Today we said goodbye to Kelsey. Kelsey was the most wonderful dog, pet, and friend. There is no other dog, so friendly, so loving, so faithful, so obedient than Kelsey. Unfortunately her life was cut short due to kidney failure, and today was her last day. Going "home" will not be the same, and Halle's best play mate will be gone. If Kelsey could write to us now, I believe she'd say something like this...
I will miss you all,
I will miss:
my nightly walks, my bones, trying to get a treat out of my kong, visits from Grammy, laying next to you when you're on the couch, table scraps from Dad, playing at the park with Halle, watching you water the flowers, sitting on the lawn watching people go by, the sound of you coming home, long pets from Quinn, getting my belly rubbed, playing with Lucy, all of the attention, sitting by your side, playing tug-of-war with my sock toy, my duckie, feeling how much you all loved me, and being a part of your family.
Thank you for the best life a dog could ask for!
Love, Kelsey Lu
I know some people don't understand the dog-owner relationship, but Kelsey was truly a part of our family and will be missed greatly. Halle talks about Kelsey nearly every day so I'll have to figure out how to tell her about "doggy heaven."
Goodbye Kels- Sweet Dreams!

Awww. I'm so sorry for your family, Shannon. I understand the pet/owner relationship and what a sad day it is for you guys. Thinking of you all.
Oh Kelsefur...I'm so sorry shan. This made me want to cry. Kelsey will be missed!
Tears are in my eyes reading about Kelsey. As painful as it is, she enriched our lives and she sure loved our family. So, in time, the raw pain will fade, and we will be able to smile at the memories. Thank you for your sweet tribute to our special pup. Love, Mom
And I will miss "Kel...get your kong."
