Guest K9_Lady Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am numb as I type this...8 years ago I walked into the K9 Training Center not knowing how my life would be changed. As I looked over all of the possible K9 Partners I saw you and our Eyes met. I felt from that moment that we looked into each others souls and I knew in my Heart that we would be a Great Team. We had a Bond like no other. You excelled in all you did and gave it your all. You were brave, never hesitating to protect me. You stood tall after 9-11 as we stood for hours at our Command Center protecting all who entered. You made me proud as we stood to Honor Fallen K9 Heroes. You made me proud as we stood Guard by The Presidential Helicopter. You made me proud when we received a Department Commendation for your work. You searched so others would be safe. City Wide you were known, from the FBI to School Children who thought it was so cool to pet a Police Dog. I was known too...as Arcos Partner You were Loved by many and touched many lives. But when we came home at night you were my sweet lovable boy. A part of the Family..a part of me..my Velcro Dog. You made me laugh and you stood by me thru good times and bad. This last year I was Blessed to be Retired with You and enjoyed every moment together. You looked into my eyes last night on the way to the E-Vet and you again looked into my Soul. You knew it was time to go and wanted me to know it was OK. And now I look down by my feet and I don't see you, I turn to touch you and you're not there. A piece of my Heart is gone. Your Grandpa misses you too and when I looked out the window and saw him watering it was not the same without you at his side. But even though I can't touch you or see you, I know you are at my side. Partners Forever..just temporarily separated by a Rainbow. Be Brave again Arco until I am once again at your side. I love, miss you and you are... FOREVER IN MY HEART AND ALWAYS AT MY SIDE.

kelseysmom Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Your loving words have brought tears to my eyes. I'm so very sorry and can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. It's obvious that your handsome Arco was so much more than a pet or a partner and the remarkable bond that you have always shared will never be broken.
