My darling darling Ellie. I miss you so much my darling. I am so sorry I put you through the surgery, but I had to try everything I could to save you and I am so sorry I couldn't. I'm so sorry that my voice was not the last voice you heard and that my arms were not the last arms that held you, but I had to try everything I could to save you. You were loved so much and will be loved forever.
I hope you have found Toffee at the Bridge and the very best of friends are now back together. Such very special cockers who are missed so very very much.
"So this is where we part my friend, and you will run on round the bend.
Gone from sight but not from mind, new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength, life measures quality, not length.
One long embrace before you leave, share one last look before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true, but they be they and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought, will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest, take this with you, I loved you best"
