I found my black Lab at night. He was a lost puppy crying, after which I named him MIDNIGHT for it was very late and I got a robe and a flashlight. I saw him a month old, wet and scared as I took him to my house. I dried him and laid him to my chest and we both fell asleep. I awoke and he was so cute and I looked at his eyes. He could tell that I already loved and would take good care of him. I had 4 cats and taught him to love them as they became best friends fast.
I laughed at how he would sneak things from my purse and run I would chase him and say that if you’re a good boy and stop that I will give you a goody and he was smart and start to obey everything I taught him. I loved him more everyday and as he grew older he was so faithful and loving. He would go everywhere with me and he would go through the drive through and we would share a burger people would laugh because he would sit and look like a person.
He was big and the car was little.
We had fun.
He would greet me after work with his teddy bear and we would play pull tag with his teddy. Oh, I loved him so much. I would awake and Midnight would have my slippers to his mouth and look like let’s go, mom, I have to go potty. He followed me every room. I would go and wait for me. We would lay and play soft music and I would tell him the story
how I found him as a lost puppy.
He was 8 years old and so fast he got sick. His back legs gave and he could not eat and I always took good care of him with his shots and food. It got so bad I had my vet come with a truck and they would get me and my friend everyday and I would sit at the vet for 9 hours everyday. I would not go home for they had to start insulin and they let me take him home every night. He got worse and I rushed him to the best hospital and they said he was having so much pain and
would never walk and get well.
I had my sister come there and I cried and kissed my best friend good bye for he did not deserve to be with so much pain and would never walk. It was hard but my sister and the Dr. said he needed to be set free from all the hurt and pain and that was the hardest thing I ever did. I am sure he will know I did what was right, but it’s over a year and I can never forget the best friend I loved and will ever have.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU,
MOM
I MISS AND LOVE YOU EVERYDAY,
