To my handsome boy,
I prayed for you before I met you and prayed the day you left me. You loved the sun, being cuddled up in warm blankets, sniffing flowers and could do no wrong. Such a loyal companion. God gave you 15 lives and you made sure to use them all. Never did I think I would see the end of you.
I felt you would live forever. You perservered through illness, surgeries, a major blow to the head, and car tires. God kept you with me for 10 1/2 years. You knew when I was at my worst, you would cuddle and listen and give a big sloppy kiss, right after you made sure I gave you a hot dog. You were the best thing that ever happened to me. The last 2 days of Flashes life, both he and I knew. The night before he died, I looked at him in the eyes like I’ve always done but cried. I knew he wasn’t good.
He wouldn’t look at me. He would get up and walk away everytime I would go near him. The next morning I went outside to get him to bring him to the vet, and couldn’t find him. I finally did laying in the tall pond weeds, he, to my amazement was still alive. I called to him, he wouldn’t look at me. As I walked tward him crying, I bent down and lifted his nose to mine and looked him in the eyes and cried saying, “whats wrong with my boy?” For a second he looked at me and tears came rolling down his big droupy eyes, I knew he said goodbye to me at that moment.
He was to loyal to see me hurt and tried dying where I wouldn’t see him. This was my boy. He knew when I was sad, mad, and happy. He fought to the end and didn’t want me hurt, even at the vet before he went to sleep he wouldn’t go until I was out of the room, as much pain he was in. You my flasher boy will be ireplaceable and totally unforgettable!
Always remembered and forever in my heart,
