TIME...IT GOES BY SO QUICKLY AND THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH OF IT
WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING LIFE WITH YOUR ANIMALS! DIESEL AND
CHEVY GREW CLOSE AS BROTHERS RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DAY THEY MET
BUT UNFORTUNATELY CHEVY WAS UP THERE IN AGE AND ON APRIL 11
2011 MY FAT BOY WENT TO RAINBOW BRIDGE WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER
VEGA<3 CHEVY LEFT US WITH MANY GREAT MEMORIES AND THE SHORT
TIME HIM AND DIESEL SHARED TOGETHER HERE ARE JUST SOME OF
THOSE MEMORIES WE HOLD CLOSE WITHIN OUR HEARTS<3
AFTER LOSING CHEVY I FOUND MYSELF ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR THE
SUPPORT, COMPANIONSHIP, LOYALTY, TRUST AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
FROM MY SWEET BOY DIESEL<3 AND AS YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ONE
THING THAT WE HUMANS CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON...IT IS THE ONE AND
ONLY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF OUR DOGS<3 NO MATTER WHAT<3
BUT DIESEL GAVE ME SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST HIS LOVE<3 THE BOND
THAT WE DEVELOPED, SHARED AND LIVED EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR OUR
ALL TOO SHORT 12 YEARS TOGETHER IS SOMETHING I FIND SO
DIFFICULT TO EVEN PUT INTO WORDS! THE RELATIONSHIPS SHARED
WITH ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND I LOVE THEM
ALL VERY MUCH<3 BUT I'M TELLING YOU THERE WAS AND STILL IS
SOMETHING SO UNIQUE, SPECIAL AND MEANT TO BE
WHEN IT COMES TO DIESEL AND ME:-)<3

HE IS MY FOREVER HEART DOG<3
MY ONCE IN A LIFETIME K-9 SOUL MATE<3  
THIS PICTURE IS OUR LAST CHRISTMAS SPENT WITH CHEVY AND I MUST
TELL YOU, THESE BOYS REALLY ENJOYED CHRISTMAS MORNING:-) CHEVY
WAS AN OLD PRO AT OPENING CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND HE TAUGHT DIESEL
WELL:) I'M NOT SURE WHO ENJOYED IT MORE, ME OR THE BOYS!
I ALWAYS GOT SUCH JOY IN SEEING THEM SO HAPPY AND PLAYING WITH
THEIR NEW TOYS AND SANTA WAS ALWAYS GOOD TO THEM;-)
WAIT A SECOND MOMMY I GOTTA CHECK OUT THIS BIG CEMENT DOGGIE
OVER HERE ;-))) THIS WAS OUR FAVORITE THING TO DO, GOING FOR
WALKS, WE COULD WALK FOR HOURS...  
AND THEN OF COURSE IT WAS NAP TIME WELL MORE LIKE LET ME CLOSE
MY EYES UNTIL I HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL NOISE OR WE SLOW DOWN
BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET UP TO SEE WHERE WE ARE, SNIFF OUT THE
WINDOW AND JUST BE THE NOSY LITTLE BOY THAT I AM:)
DIESEL ABSOLUTELY LOVED GOING BYE BYE'S, HE WAS NOT ONE OF
THOSE DOGS THAT WOULD JUST SIT OR LAY DOWN UNTIL WE GOT
WHERE WE WERE GOING, HE WAS ALWAYS ON HIGH ALERT LOOKING FOR
COWS, GOATS, DOGS OR WHATEVER HE COULD FIND TO BARK AT AND
THAT INCLUDED MOTORCYCLES AS WELL;) THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES A
MOTORCYCLE WOULD COME UP BESIDE US, BE BEHIND US OR PASS US
GOING THE OTHER WAY AND HE WOULD JUST BARK AND BARK AT THEM
AND THE RIDERS WOULD JUST LOOK AT HIM AND SMILE:-) WHEN WE
WOULD COME TO RED LIGHTS IF THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO US AND THE
PERSON LOOKED AT HIM HE WOULD GO CRAZY BARKING AT THEM, IT
WAS SO FUNNY AND WOULD JUST MAKE ME LAUGH AND HE DID IT
WITHOUT FAIL, THAT WAS MY DIESEL DOG AND ONE OF MANY THINGS
HE WOULD DO THAT I MISS SO, SO MUCH AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
ABOUT HIM<3 THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT I WILL SHARE ABOUT
DIESEL IN THIS LITTLE STORY ABOUT HIM ALSO THAT ARE EXACTLY
WHAT MAKE HIM SO SPECIAL TO ME AND ARE SO UNIQUELY DIESEL<3
