My dog looked at me a while back
She seemed to say let’s go I wanna play
She was young, spry and full of energy
My dog looked at me a while back
She seemed to say I’m sorry I chewed up my bed
I’ll do it again sometime when you’re not looking
just be patient with me
My dog looked at me a while back
She seemed to say I’m thirsty. Can I have some water.
I looked at her and said “in a minute, you can wait”
My dog looked at me a while back
Someone came to the door and she seemed to say Don’t worry I’ll protect you
This is my house and you are my family.
My dog looked at me a week ago
Her eyes were red and her nose seemed stuffy
She seemed to say I’m not feeling well but I don’t mind, can we go for a walk?
I said I don’t have the time right now
My dog looked at me the other day
She seemed to say I feel sick, is there something you can do to help me? I don’t want my food right now, I’m not very hungry, but I will have some of what you’re having
My dog looked at me day before yesterday
She seemed to say please help me, I don’t know what’s wrong.
I hurt, the doctor stuck me with needles and made Mommy cry. what’s wrong? I can’t seem to breathe and my eyes hurt so bad. but I can see you and Mommy and the kids. Why do you seem sad.
My dog looked at me yesterday
She seemed to say I want it to end
make the pain stop
I wag my tail when I see you come
but that’s all I can do
I picked up her leash to take her to the vet and she got right up
Yes I’ll go for a walk she seemed to say
But after we got outside she stopped and seemed to say…I can’t, I’m sorry I can’t.
Just let me go back inside and lie down.
My dog looked at me yesterday and seemed to say
why are we here again. I don’t like it here.
But I’m really sick and you must know what is best for me
My dog looked at me yesterday and seemed to say
don’t cry, just make it stop, please make it stop hurting. I can’t see you but I know you’re here with me. Mommy let me rest my head in your lap.
The doctor stuck the needle in …
My dog looked at me for the final time
she seemed to ask why? Then, bye friend I love you
We love you Casey
Rest in peace friend
Protector of our house
We miss you dearly
I’m sorry we didn’t have more time

 

With all our love
Casey
