12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes…..

since we said goodbye buddy… but.. who’s counting?

I can’t believe a year has flown by.  There are some days where it just seems like it was last month or last week.  The tears are less..  and the smiles are more.. the memories and love are always there.

I’m surrounded by you every day…  I can feel you in my heart.. I pass by you every morning and night and I say “Hi Big Guy” or sometimes I just wink.  I do stop and say hello face to face ocassionally when we both need it.  A kiss on the collar, a kiss on the pawprint and my heart does good for the day.

Keep your eyes and ears open buddy, because I know Maggie will be joining you this year.  I feel it.  Welcome her quickly and show her around.  You know how she is… you guys are Ying and Yang.  Tell Diesel to keep an eye out as well.  The Three Amigos will once again be united!!! OLE!!!!

You are missed terribly, you know that.  You are talked about constantly.  And we know you have been telling Wilson to stay away from the stairs!!    He just won’t come near them.. and we see it in his face…. “Franklin said.. stay away from the stairs!!!”  But dude.. could you not tell him how to lie on the dang dawg bed instead??

I wanted to do a video of your life with us…  and here it is…  I hope everyone can see how pretty freaking amazing you were… and still are.  For the life of me I could not get music to attach to this video.  I had found a song that I really liked called  “Gift of a Friend” by Demi Lovato.  But I couldn’t figure it out how to get it to attach… gah!!  I was going to use the song by Bruce Springstein called “Your Missing” but I didn’t want this to be a sad video… I want smiles when people see it.,  soo… here is it with no music… sounds kind of boring.. doesn’t it?  lol

I tell you sweet boy… If love could have kept you here with us, you would’ve lived forever.

I will always love you.

I'm Canadian eh? living in Southwestern Ontario. My crew consists of my sweetie Fred, my son (25yrs) and my daughter (22yrs) as well as our 4 legged kids, Maggie (12yrs) and Wilson (1year). Franklin was my sweet boy who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2012. His leg was amputated on December 4, 2012. He was the cutest tripawd on this planet. He was happy every day. His tail was always wagging. Lung Mets took him from us on May 15, 2013. Rainbow bridge became a happier place with his arrival. We miss him terribly everyday. We lost our kitty in September 2012. Diesel, who was 18 1/2 years old when he passed at home, was (and still is) the Godfather. He is missed terribly by all. They are curled up together sleeping at the bridge under the stars, happy to be sleeping buddies again. View all posts by Christine
