My darling Bo-bo
From the very first day you came to me I was smitten. You slept by me night after night and woke me with your wet little nose snuggling down under my neck..
You were very affectionate, loving and loyal. We went everywhere together. You were there for me when I was sick or upset. You would always cheer me up.
As you grew up and moved house with me time and again you always re-settled with ease. We had many different homes didn’t we… I think the one you liked best was that nice little townhouse close to nana. You had a lovely little garden that you loved running around in. A few more years went by and you aged a bit more and started to have those fits. I was terrified. I could see you were deteriorating. In between all this you developed a heart murmor. You still ran around a lot and trying to get you to stay still and calm was quite difficult. You had 2 fits in a week and that weekend I spent crying on the lounge. I knew the time was coming that you would be leaving me.
Monday 8th of July was the worst day of my life. I didn’t want you to be in pain anymore, but I also didn’t want you to leave me. All the family and friends came to visit you that afternoon and you thought it was great having all visitors to yourself. They all came to see the great “Bo” and then it was time
for your last visit to the vet..
I sat in that room with you kissing you and telling you I loved you so much and you just looked at me with your sad eyes. You gave me one last kiss and then he came into the room. I just screamed but you were already gone. I felt so guilty. I sat in that room for another half hour holding your lifeless body I didn’t want to let go even then.
2 weeks later you came home to me again. You now have pride of place at the front door in your special urn so you can still greet your guests…
It’s now been one year since your passing. My heart is still broken. I love you dearly. I hope your keeping poppy in line up there. Be good to one another.
