BEAGLE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!! I LOVE YOU! with all of my heart! God's speed, 'MY BOY' "
