Okie has been a constant in my life since 2004. After having a couple dogs, I did not figure that any other dog could make up for the ones I had lost. Okie could never take their places, but he did hold a special place in my heart. He was and will always will be the best friend I have ever had. Whenever I moved out of the house to go to the University of Oklahoma, I would come home almost every weekend just to see him. It was not too hard since my parents lived in Norman, but I could not stand being away from my companion for so long. Okie had such a good spirit, even when I was down or stressed he would bring me out of my funk. I am happy now that he is no longer in pain, even though I am torn apart from the thought of him not being around anymore. He will never be able to greet me when I come visit the parents. I can never feed him scraps from the table, or call him up to my bed to cuddle. I'll never be able to be grossed out by his stinky doggy breath or play with him around the house. I literally cannot think of any time that I was not happy around Okie. He was the best dog my family has ever had. I will always remember you buddy. Thanks for always making me smile. RIP
