Boots by Ann Baylis / Mommy and Zoe

Boots,

We are devastated. We love you so much; we will light a candle for you until we meet again in heaven. I know your last days were not good, please forgive us. When I brought you home from the humane society you were already eight; they said no one would want you but I did and I loved you here on earth for eight years and Zoe and I will love you forever. You were here for me through my divorce and the birth of Zoe. You have been more than family. When you started to get old I did not want to see it.

I keep thinking maybe I should have taken that last blood test, what could I have done differently. I took you to the groomers to make you more comfortable just to bring you home and you could not even lie down…I spent the night up with you and in the morning I walked you for the last time and had to put you down feeling there was no choice…Please forgive me, Boots, and wait for me in heaven. Please as well come home at nights even if it’s just in spirit…never leave us. Zoe and I are truly devastated we have not stopped crying. Loving you always Mommy and Zoe

 

Always and Forever in our hearts,
Boots
