Conner Martin

  I made the hardest decision I have ever made in my life today, I let my best buddy in the whole world go. His name was Conner. He was 5 years and 8 months old. Conner came to me as a gift when he was only 8 weeks and 2 days old. He and his brother Rushton (who also came to me that same day) where the cutest little rascals. Rushton was into everything and Conner, being the Angel that he was, just tried to follow. We noticed a little clumsiness when he would climb stairs etc. We came to the conclusion at 6 months that had a rare degnerative disease that eventually caused him to loose most control in all 4 limbs (over several years). He could still eat, drink and go to the bathroom on his own. And heaven forbid he see another dog outside and he would be across the yard before you knew it! He also followed me anywhere in the house I didn't take him (he could scoot fairly well).  He was the happiest spirit I know. Loved life and LOVED me! He brought so much joy and happiness to my life. He made it through so much, including the fight through lymphoma cancer that finally took his quality of life. We met some amazing people thanks to him, everyone that met Conner referred to him as special. Though so true, that's quite an under statement. He touched your heart just knowing him for mere seconds. There will never be another like Conner. He was my bud. He had the face and spirit of an Angel.

 

Conner,

    I love you so much. I can't imagine my life without you. I know you will always be here with me and I can't wait for the day we will be together again. Until then, run, jump, eat, sleep.... before you know it, I'll be there.

Conner,
I light this candle to honor the memory of my angel Conner. He was our precious baby, always happy, loving and even though his little body grew weaker his spirit grew stronger. He would bark the loudest ( sometimes just to get his brother started and in trouble) and be the first to protect. He took any and all meds without batting an eye. Everyone who met him loved him and he loved them right back. Yes Conner you were and always will be our special angel and we love and miss you every day. Now that you are free from any pain and a body that was holding you back, I know you are filling the heavens with love and happiness. I also know that we will be together again someday and I expect to hear you barking , and have you run and jump into my arms. Until then take care of your sister Carley, tell her we love an miss her too.

All my love until we meet again....Grandma
