Smurf,
What a little horror you were.I took you on from the R.S.P.C.A as you were un- rehomeable. So nasty, not really, but i wanted to give you a chance.You would rather bite me then let me love you. I was never without scratch or bite marks, but i loved you.You loved sitting out in the garden.You lived happily with me for four years, you were never really a problem. Just nasty. The last three weeks of your life were really magic.You let me cuddle you, give you a brush and comb, you could be so loving. Sadly,it was to last only a short time, it was as if you knew. Complications set in.You were diagnosed as having kidney and liver problems, also throat cancer, i had to let you go.
Memories are such lovely things,
They last from day to day,
They can’t get lost,
They don’t wear out,
And can’t be given away.

 

Miss you always
Smurf
