Bugger Maniac by Deanne & Jim / Deanne

We have two special friends, our dog Bodega and our kitty Bugger. Bugger was in our lives for 8 years, Bodega for 15 ½. We are lucky to have had them and experienced their love. They are now resting together in a special place, they will never be alone. They were the best of friends and I am sure they still are. They are romping together, playing together and sharing everything.

How do you say goodbye to a friend?
How do you keep all of the memories alive?
How do you go on when you see them at every window, around every doorway, hear them in every sound?
How do you say goodbye?

How do you say goodbye?
When they have been your loyal companion?
Have stood by you through thick and thin?
Have loved you with all of their hearts?
How do you say goodbye?

How do you say goodbye?
When they look at you with all the trust in the world?
When they live just to be near you?
When they give to you always?
How do you say goodbye?

How do you say goodbye?
You never say goodbye…
You take them with you everywhere you go.
Each time I hear scratching at a door, it will be Bugger.
Every time I hear a meow, my Bug will be there.
When I go for a run, Bodega is by my side.
Outside in the wilderness hiking or backpacking, Bodega is my scout.

So I never will say goodbye, I will take them with me wherever I go and whatever I do.
And if I am lucky, we will meet again.
Their love will always be with me,
in my memories and in my heart.

 

Love to my Bug Boy,
Bugger Maniac
