Whose a good Tuffy?

We had to put Tuffy down today because he got ran over. Mom called me and we all went to the Vet clinic to meet her and the vet took x-rays and Tuffy's breaks were very severe to his pelvis, hip and leg. So we all made the decision to put him down, and he passed away in mom's arms about 6:30 this evening. Nothing is as hard as putting an animal down. Especially this 15 pound ball of fur that could steal anybody's heart. The vet said that if ther was a chance of saving him that he would probably never be able to walk right again. We did not want Tuffy to suffer, and now he is in a better place, and is no longer suffering. Tuffy was so cute and the best dog, he would curl up next to anyone and was always there to greet you with a doggie smiley face. Tuffy we love you and miss you and know that you are know safe and feeling very good. Tuffy you have given us so many memories, and we will remember them always. WE LOVE YOU TUFFY!!!

The Life of a Puppy
This morning, I woke up & kissed my dad's head.I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed."The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great."Then I thought about breakfast," I hope it's not late."
Mom took me outside, we walked for a while.This never fails to make Mama smile.I sniffed of everything, that we did pass,I ate something weird - it gave me gas.
I'm sure God loves me, I know that is true.He gave me so many great things to chew.Rugs, plants or rocks, I really don't care.What I truly like best, is Dad's underwear.
That obedience book, was sort of yummy.Though it didn't sit well on my poor puppy tummy.I threw up a bit, but that was all right,When Mom found it later, I was well out of sight.
I made streamers of T. P., while running at full speed.Mom is pretty quick -- but I was still in the lead.I flew under the bed, and Mom flew past,She stopped-shook her head, and breathed,"You're too fast."
Mama later phoned Daddy, and said, "It was frightening!"That afternoon, she was sure I'd pooped lightning.She'd sat at the computer, while I chewed the cord,She thought I was mad, but I was just bored.
When Mama had enough, couldn't take anymore,That's when my tushy got shoved out the door.I love it inside, but outside is best.Lay in the cool grass, and had a good rest.
That didn't last long, there was too much to do--Can't quite remember where I hid Daddy's shoe.I found an old bone, and scratched at a flea,I watched the dumb squirrels as they jumped in a tree.
I barked at the kids, when they got off the bus.I can't figure out why this makes Mama fuss.I barked at the neighbor, I barked at the wind.I barked and barked, till Mom yelled, "COME IN."
The sun dipped in the west-soon Daddy would come!I sure love my daddy: we always have fun.I barked at my daddy, then turned on my charms,I woo-wooed, "Hello," then jumped in his arms.
Sitting under the table -- it's sooo hard to wait.Daddy slipped me a goodie right off his plate.I raced through the house, and scattered my toys,Ricocheted off the furniture, and made lots of noise.
Mom found her purse - the one I abused.Daddy let loose a chuckle. Mom asked "Amused??"I cowered down low, I must be in trouble.Dad said, "Wasn't MY boy, it must be his double!"
Mom turned off the TV, and said,"Time for bed."Dad said "Let's go boy," and patted my head.I got in my spot, between Mom and Dad,I thought 'bout my day and what fun I had.
Mama kicked out my bone from the covers below,Then let loose a sigh -- a sigh deep and low.She gave me a kiss, and snuggled me tight,And whispered so softly, 'My darling goodnight'.
