My sweet baby, today I had to let you go to be whole again. Your body could not keep up with your spirit. This was the hardest decision I could ever make and I did not want to be selfish. I never thought I would ever have to do this. You are my baby even though you were only with me for 3 years. You were my first foster at 12.5 years old. You taught me how to love a senior, you taught me patience, you taught me determination. Daddy always said that he wished he had your stamina and determination when he gets old too. You were mommy's boy and I was so proud of you. My heart is breaking in so many ways. You were tired and you finally let me know. I know your brother Hopper is waiting for you along with many other puggies waiting to be your friend. Go play, be whole....I want you to be happy. My God allows us to be together one day. I love you baby, my boy, my Chipper.

Mommy, Daddy and all your pesty fur - brothers and sisters
