This is in loving memory of both the dogs we had.
Tony was the dog I grew up with as a child. He was always there when I needed him & he was my best friend at times. We never went on holiday when I was young because we couldn’t leave him with other people (we didn’t know anybody that would take him) and besides, we didn’t want to be away from him for much more than a day! We had Tony put to sleep when he was 19 years old because his body just couldn’t go on anymore. But I’m glad I had him with me for such a long time.
Davey we got as a puppy when Tony was about 16 years old. He loved his big friend (the feeling was not mutual, haha). I held Davey in my arms when they put Tony to sleep & cried & it felt as if he could sense what was going on. He looked around for his big bud for days…Luckily he got over it. He had a rare skin condition which made him lose all his hair, so he wasn’t a very attractive dog, but he was mine & I loved him unconditionally. Last night (Jan. 4th ’04) he had a massive stroke. We called the vet over immediately but he said there wasn’t much he could do anymore, except end Davey’s pain.
So with a lot of pain in our hearts, but knowing that was the best and only good thing to do, we had him put to sleep. I didn’t get to see him as much as I used to when I moved out of my parent’s place 2 years ago, but I still loved him dearly.
I'll never forget you both,
