This is Toby, the beloved shih tzu and loyal friend of Ann Marie Hermes. Little Toby brought so much joy to Ann Marie for 14 years of his 16 years of life.
Toby, Remembering You – You were a true companion to me all those years. So attentive, so steadfast, you were always by my side…
Toby, Remembering You
Toby, remembering you brings joy to my heart,
without you my life has not been the same.
You always made me laugh, my furry, playful boy.
And I still smile whenever I hear your name.
I never worried about anything when you were around.
You were a true companion to me all those years.
So attentive, so steadfast, you were always by my side.
My memories of you warm my soul; even through my tears.
Today, remembering you makes every day brighter, you meant so much to me.
Our trips to Alabama, your sense of adventure, the way you loved to explore.
Your sweet and gentle nature, your big round eyes, your fluffy, snow white fur.
Indeed, everything about you my little friend, will I always and forever adore.

Rest in peace my dear little friend…I will always love you.
