Goodbye My Dear Friend Koda, I'll see you again at the Rainbow Bridge Options

[Koda's Mommy]

It is with a heavy heart I said good bye to a very dear friend. The best friend a person can have. My beloved dog Koda. After going through all the scenarios and his quality of life we made the hardest decision a pet owner can make. We had to put my sweet Koda boy to sleep on 12/9/08.
Koda was my first dog. My heart aches knowing he will never again curl at my feet, lay on my bed or swim at possum kingdom lake. I'm going to miss his bark everytime someone rang the doorbell and his happy yipes and howls when we would come home. There will forever be a void in my heart but his sweet nature and sloppy kisses will remain in my memories forever.

I remember the day we brought home our friend. August 2001. His name was Koda which literally meant Friend. We stopped at Petsmart to get a fish and ended up leaving with a fish and a new friend. All the other dogs were barking madly at shoppers except for this beautiful brown eyed boy. He looked at me quietly and wagged his tail ever so slightly as i approached his crate. I read his adoption card and bent down to say hello. He licked my fingers through the bars and i knew instantly he was meant for our family. At the time pauly and I were renting a house and not yet married. We weren't planning on a dog until we purchased our own home. But when pauly spotted the connection between Koda and I he asked me a question. "Do you want him?" To which i replied yes.

I don't know if my heart will ever be able to take another dog. But i will never forget him. He was a good dog. he was my dog. I love you Koda and always will.

I know Koda is in a better place. He isn't in pain. He is happy. I believe there is an afterlife and i do believe dogs have a special place in heaven So perhaps he will come back and visit me from time to time. Maybe he'll even torture the cat who loves to pick on him.

Koda taught me many things and I will never forget him. He was a special dog.
And so my beloved friend I wish you well. Please don't forget me. I love you Koda.

"May
the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May
the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your
fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his
hand. "

Dearest Koda's Mommy, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your sweet fur baby Koda. What a beautiful, special and unique fur child. I feel much more than sad that you're suffering so horribly and missing him so badly. Your pain, grief and devastation is so palpable, Dear One. I can actually feel you honest and for true.

Something that brings me much comfort is knowing that my Angel baby boy is still here with me and just a breath away. Koda's Mommy, a breath away is not far at all to where your precious fur baby boy is right this moment. I hope you're inspired and comforted by the image of Koda that I made to accompany this song, Koda's Mommy.

Since I express myself so much better using images, songs, poems and the like, please allow me to tell you what I mean. I don't know if you're able to view and hear videos so I've provided the lyrics to this song for you. I do believe in my heart and soul that your sweet baby boy Koda is very close, right next to you and just a breath away. Again, as I said, a breath away sure isn't far at all from where Koda is to you, his Mommy. Blessings!

"To Where You Are"

Who can say for certain maybe you're still here. I feel you all around me. Your memory's so clear. Deep in the stillness, I can hear you speak. You're still an inspiration. Can it be? That you are my Forever Love. And you are watching over me from up above!

Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight to see you smile! If only for a while to know you're there. A breath away's not far to where you are.

Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream? And isn't faith believing all power can't be seen. As my heart holds you just one beat away, I cherish all you gave me everyday!

'Cause you are my Forever Love watching me from up above and I believe that Angels breathe and that love will live on and never leave!

Fly me up to where you are, beyond the distant star! I wish upon tonight to see you smile if only for a while to know you're there! A breath away's not far to where you are!

I know you're there! A breath away's not far to where you are!


Many Comforting Hugs to You and Your Fur Child Koda!!!

Always,
