This letter from Daddy and Momma to Moses was written on Thursday, December 26, 2013

Dear Moses,

We found out 3 weeks ago that you were sick and would not get better. We had Christmas Saturday and you were right there in the middle of all the fun. You spoke to everyone, and everyone spoke to you. Almost like we were all saying goodbye. You were sick but still had you happy sweet spirt. We spent that rainy Sunday visiting all day the next day. We did not leave you because we knew our time with you was almost gone. Your bark was weak but your tail wagged just as it always did. Monday came and you played with MoJo and Molly. You 3 swapped bones and enjoyed your time together that day. Monday night was when your tired sick body had decided it was done. You needed help to finish your sweet life out without anymore pain. It was the hardest thing me and your Daddy has ever done. It broke our hearts to make the decision that it was time to let you go. Early Tuesday morning was your last day with us. We wish you could have stayed with us longer.

You have been such a blessing to us ever since we picked you up in Missouri. I feel in love at first sight. You had already been named Moses and Moses was perfect. You were born on Christmas and were a gift from God. We have loved you for your kind sweet nature. You were so good to the kids and other dags and kitties. Never tore anything up, and rarely had any accidents. We could not have ask for a better companion. Thank you sweet Moses for all your love. With love and affection we will always remember what a wonderful dog you were. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday sweet Moses. I will miss you forever.

Love,

Daddy and Momma
