6 months......

"We met, it seems, such a short time ago
You looked at me - needing me so
Yet from your sadness
Our happiness grew
And I found out I needed you too
I remember how we used to play
I recall those rainy days
The fire's glow
That kept us warm
And now I find - we're both alone
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there you'll always be
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there you'll always be" - The Fox and The Hound

How I miss you so Beau, it's coming on 6 months without you and feels like it was yesterday I made the choice to end your battle with cancer. I miss you more then words can say and my heart aches for you everyday. It kills me knowing you're gone my little "Copper" dog. I still remember almost naming you Copper after my favorite Disney movie. What I would do just to hug you one last time! What I would do to hear that bay, smell you, hold you...just touch you one last final time. I took you for granted and now that you're gone there is so much I regret. I wish I could take it all back.

I miss training with you and watching you roll in the grass. I miss telling you my hopes and dreams. I miss having my best friend around. I miss my shadow, my heart and my soul. You took a large part of my heart with you when you left and I deeply miss you. It's not the same.

I can't believe it's been 6 months without you boy. Six of the longest and hardest months of my life. I can finally smile at some of your memories, and I finally got to see a Beagle the other day and I didn't break down sobbing.

I miss you boy and hope you're happy at the bridge, maybe one day I'll get the courage to watch The Fox and The Hound again one day.

Happy Hunting Beau I love you and miss you so much my baby boy.
