more than a dog...

Rest in peace my sweet little pebbies. you were the best dog that ever existed. Your unlimited affection, bright eyed intelligence, and mischievousness made you such an integral part of the family that your absence will be felt acutely. I'll always remember how excited you got when you saw me getting ready for one of our epic walks together, and how your tiny tail wagged furiously whenever you heard one of our family's voices. You loved scampering around outdoors and circling the pool whenever we went swimming and you used to greet us at each point in the pool rim where we stopped. You guarded us against the chipmunks and raccoons and even though you were only 4 pounds of dog, you projected yourself as 100 pounds of teacup poodle ferocity. Your fur was the softest I've ever cuddled and your hugs the warmest. No one will ever take your place my little sweet pea.
