My sweet Toby, you were always and will always be the love of my life.  I chose you out of the puppy litter because you were so quiet, just laying there.  You proved me wrong there, didn't you?  You were the best pet I have ever known.  I don't believe God put a mean bone in your body.  Remember how afraid Steph and Lindsey were of you?  Crazy.  You won their hearts just like you won everybody's that you met throughout your life.  9 years is not enough time but it was the best 9 years of my life.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.  I long for you and await the day I can see your sweet face again.  I love you my sweet Toby.
