Goose Meadors

It's taken me almost a two months to be able to write this, even though as I begin tears already fill my eyes.

Goose Meadors, 4 and a half year old black Labrador Retriever was born on June 29, 2008 to Jill Meadors and Rowdy Binkley.  He left this world and his loving family on January 30, 2013. 

I never really understood the hurt and pain someone goes through when they lose a pet.  I have always said that I can't imagine and I can sympathize with them but I never knew how bad it would hurt.  Having a dog live in your house, sleep with you most nights, depend on your to survive, welcome you home everyday and love you unconditionally is a type of love some people never fully understand.  Well, we do and losing that dog has been the most devastating thing for Cory and I to endure.  Goose is the one that brought me my engagement ring... he was so special to us.

Cory and I got Goose when we were together the first time.  I was his Mom for his puppy life and after our breakup he was raised by four boys.  Lord only knows how he survived.  It was always really good to know that Cory always had someone during our alone times - he had Goose and I had Hank.  He didn't fix the whole in our hearts during our time apart but it sure did help.

We are still adjusting to life without Goose.  It's been an adjustment for sure.  We miss him a lot, everyday.  I wanted our son to grown up with Goose.  He will know about him, that's for sure!

We sure miss you buddy!
