My dearest Zipper Dipper Doo- I just wanted to thank you so much for all you've given me and taught me. I was only 17 when I brought you home, and I promised to take good care of you! You were so much fun, and soooo cute! So what if you chewed up things, didn't I always stick up for you and tell the people who's stuff you chewed up that if they'd have put it up it wouldn't have been chewed? Of course I did. In my eyes, you could never do anything wrong! You were my oldest son! You were NEVER a dog to me, always a child, and then a best friend. You'd lick away my tears when I'd cry. You always loved me when no one else did. You were always glad to see me when no one else was. I wouldn't have made it thru my bad times without you! I needed to cry into your warm fur, and have you lick my face as if to say "It'll be ok momma, I'm here with you!" And it was ok as long as I had you! Men would come and go....mostly jerks you'd say with that look in your eyes! Boy were u right! But, I always held fast to you!
How I miss having to step over you all day long! How I miss having your furry tail in my face at night when I go to sleep!! And the doggie daddy misses having someone to play with!! He is lonely without you, too!! But, lets focus on the good! I will never forget you for teaching me how to love unconditionally, for how to be responsible, and for how to live each day happily!! I still find my self wanting to sing some of our silly songs......Oh I wish I was a Zipper Puppy Duppy..Maybe u would want to be my friend. I still feel the need to occasionally come in and holler...Dipper Dipper Dipper!! But I know you are safe, and healthy now. Please wait for me! I love you Budda, you'll always be number 1 with me! I hope that I have never let you down! I hope I'll make you proud. You sure made me proud! Please understand that I want to give my love out again to someone who needs it as much as you did. But, YOU will always be my baby. I could NEVER replace you, so please don't think that is what I am doing! I MISS you, and I LOVE you, Boo Baby. One more song before I go.....I'm a Zipper, he's a Zipper, she's a Zipper...wouldn't you like to be a Zipper too...be a Zipper dipper puppy. In my heart I will always sing OUR songs......With eternal love.......Momma

good heavens that was so beautiful and heartfelt, I swear that tears are rolling down my cheeks as I type this. I feel the same way about my DeedleDeedleDee. I realize I will never again be able to sing those ridiculous songs I made up to her (Dede is a little red fox, pick her up and stick her in a box, her breath smells like fish and lox, Dede is a little red fox) Yeah, I know, it's a stupid song, but it was one of HER songs and we'll never again sing it to her face.
The love I see in the post you just made really touched me, thank you for writing from your heart.

Lori- It's so nice to know that I really wasn't crazy for sitting here and singing all those crazy songs to my dog! He also had about 100 nicknames,too. My little pet names I used to call them. Thanks for reasurring me that it's not just me, it's just the love I felt in my heart for my little lover puppy!!---Zippers Momma

Well Zip, It's still too quiet here without you. I miss u the most at night. Doggie daddy has no nose to flip. No one to "robble robble" back at him. Toto still doesn't really like us, but he misses you horribly. Please know that everyone here loved you so much. You were my best friend, my secret telling pal. Thank you for letting me cry on your fur for hours on end when things didn't go right. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for your ability to pick me up when I was down. Thank you for always being happy to see me, no matter what. Thank you for being open minded about the people you didn't really care for. Thank you for "keeping" all my secrets (secret guardian). Thank you for all the kisses, you know how much Mommy LOVED puppy kisses. (I am lonely for puppy kisses right now as you know Toto doesn't give puppy kisses, plus Toto eats poop. ) Thank you for warming the bed at night when I was too cold. Thank you for your vigilance at my bed side when I was sick. (and for trying to bite doggie daddy when he was checking my temp ) Thank you for tolerating my human babies even tho they colored you GREEN with a marker (thank God it was a washable marker ) They did really love you, I am sure you felt their tears, too. Thank you thank you thank you for always being there, and being my best friend, Buddah. Don't ever forget, you will always be my number 1 top dipper doo!! No one will EVER take your place in my heart. When I meet you at the bridge, I will expect you to be on my right hand side, where you belong, or in my arms. Love you always baby-Momma
