German Shepherd
"Two Dogs Talking"
Ricky asks "Where are you & Daddy going? Can I go too?"
Buddy tells her "No Rick this is something just Daddy & I gotta do."
Ricky says "OK I'll see you when you get back OK?"
Buddy sits down & says "Rick I don't think I'll be coming back today."
Ricky asks "What tomorrow? Sometime next week?"
She's so choked up now she can hardly even speak.
"Don't go away like pesty did - never even saying goodbye!"
"I wouldn't do that" Buddy says as she licks the tears from Ricky's eyes.
"Tell me you are coming back! You have always been here for me!"
Buddy tells her "Chin up kid this is something that's just gotta be.
You know I've lived a fine full life my longtime canine friend.
Now it seems it is the time for this part of my journey to end.
I'm sure you've watched me fade as the years have ticked away.
So now there is something I must pass on to you today-
Although the humans house and feed us it's us that takes care of them.
So you must be strong for them now-my fine fourlegged furry friend.
Just look over there at Daddy now he's bawling like a babe.
I'm so worried about him now he's been deathly afraid of this day.
So please look after our master and his parents too-
Do your best if you would my friend to help them see this thru."
