1985 - 2000 

To my Biggamus Puggamus dog, the love of my life. I took your life on Tuesday, September 12, 2000 at 8:45am. Although we discussed this a lot over the past year, I didn't realize the impact your loss would have on my life. You were gone in an instant, at peace finally after your struggle with heart failure, cancer over the past two years. I will pick up your remains on Friday, and I don't know what I will do without you. I hope you find Courtney Pug, Baron the Schnauz, Mara the Giant Schnauz and Talia the Dane. And then there's Rocky the dachshund who will be bossing y'all around.

                         I wrote a lot of epitaph messages, here they are for the record:

                         ZeeZameeze

                         ZeezAmeseman

                         Meeshman Skeezman

                         My bestest dude

                         My biggamus puggamus

                         Friend of Talia, Mara and Baron.

                         You haven't lived till you've been owned by a Pug.

                         Goodbye my only child, rest.

                         The Irish blessing: May your pockets be heavy

                         and your heart be light

                         And may good luck pursue you

                         May the road rise to meet you

                         May the wind be always at your back

                         May the sunshine be warm upon your face

                         The rains fall soft upon your fields

                         And, until we meet again,

                         May God Hold You In The Palm of His Hand.

That's a Big Pug. You changed my life forever, and I miss you so much.

Your momma -Melinda
