Today I had to say good-bye to my loyal and trusted best friend…..while I had known for sometime now that this day would eventually come, I still was not completely prepared for it. However, as I watched you struggling for every breath and not able to eat or get around, I knew the only “humane” thing to do was let you go.
Now I have come home to an empty house and I feel your presence in every room…..I keep listening for your bark and watching for your wagging tail……I have loving pictures of you and I will always hold memories of our 11 years together in my heart but a little part of me has also died today…….you were such an intricate part of my life and, while life will go on and there will probably be other dogs in my life, you will always have a special place in my heart that no one else can fill…..
I miss you dearly and hope you find eternal rest in that far away place where there are countless milkbones, foxes to chase, birds to bark at and loving hands to always give you a nice walk and/or friendly pat. You will always remain in my memories and in my heart….as I spread your ashes around your favorite places in the yard, I hope this will always help me feel a piece of your presence. You were truly my “angel”……..
