Georgie by Nancy Landgraf / I will always love you.

My Georgie (the best dog ever) – today I set you free.

You have been such a great dog, I never wanted to let you go. I knew this day would come but I never imagined it was going to be this hard. To keep you here for me would not be fair after all the love you have given me.

All the love, all the kisses I ever needed, all the walks you took me on. Always happy – wagging your tail. It’s unfair to make you suffer for me when you have been so good to me. It’s time for me to be good to you and let you go. It’s time.

I will never forget the way you…..

♥carried your food dish
♥played rock and more rock in any kind of weather (actually never quit playing rock) I am amazed you had any teeth left
♥laying in the freezing snow to chew on a bone (crazy dog)
♥went swimming for hours while I tanned on the dock
♥went to work with me every day
♥have sleep overs with Sara when we went out of town
♥brought back all those birds for your daddy (even without taking a little bite for yourself) but your daddy always gave you a bite
♥trips to go visit Grandma and Grandpa
♥participating in Sara’s tea parties
♥coming home from the neighbors with your toe nails painted and ribbons in your ears
♥hung out with me at the boat races when it was 100 degrees (but you always got to go swimming)
♥play with your cousins Gunner and Aspin (we miss Gunner)
♥the spot you left for Uncle Spanky
♥your passion for food (I am surprised you didn’t weigh 110 lbs but I guess you played rock enough to burn off those calories)

You did many things in your life – I just hope I was as good to you as you were to me. I couldn’t have gotten a better dog. I am so glad brother John, Melanie and Scott talked me into getting you. I can’t imagine what my life would have been without you.

I know you are in a better place now – may there be an abundance of rocks to play with, lakes to swim in and bones to chew.

For all those hearts you touched – you will be missed greatly. My heart aches – I love you SO much.

Today I set you free.

 

It's time,
Georgie
