Kara

Kara came into our lives in September of 1999. I was out trying to find a birthday present for my husband. I must admit I was originally looking for a small breed dog, but when I came across this beautiful and playful rottie, I just knew that she was the perfect choice. Kara sealed the deal by putting her little paw up on the cage when I asked her if she was going to be a good girl if I took her home. My husband thought I was crazy for buying a breed that I did not know anything about but I assured him that I would learn. Well, from that day Kara was daddy's little girl and there was nothing I could do about it. I never knew that rotties could be so stubborn, sneaky and wonderful. Kara was an absolute joy and is the best dog that either of us has ever had in our lives. I did learn quickly that Kara was true to her breed in every way. If she did not want to move over in the bed...she didn't and she would give you that growl and grunt to let you know. I have never had a dog give me so much attitude the way she did. If she was told to do something that she did not want to do such as sit or down, she would do so reluctantly but she would huff as she was doing it just to let you know that she was not happy about it. Kara had a personality that made us laugh every day. Kara was our only "child" for the first 8 years and when I got pregnant everyone was telling us that we would have to watch Kara very close around the baby because she would be jealous. Granted Kara was spoiled rotten and definitely used to getting all of the attention. I must admit I was a little nervous when we first brought the baby home. Kara was so excited and she wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. Kara quickly showed us that she was going to be best friends with this new "addition" to the family. If Kaylan was on the floor, Kara was close by to watch over Kaylan and protect her. Kaylan would smile and laugh everytime Kara came into view. We hate that Kaylan and Kara never got a chance to grow up together. Kara was the perfect dog and was willing to share mommy and daddy. Kaylan enjoyed every second she had with Kara and still smiles and laughs when she sees pictures of Kara.

Kara...we loved you and thought of you as our first child. We always wanted the best for you and we enjoyed every day that you were here with us. You gave us more joy and unconditional love than we ever expected. It absolutely devastated us to let you go, but we knew we could not be selfish and keep you here in pain. We hope that you are somewhere having fun playing with your ball or duck waiting on us to join you. We miss you more than anything in this world. We Love You Angel!

	Hello Pumpkin! I passed by Pet Smart tonight & you just don't know how much it took to keep it together. I know that it was your favorite place to go. Why wouldn't you love it with all the attention you got & more treats than you should have. I would give anything to be able to take you just one more time. I hope that wherever you are now....you are getting lots of attention & an endless supply of treats. Mommy loves you Angel!

	Hello Pumpkin.....Me, Daddy & Kaylan still miss you every day. Kaylan makes sure to blow you a kiss & smiles every time she sees your picture. We are all saddened once again due to Prince joining you today. We hope that you will look after him. I hope that you two will play & have a great time. We all can't wait to see you both again. Please look after Prince & try not to aggravate him too much!!!! We love you Angel.

	Hey Care Bear. Here it is almost a year later & the sting is still as strong as the day you left us. Tonight was so hard without you. Kaylan did really good getting into everyone's presents but she sure would have liked your help. Daddy & I know how much you liked to help open presents. I miss you so much Care Bear. Nothing is the same without you here. Please know that we think of you & miss you every day. You could never be replaced or forgotten. Merry Christmas Angel! XOXOXO

	Hello Angel! I can't believe that it has been a year since I last held you. Even though it has been a year it still hurts & stings like it was that dreadful day. It is not fair that you had to be taken from us. I hate that you & Kaylan are not enjoying this time together. She would love playing with you until you were both were knocked out. I am grateful that you are not in anymore pain as we can see now looking back. We knew that we wouldn't be able to keep you forever, but we honestly hoped that we would have had just a little more time. It's so hard not having you here to play with Kaylan. You were the perfect dog & would have been the perfect companion for Kaylan. You were the best listener, distraction & friend anyone could ever ask for. I miss you every day. I hope that wherever you are, you are having a blast & eating the best of everything you want. You deserve absolutely the best! I love you always pumpkin & I will never forget you! Love, Mommy

	Hello Angel! I can't even begin to describe how much I miss you girl. I miss taking you to all the places that you loved to go. You were always so well behaved. People always commented on how well you listened especially when we were at Petsmart. You always made us proud. Kaylan blows you a kiss every morning and smiles everytime she sees a picture of you. I hope that you are running around playing and getting everything you want baby girl. You deserve it. You were the perfect companion. I will never forget you and I will always love you girl!
