We've been together for so long now it's like
you are a part of me,
Through thick and thin it's been you and I.
When I first met you I passed you by, But you
where persistent and wouldn't leave me alone, You knew we where meant to be
together.
It took me some time to realize
that you where the only one for
me!
You where a handful, so much energy and so
full of life.
You'd look at me with your big brown eyes and
I'd fall in love with you all over again, no matter what you'd done.
You used to suck my thumb when you slept and
whimper when you had a bad dream.
As the years went passed time took it's toll
on both of us you started to slow down I could see it in your eyes yet you
always greeted me with a wagging tail and a goofy look on your face,
Some say you couldn't move without your tail
wagging and they where right.
You where so full of love, unconditional love
and no one that ever met you didn't fall in love with you as well.
We got the bad news in September, You took it
with tail wagging and tongue hanging out, I wish I was that strong, I
haven't stopped crying since.
I thank my lucky stars for the extra time I
spent with you and only wish I had more.
The day came for me to do the right thing and
put you down, it was the hardest thing I have ever done or ever want to do.
I was there until the end and for quite some time after that holding you as
you went limp in my arms and me telling you that I Loved you!
Life will never be the same for me without
you.
But I know when you get to the other side
they'll be lined up to walk you and pet you and rub your ears the way you
like so much and to Love you as I do too
You where and always will be an awesome dog,
companion and best friend!
