In Loving Memory...

Monsieur Elvis J Simba 1/8/95 - 12/10/02

My dearest Simba,

I am so sad to have to write this letter. I have been dreading this day for 7 1/2 years and unfortunately this day has come too soon. Let me start by saying THANK YOU for coming into my life. I believe it was fate that brought us together and I will forever be grateful for the events that led to our meeting.  You came into my world and completely changed it for the better. We shared many many great times together and I will cherish those memories always. Your paw print will remain on my heart and in my soul forever. You began my love for this breed. I went into this backwards. I did not research the breed....then buy a puppy. I bought a puppy on instinct (did not even know it was called a bordeaux), discovered he was the most amazing animal in the world, and then researched and became involved with the breed. Now I will never be without a bordeaux for the rest of my life.  Because of you I have met so many wonderful dogue friends all over the world, who have been incredibly supportive during this difficult time for me.  I have had the opportunity to travel all over to dog shows and have become greatly involved with the DDBS. All because of the incredible animal you were and the impact you had on my life.

You have been by my side for so long, I am not sure how I will go on without you. You touched so many peoples lives, I hope you know how special you really were. I am a better and stronger person because of you.  Simba, you are my best friend and I will love you always. You will never be replaced, you are a part of me for eternity.

I won't say goodbye, because I know we will meet again. So until that time, your memory will remain with me and I have the great pleasure of watching your offspring grow and hopefully will have more in the years to come.

With all my heart and soul,

Momma (Jen)
