I knew when I woke in the middle of the night, that something about you wasn’t quite right.
You lay there breathing in a slow, shallow pace, not moving a muscle in your body or
whisker on your face.
When morning came and you weren’t patiently waiting in your favorite space, I something bad
was about to take place.
Putting the morning routine on hold I sat down beside you, stroked your soft fur, kissed your sweet face,I told you how much joy you have given me, even told you how sad I would be with you gone to start your new life in
that very special place.
Despite your weak body, your will was still there,you made one last trip to the kitchen, and collapsed on the floor.
I lifted your tired body,placed you gently in bed letting the palm of my hand cradle your head. You clung to life for the longest time, but still weren’t ready to leave this life behind.
As I carried you to the truck,the tears began to flow knowing deep down side I didn’t want you to go.
The house seems so empty without you here,everywhere I look I see you there,on the floor waiting patiently, for the morning feed,the couch, your favorite chair, even the window basking in the warm Summer air.
Rest in peace my girl, you’ve lived a great life, and yes, you may be gone from my eyes but the memories of you I will cherish for life.
All our love,
