Good Bye

 Eddie left our family last night.
We are unable to take him with us to our next home.
My parents have been keeping him for us these past two years with the plan that we would take him back after school.
Well life doesn't go according to plan all the time.
We gave him away because it wasn't fair for him to be passed from home to home so much.
It's been a hard day knowing that my dear puppy is mine no longer.
I LOVE dogs.
I love their sweet puppy dog face that makes me smile each time they look up at me no matter how sad I am.
It's hard to console myself, saying I'll get another dog someday because I love Eddie so much.
I want him and his high energy nature.
People had a hard time liking him because he had so much energy but oh I loved it. 



Even though we haven't had him live with us for two years there are things that I will always remember and miss about him.
I loved him sleeping on my bed at me feet.
I could roll over and he would just stand up, wait for me to settle down and lay at my feet again.
I will miss him following me through the house all day, just wanting to be near.
I will miss him giving me kisses.
I will miss Scott saying Eddie Dog each time we go to my parents.
He'll keep saying it for a while and I know each time he will I'll want to cry when I say he's not there.
I'll miss Mark terrorizing him.
I miss taking him for walks.
I miss him making me feel safe when Mark wasn't home.
He was my dog and I love him.
Good Bye Eddie, I hope you'll forgive us for giving you away, we just want you to be happy.

That sounds sad and hard. It also sounds like it was the right thing to do. Sorry for the heartache, though!
