Stymy Mommy misses you so much!

What can I say you were my life. You gave me soooo much love and joy it is so hard to be without you. You came to me at the age of 5 from a breeder who wanted to give you a good home. I never had to train you much at all. I didn't have a fence and you never once tried to run. Even when the neighbors cat came in our yard you would chase him out of your yard but no further.

When I got you I didn't know much about your breed Hungarian Puli (Poolee). The saying goes, you don't own a dog you own a Puli. Puli's or Pulik don't think they are a dogs they think they are even better then there people. King of the world so to say. And Stymy you truly were King of the house. You were to live atleast until the age of 15 the was your breeds life expediency. I only had 6 1/2 years with you but 6 1/2 wonderful years.

No one would get past the door if you did not approve or mommy did tell you it was okay. When Mommy and you would lay on the couch together and get belly rubs you would look over at your dad and I swear you were laughing at him. As if you were thinking ha ha I have her and you don't. You truly loved to snuggle of which your dad did not.

The unconditional love came through one day when I got posion ivy on my eye lids and I looked so gross that the doctor and my own mother had a hard time looking at me. Stymy you jumped up on my lap and looked at me as if I was the same person and nothing had changed. All you wanted was to love.

I can't forget the hugs, you would give me a hug in the morning when I got up and at night when I would get home from work. You would stand on your back legs and put your front leg around me and were very glad to see me. As if you were saying I love you. You were so adament about it the you wouldn't even got out to pee first. Sometimes you would give me two or three hugs before you would go outside. I truly miss that the most! I was the only one you gave them to.

You would help me clean the house. You would follow me around and sit a watch. I use to say your were supervising me. I miss that too. And how you would take naps with me or we would just have quite times. There is oh so much I miss not having you right by my side. But there are times I know you watch over me and make sure I don't forget you. Every time I clean I find an old picture of you I had not seen for a long time. Or I hear the song on the radio the you liked to how to. Thanks for my special note cards.

Anyway, I want to thank you for all you gave me in those 6 1/2 years they were truly special to me. It is fun being owned by a Puli. Until we meet at the rainbow bridge.

Love you always,
Mommy

Reading your tribute to your baby brought tears to my eyes. There are so many similarities between you and stymy and me and my niki. Their presence is so missed, and most of all their unconditional love. Take care.

What a beautiful tribute! You both had such a special relationship.
I was moved by the memories and even smiled at some, like when you would clean house, or get all those big hugs. Thank you for sharing your tribute with us

Hi Vic,

What a beautiful tribute. I know you've made Stymy proud. Your relationship with him was very special and I know you miss him very much. Thanks for posting a pic of Stymy---he's every bit as beautiful as I had imagined he would be. And thanks for sharing the wonderful memories you have of him---it truly warms the heart to know that others have experienced the same kind of love for an animal as I have.

Take care, Vic.

Love and understanding,
_Jim

That really is a beautiful tribute to Stymy, and Stymy was/is beautiful. It's obvious you and Stymy had a very special relationship. You were both very blessed. I understand your feelings about missing him so much. It's almost unbearable, missing them so.

To all my good friends here at Lightning Strike:

I don't know what I would have done without your friendship. You care when it seems everyone has forgotten. Just when it seems I have gotten over this huge emptiness in my heart it comes back again and again.

I had a bad night last night mostly because of the emptiness in my heart. Like clock work some of you must have known because I opened up LS today and this tribute was the first thing I saw. It had not been up for awhile. Thank you because I needed it today. Your words touch me, THANK YOU.

Jim, Cheri, Marcia and Niki's Mom, our love for our animals was and is very special, we are lucky to have had the chance to understand how wonderful their love truly is. I am greatfull that LS is here so that I had a chance to meet allot of good people and share a special friendship.

Love and Belief,
Vicki

I can see how Stymy would have been your life and why you would miss him so much. Your post shows all the love that you had for him and what a wonderful baby he was. I think he is gorgeous, every time I see his picture I just want to reach out and hug him. I wish I had known him and you.
