Description: Journaling:
Dear Sparkie,
You came into our home on January 4, 1997.
You were just a puppy & only 4 weeks old.
You quickly filled our hearts with love & gave everyone a smile.
Everyone around town always wanted to take you home.
You kept our feet warm at the end of our beds.
You always watched for squirrels & were eager to chase a cat.
You loved to chase the big rock on the porch & make everyone laugh.
I loved to carry you around & pet you on the couch.
You licked ice cream from a stick & shared pepsi & ice with Dad.
You loved to go for a ride with Mom & play fight with Jamie.
You became Eli's buddy & always loved to play.
You were friendly & you loved each of us in a special way.
You were a loyal friend and never let any of us down.
Everyone fell in love with you as soon as they saw you.
You still looked like a puppy, even at the age of 12.
The last few months were hard but we managed to get by.
You have been with us at every Christmas since 1997.
We never saw it coming that this would be your last Christmas.
You were a very big part of our lives & you will be missed.
The window seat is empty but your memory lives on.
December 5, 1996 - March 12, 2009
