My beautiful girl Polly had to be put to sleep on the 27th April 2004.Myself,Maria and Zap are devastated.It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.We all miss Polly so much.

This is my letter to Polly.

 

Dear Polly,

I never wanted to have to write a letter like this to you Poll.I always wanted you to live forever,but something as beautiful as you could never live forever.......but you are safe in my heart for eternity.

The day after you died,myself and Zap got up early......I couldn't sleep.We went for a walk,and ended up at the bank on the stadium field.You and me have sat up here so many times,do you remember Poll?We have sat and I have talked...you listened,understanding,comforting,loving me,what ever the problem was.We were so close.....so many wonderful memories.......

The first time that I saw you,you were just a young nervous girl,desperate for a new home and a new family to love.I loved you from the very start.We played on the floor on my living room,you gave your love and kisses so freely.......how could I resist you? Maria and you got on wonderfully from the very start.

We went through so much together Poll,good and bad,you shared every aspect of our lives.Your mating and pregnancy,which sadly went so wrong.......you would have made such a wonderful Mom.When the man in my life hurt me so badly,you mopped up my tears,showing me I had made the right decision after all.When Danny died so suddenly,you comforted me,letting me know that you understood my pain.

When Maria was having a bad time at school,you gave her love and reassurance that she was,after all,someone very special.

When we got Ellie,you were so good.Playing together,teaching ellie right from wrong,and getting in to the most awful scrapes together....but I didn't mind,you were both so happy.What a pair!!After the terrible day when Ellie died,you and I sat up here,and mourned for your friend.You buried your head in my side,and when you raised your head,I could see the sadness in your eyes.So I decided to get you a friend.And Zap appeared in our lives and brought back some of the sunshine.

Wow,he is a handsome dude,isn't he Poll??!! You and he got on so well together....you gave him grief sometimes though,we nick-named you both,'Jack and Vera'!!!! He loved you though......and he misses his lady now,so much.

You touched so many people Poll,they loved you and are missing you now,just as we are.'Granny Biscuit' sends her love......she will miss you too,waiting patiently at the window for her,sitting by her side,for your love,kisses.......and Rich Tea biscuits!!

So now,it's just me,Maria and Zap.....you are completely irreplaceable Poll.Your man is sitting beside me,quiet and mournful....he knows you won't be there when we go home.

A beautiful moring is breaking.........and so is my heart.My dog,your leader has lost her direction.You were,and will always be,faithful and true to me,and as I felt your last heartbeat,a huge bit of me went with you to The Rainbow Bridge,leaving a hole in my heart that can never be filled.And I can never,ever be worthy of all the love and devotion that you gave to me.

I miss you so much Poll.

Sweet dreams,Dolly,

Kisses for you,

 

Love and miss you forever,

 

Mom.