SNIFFING OUT THE WINDOW OF COURSE AS YOU ALL KNOW IS ONE OF
OUR DOGS MOST FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AND I WOULD ALWAYS SAY
TO DIESEL "YOU NIFF IT BABY" AND HIS LITTLE TAIL WOULD JUST WAG
AWAY! I STILL TO THIS DAY HAVE HIS LITTLE NOSE MARKS ON THE
WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR WHERE HE WOULD STAND ON THE DASH WITH
HIS FRONT FEET TO BE SURE HE DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING AND THE
WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COVERED WITH HIS SPIT AND
SNOT FROM "NIFFING IT" AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IT WILL BE
THERE FOREVER<3 THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS THAT THE
HUSBAND ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO TELLING STORIES
ABOUT OUR DIESEL, HOW HE WOULD STAND UP ON THE DOOR AND
SCRATCH THE WINDOW WITH HIS LITTLE PAW AND MAGICALLY THE
WINDOW WOULD JUST GO DOWN LIKE HE KNEW THE TRICK TO OPEN THE
WINDOW;-) SO FUNNY<3  I SO MISS HAVING MY CO PILOT WITH ME<3
WE WENT EVERY WHERE TOGETHER WHETHER IT WAS JUST MOMMY AND
DIESEL OR MOMMY, DIESEL AND DADDY, WE WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER
AND NEVER WITHOUT DIESEL<3 SO YEAH, IT'S BEEN A REAL STRUGGLE
FOR ME GETTING USE TO BEING BY MYSELF TO SAY THE LEAST BUT I
WILL ALWAYS HAVE THESE...
"YOU NIFF IT BABY" MEMORIES TO HOLD IN MY HEART<3
THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL...
DIESEL IN HIS CAR SEAT ON OUR VACATION IN CAPE HATTERAS NORTH
CAROLINA! THIS LITTLE BOY ENJOYED GOING BYE BYE SO VERY MUCH, HE
WAS ALWAYS SO ALERT AND SO CURIOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING AND
NEEDED TO HAVE A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF WHERE WE WERE GOING. IF BY
CHANCE HE WOULD LAY DOWN AND JUST LOOK AROUND FROM HIS CAR
SEAT AS SOON AS DADDY HIT THE BRAKES OR IF HE HEARD THE TURN
SIGNAL CLICK HE WOULD POP UP, LOOK AROUND, JUMP IN MOMMY'S LAP
AND NIFF AWAY OUT THE WINDOW.
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOPPING IN THE CAR OR TRUCK AND DRIVING THE
WINDING COUNTRY ROADS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE OF TENNESSEE AND THIS
WAS FOR SURE ONE OF DIESEL'S FAVORITE THINGS TO DO ALSO. ALL I HAD TO
DO WAS GET THE COOLER OUT AND START PACKING IT WITH DRINKS AND ICE
AND HE KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT, HE WOULD GET SO EXCITED AND START
RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE A LITTLE MANIAC PULLING HIS TOYS OUT
OF HIS TOY BASKET ONE BY ONE SQUEAKING EM' AND LEAVING THEM ALL OVER
THE HOUSE AND BARKING LIKE CRAZY OR SHOULD I SAY..."TALKING" LIKE CRAZY!
I CAN HEAR HIM NOW AS I'M TYPING THIS BARKING/"TALKING" BEING SO
EXCITED ABOUT GOING BYE BYE'S...WE MISS YOU CRAZY:-) THAT'S WHAT
DADDY O' WOULD SAY TO HIM ARE WE GOING BYE BYE'S CRAZY HEAD AND HE
WOULD GET EVEN MORE EXCITED IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE!
I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE JUST A FEW MORE PICTURES FROM OUR
VACATION TO CAPE HATTERAS NC SINCE I SHARED THIS ONE OF DIESEL
BEING ON ALERT AND AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS SO GOOD ABOUT
STANDING AND STAYING TO HAVE HIS PICTURE TAKEN:)
AND SUCH A HANDSOME BOY<3
IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE MY SWEET BOY STANDING ON THE
DOOR KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON HIS MOMMY TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T
GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT HIM:)
JUST TAKING ANOTHER PICTURE HANDSOME BOY!
