Happy was another dog we loved more than anything on this earth.

Happy was our second labrador that we got when cancer had taken our first dog Maddy. Happy from the first day we got him at 5 months old wagged his tail and it never stopped until the day he died. He just loved people, no matter who came to our house he had to get a pet on the head from whoever it was. His tail never ever stopped wagging. He was the smartest dog in the world. He knew how to tell us exactly what he wanted which amazes me because dogs cant talk. Some of his favorite things to do was to be outside with the kids. If the kids were out he had to be out. He just loved running around in the yard with the kids chasing a ball. He also loved going in the car just to drive around, he didnt care where we went he just loved sitting in the back of my SUV looking at people out the window. He was a people lover. He also loved to take the blankets off the bed wrap them in a pile and lay on them and when you caught him he would look at you as if to say "what I wanted to be comfortable" He always made us laugh.

When we found out Happy had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer we were devastated. The cancer he was diagnosed with was rare but very aggressive. The only things we could do was keep him comfortable because surgery, chemo and radiation was not an option for a cure, so we decided to just keep him happy and loved. I kept the medication for him in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and when he was ready for a pill he would come to get me to get my attention (which was very easy because hes so cute) and then he would go sit in the bathroom under the pedestal sink (because he knew the pills were in the medicine cabinet) He was the smartest most lovable dog and we miss him terribly.

My kids and I took him to the vet for the unfortunate day of his passing because we could no longer see him suffering. Well before that horrible time came I made my children steak for supper and both of them were so upset that they decided to share their steak with Happy because they wanted him to have the best supper before he died. They also wanted Happy to remember them because they gave him steak for supper. I assured my children that Happy will never forget us, we loved him soo much and gave him the best home.

I told Happy that I wanted one more picture (because I was having a sad moment) and his stuck his tongue out at me and it made me laugh.

Happy was a rescue dog and spent the first 5 months of his life in an abusive home, but the last 9 years of his life he was spoiled and loved sooo much. I have tears I write this because he was the best dog any family could ever want. I still look for him every morning when I get up only to find he's gone. Happy will be in our hearts forever. My kids and I made paw prints with him before he died so those we will cherish forever.

HAPPY WE LOVE AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY. R.I.P.
