A Shih-Tzu by breed, Dudley was my baby boy. He was brindle in color with dark eyes and a tail that curved over his back when he was happy which was most of the time. Where ever I was Dudley was there also. He was 12 weeks old when I got him and he was with me for 12 years. He loved to get presents at his birthday and Christmas. When ever he saw a gift bag he thought it was something for him. If I were out of town for a few days he would lay near the door waiting for me to come home. He loved to go stay with my mother when my husband and I worked. He knew the way to her house and when we would get close driving over in the car he would get so excited to see her. He slept with me at night and was always by my side when I was at home. When he was about 11 years old he began to get sick and have heart problems. He died in my arms on Dec 9, 2007 at about 11:10 pm. I held him in my arms for about 2 hours then I laid him on one end of the sofa where he would sleep when I would sleep on the sofa. I also cut some of his hair to save. The next morning I carried him to our vet to have him cremated. His box is sitting on the table beside my bed. I cried everyday for months and still cry only not every day. I have gotten a new puppy his name is Rascal. There will never be another Dudley and I don't know that I can ever love another animal like I loved him. The only request I have made to my family when something happens to me is that Dudley will be buried with me.
Dudley
You brought me so much joy. You were always with me step for step. I love you and miss you very much.

Happy Birthday little man
You would be 15 years old if you were still here with me. I miss you so much. I look at your picture every morning. You gave me so much happiness. I love you always.

Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

Happy Birthday
Happy 14th Birthday my little man. I took you with me to work today so you wouldn't be alone. After work I went by Noo Noo's house. We wished you happy birthday, ate a piece of your favorite cake and cried a few tears. She wanted you to spend the night and keep her company, so I left you in her loving care. I also asked you to watch over her as you always did. I miss you just as much today and I did the day you passed. You make not be here with me alive but I always have you with me. Love you my precious Dudley.

A SECRET
Author Unknown
"We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass."
A letter from your pet in heaven
Author Unknown
To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."
Dudley
Christmas has come and gone and today is the first day of the new year. I still miss you so much. Rascal my new puppy will be a year old on the 20th of Jan. He will never replace you but he does remind me of you. He follows me everywhere just like you did, I even call him Dud sometimes. Noo Noo misses you so much also. She has your picture sitting beside her chair and she talks to you all the time. The holidays were sad without you. I love you and miss you.
Mom
Dudley
One year ago today you passed away. I still miss you very much. Sometimes when I'm calling Rascal I will call your name instead. I will never forget you.
Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he'll be waiting at your door.
Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
that’s all he'll ask of Thee.