DIESEL'S FAVORITE WAY FOR MOMMY TO CARRY HIM AROUND AND HOLD
HIM WAS STANDING ON OR SITTING ON MY LEFT ARM LIKE HE IS IN
THIS PICTURE AND I GUARANTEE YOU HE HAS 100,000 MILES RIDING ON
MY ARM:-))) IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE DID FROM THE DAY I
BROUGHT HIM HOME, I WOULD CARRY HIM AROUND LIKE THIS AT CAR
SHOWS, FLEA MARKETS, SWAP MEETS AND EVEN IN THE CAR. IT WAS SO
FUNNY BECAUSE HE WOULD ONLY DO IT FACING TO THE LEFT AND SO
MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY LOOK AT THAT LITTLE DOG JUST A STANDING
ON HER ARM AND IT ALWAYS MADE ME SMILE TO HEAR THEM SAY THAT:)
WE JUST HAPPEN TO COME UPON THIS GRAVE DIGGERS GARAGE AND
STOPPED IN TO CHECK IT OUT AND TAKE SOME PICTURES AND AGAIN IF
YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE DIESEL'S LITTLE HEAD AND THOSE CUTE
FLOPPY EARS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE TRUCK;-)
SEE HIM
>>>>>>
SO CUTE
HE WAS SO PATIENT WHEN IT CAME TO ME TAKING HIS PICTURE AND I
DID IT A LOT AS YOU WILL SEE IN OUR STORY;) I'M SO THANKFUL NOW
THAT I DID AND THANK YOU PAL FOR BEING SO PATIENT FOR BEING
SUCH A GOOD BOY<3 THESE ARE CHERISHED MEMORIES<3
HITTING THE BEACH
DADDY WAS SO GOOD AT CAPTURING THESE MOMENTS OF US TOGETHER
AND WE NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT THEM UNTIL WE GOT HOME AND
LOOKED AT OUR PICTURES, WE SURE DID SHARE MANY MOMENTS LIKE
THIS SO THANK YOU DADDY OR SHOULD I SAY DADDY O' :-)
THIS IS JUST A FRACTION OF THE TOYS IN DIESEL'S TOY BASKET THAT
HE WOULD SCATTER ALL OVER THE HOUSE WHEN WE WERE GOING BYE
BYE AND JUST LIKE A CHILD HE HAD HIS FAVORITE ONE'S:-) HE EVEN
HAD TOYS IN THE CAR TO PLAY WITH AND I WOULD ALWAYS CARRY AT
LEAST ONE IN OUR "TO GO" BAG AS WELL JUST IN CASE, HE JUST LOVE
TO PLAY FETCH IN OUR 58 YEOMAN WAGON AND AS I SAID EARLIER
DIESEL WAS NOT THE KIND OF DOG WHO WOULD JUST LAY DOWN AND
SLEEP SO YEAH AS SILLY AS IT MAY SOUND WE WOULD PLAY TUG OF
WAR AND FETCH IN THE CAR;-') I LOVE THAT HE WAS JUST A LITTLE
BALL OF ENERGY, SO READY TO GO AND SO FULL OF SPUNK AND
CURIOSITY ALL OF THE TIME, IT'S WHAT MADE DIESEL, DIESEL AND
WHAT MADE OUR LIFE TOGETHER WITH HIM SO VERY SPECIAL AND SO
ONCE IN A LIFETIME<3 AS I SAID EARLIER HE REALLY WAS MY SPECIAL
LITTLE BLESSING AND GIFT FROM GOD AND CHANGED OUR LIVES
FOREVER WITH HIS OH SO SPECIAL DIESEL WAYS<3 AND DIESEL LOVE<3
DIESEL JUST LOVED STANDING ON HIS DADDY'S SHOULDER WHEN WE
WERE OUT CRUISING:) HE EVENTUALLY MADE A LITTLE SEAT OR SHELF
AS WE CALL IT IN BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS THAT ATTACHED TO THE BACK
OF THE SEAT FOR DIESEL TO SIT AND LAY ON BUT DIESEL STILL
ENJOYED STANDING ON HIS DADDY O'S SHOULDER AND GIVING HIM
NOSE POKES AND KISSES IN HIS EAR;-)))
