Stanley

Stanley our beloved English Springer Spaniel died in the wee hours on March 16th 2008. He was the most gentle and loving dog that we have ever known. Affectionately known to us as the Velvet Fog, after close to 13 years of unwavering companionship we are all going too miss him a tremendous amount! Rest now Stanley, you are finally at peace.

Love your Family .

	A more gentle and loving pet I've never witnessed. Right up until your last days you were always my little puppy, my running mate, my best pal and most importantly my little velvet fog. I miss you sorely but will never forget you my little puppy.

	I would give a year of my own life just to see you for one more day. I just keep picturing your lifeless body lying still in the snow as your spirit danced above you and it upsets me. I just wish I was there to comfort you in the snow, and feel your soft fur against my skin for one last time. I should have been there. Every time I walk in the door, I expect to see you staring back at me with anticipation. Then I walk inside, and realize Ill never see you again. Your picture sits on the mantle, but your dishes are packed away, and I realize youre not sleeping in the laundry room anymore. I miss hearing your nails click against the hardwood floors, your smelly ears, and how you always begged me for food. I was so annoyed when you did that, but Id give anything to have it back, if only for a moment. I miss the way you always slept on my clothes, and sat on the couch to watch TV with me. I miss looking over my shoulder when I am cooking and seeing you there smiling at me. I still find your hair in my food, and it gives me a brief reminder of you. I can still see your paw prints scattered though the back yard, which are slowly being melted away by warmer weather. Most dogs are unhappy before they die, but you still managed to keep a positive attitude until your last heart beat. You struggled sometimes to keep up with me on walks, but you persevered until we made it back home. One of my last happy memories of you is lying with you in the laundry room, just petting you. Then we went for a 2 am walk, and ran around outside in the snow. You looked so happy. I know that I didnt always pay attention to you throughout my life, and I have certain regrets, but I grew so close to you over the last few years. I know you were very sick, and youre in a better place now. I could see the hurt in your eyes sometimes, and it made me so sad. You are my baby dog. You are the gentlest dog Ive ever met, and I can say without a doubt that Ill never find another dog as great as you. I hope youre in heaven waiting for me, playing in the snow with your brothers and sisters. I will wait an eternity to see you again, and I cant wait. I love you boy. So so much.
