You found your way to us through our butcher during the weekly meat shopping, when we brought you home I was scared of you, for the first few years I didn’t really go near you, then all of a sudden I needed a best friend and there you were. You weren’t the most expensive or pretty dog, but to me you were special. As the years went on, your arthritis and hip displaysia got worse, yet you would still run to me when I came out to see you. I can remember all those lazy days where you and I would just sit in the sun eating and reading together; those days were wonderful, but now they are gone. You started to develop liver cancer and we knew you were in pain, for a long time. I tried to convince myself that you weren’t, but after a year of making myself think that you were fine,
I finally gave in. I couldn’t keep you in pain. I was being so selfish. I’m sorry I was being selfish. For the whole week previous to your passing all I could do was cry. I wanted to grieve with you, cause I wasn’t sure I would ever find someone I could grieve with after you. Now I’ve found that person, don’t think for a moment that he could ever replace you, cause he can’t, but he can be the person to make me happy again. I never want to forget you and I never will. I just want to grieve for you with my best friend. May I? Sally, you were the best thing that ever happened to me, and now that you’re gone. I had to seek someone else, to make me happy. You know that friend I had before you left? Well he is my best friend now and he’s the only one who I can talk to the same way I talked to you, but he will never ever replace you, got it?
Give me your eternal love and I will send mine everyday. I will think of you everyday, I will dream of you every night and I will love you eternally.
All of my love goes to you,
Love from
