Remembering Kennedy ❤️ (4/20/2010 – 12/20/2024)
"I saw Kennedy for the first time, although she had not been named, on a website that sold various breeds of puppies. She was a Morkie. I visited that site several times, and she was still available at a reduced price. I became curious, so I called to inquire as to why she was still available at half price. The breeder told me it was past time for her to be homed, but most Morkies are brown or black and no one wanted a white/tricolored Morkie. Still I wasn’t sure I would make a good dad, but I decided to drive the two hours to see her. When I got to Sulphur Well, Ky the breeder gave me a tour of her facilities. I was impressed with how very serious she was and how she took good care of her puppies and their parents. We then went inside and out came the cutest, tiniest puppy I had ever seen, and she came right to me almost like she knew I couldn’t leave without her, it was as if she chose me. She was right. I wrote the check and took her to my truck and put her in the passenger’s seat, but she immediately jumped into my lap and rode the entire two hours back to Lexington in my lap. She seemed to feel safe and secure and slept all the way home, and I was done, she had me like I had never been had before.
Over the 14 years and 7 months we were together, I took her everywhere with me that I could. She was my best friend. I was never lonely or alone when she was around, she was so smart and funny. The few times I left her with the owners of her best puppy friends to go on vacation were tough. It was hard to really enjoy myself without her, but seeing her jump for joy when I returned was better than any part of any trip I ever took.
We lived in Lexington until September of 2020 when we moved to Edmonton to be near my parents, who also loved her dearly. She was somewhat of a celebrity everywhere we went, everyone knew and loved Kennedy and she loved everyone. She brought so much joy and so many smiles to people’s faces when they saw her in my shopping cart, at Farmer’s Market, or wherever we were, she was one special dog. When she became trained well enough, I rarely put a collar, harness, or leash on her because I wanted her to be as free as I was, and I didn’t want to think of myself as her owner... she repaid me by being the most well behaved dog I’ve ever known. She stayed by my side and never let me out of her sight. It was like that until the very end.
I took her for a drive in the country the last day of her life, she loved those drives. I thought we had another year together, I had no idea it would be her last day, but I’m so grateful we took that last drive together. I could tell she loved it.
I still talk to her every day and tell her there will never be a day that I don’t think about her, love her, miss her more than anything.
I’m so grateful for all the joy and happiness she brought to my life and all the memories we made together. There will never be another like her.
