Cairo, as I write this I can’t stop crying. I love you so much and never thought this day would come. You have been a part of me for my whole adult life and I just can’t think what it’s going to be like without you. I can’t even take Max for a walk for some reason I keep remembering the last time we were at the Park together
when the storm came through.
I don’t want to go back to the park anymore. I don’t want to walk up our street anymore. Not without you. When I go out the backyard I just hate it, there is no you. No one to get under my feet, bark at me and just always be there.
I just want one more day with you.
I wish I had a day left .. our last day together because I would do things that you loved to do. I would take you in the car, maybe to a beach or lake. We would play ball and stick. I would feed you the nicest things. I would give you a big cuddle and kiss and just lay down with you. You are my baby. I feel guilty over some things and I just want you here with me. We had so many good times. People say you were lucky to have us and we did so much for you but that is so wrong. We were so lucky to have you and it was you that did so much for us. Life is just not going
to be the same anymore.
I was thinking .. it was 5 years ago since you were first started having seizures. Many people assume that this means dogs should be put to sleep but your condition was managed so well and we cared for you. These past years your seizures were only every now and then and the rest of the time you were a happy tail wagging dog! You were the same old girl but you were getting old, hobbling around and couldn’t do the things you used to do anymore. Eventually you lost your life to a seizure.
I wish when I came back those few times to see you at the Vet when you were in a Coma … I just wish I sat there with you for longer. I know I visited, I talked to you and patted you. I just wish that last visit just before you died that I’d just plonked myself and stayed put. I raced so hard to get back to the Vet when they rang me half hour later to say you were dying but I just didn’t make it.
Your Ashes are in our Bedroom on our Dressing table .. you always loved sleeping inside with Mum & Dad so forever you will be sleeping with us.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CAIRO,
