Dearest Clancy, rest in peace.
You grew up with Glenn and I like a third child. You were my other brother. Always there for me, never too busy, never too judgemental, never too tired. I'll never love another dog as much as I've loved you. No other pet will ever come close. Nobody can ever compare to you. But you're at peace now, up in puppy heaven where you're young again, with all your neighborhood doggie friends who've passed away over the years.
I just hope and pray that you left us knowing how much we all loved you, and how very much you mean to us. You were a member of this family as much as I am, and you lived a good, happy life. Of course, we spoiled you, but you were the king. You'll always be the king. You are reigning now in heaven.
I love you baby, I'll never forget you, and I thank you for all the memories you've given to this family. All the happy times we've had with you. Despite all the tears that came with your parting tonight, we are ultimately happy, and grateful, for the time that we have had with you. Nobody can ever replace you, nor will anything ever try. At least not on my watch!
All the kisses of the sun, all the hugs of the arms of the ocean, and all the love of the gods above, this I give to you. Goodbye, until we meet again. Someday when I'm gone I'll meet you up there in the sky. We'll play again someday, Clancy. You're never forgotten; you'll live forever in my heart.
Rest in peace.
