The End

(The last photo I took of Titan)

You left us on a Thursday at 3:49 pm.  That is the exact moment a part of my heart died and I knew life would never be the same.

The day we first met I also knew my life would never be the same. That day was back in April of 2012.  We first saw your photo online and that cute little face had me falling in love immediately.

I knew we just had to meet you and it didn't take long for me to talk your dad into it.  We drove 2 hours just to meet you.  That same day I had a headache and I was sick for most of the drive up but I didn't want to put our meet off in case someone else also wanted to take you home.  When we got to the house we came into the living room and that is when we first laid eyes on you.  So small and so cute!  Out of your whole litter you were the only one who came and lay a paw on my knee.  You seemed to be saying "Are you ok?"  That moment I knew you and I were ment to be together.

A few short weeks later you were ready to start your journey home with us and you were such a brave boy!

You slept most of the car ride back to your new family.  We were so excited to share you with my parents that we kept it a surprise.  We showed up to the house and I will never forget your dad carrying you into grandma's house and her so happy and shocked she fell to the floor!  There was lots of new cuddles and meetings with your grandpa, aunt, uncle, and new friends over the next few weeks.  Everyone I think fell in love with you the day they met you.  Our new family member.

You were so smart.  Over the years you learned so many things and were always so eager to pick up on new tricks.  Such a show off!  We had lots of silly moments too.  All the squirrels we chased away and the leaf piles you would jump into so I could never rake.  Mom loved snow so much and you were always so eager to make me happy that you learned to love snow too.  But you would never let me make a snowman, you just had to destroy those big snowballs you were so sure were just for you. The day you protected me from the ghosts I will never forget and all the games we would play together especially tug of war because you always won.  All the time spent at cottages with friends and family.

You always loved our walks and especially the dog parks where you were off leash and could always lead us on new adventures or make new friends.  You loved to meet people.  When ever we walked you would always stop to get a pat and a compliment.  It was one of the things I loved most about you, the amount of trust.  I could take you any where and you would be happy and loving with everyone and every animal.  Such a sweet boy.  You had the best temperament and were such a great ambassador for the breed.  We were always able to have amazing adventures with you because of it and even though you were only here for 4 short years we did a lot as a family.

We loved you so much we even brought home a brother for you.  And what an amazing older brother you were!  You taught Ares so much and helped him feel like part of a real family.  I will forever be thankful for that.  And boy did you guys ever love each other and bond.  There wasn't a day that went by you didn't play and cuddle.  You even shared the couch you loved so much.

My life was was never the same after you came into it.  It was filled with so much love and adventures and laughs.  Thank you for choosing me to be your person, your mom.  I will miss you so much every day and my life will never be the same now that you are gone.  You were a good boy.  I love you.

There will never be another Titan.

The End
