Good Boy

He's been my loyal buddy for 13 years. He was my very first obedience partner. Today I had to make the heartwrenching decision to set him free from the body that was failing him.

Run free and play ball to your heart's content. You will always be with me. You were such a good boy.

It's never easy, but it's particularly harder with a dog that's so special. And I have this feeling that your words about him were just skimming the surface of how you felt about him, and releasing him is a testament to your love for him.

 

Rest gently, old boy and know that you were well loved.

I lost a treasured friend today,

The little dog who used to lay

His gentle head upon my knee

And share his silent thoughts with me...

 

He'll come no longer to my call,

Retrieve no more his favorite ball;

A voice far greater than my own

Has called him to His golden throne.

 

Although my eyes are filled with tears,

I thank Him for the happy years

He let him spend down here with me

And for his love and loyalty.

 

When it is time for me to go

And join him there, this much I know...

I shall not fear the transient dark

For he will greet me with his bark.

Via con Dios, beloved friend.

I really appreciate the kindness. It has helped me so much reading these posts. Hughie was an incredibly special dog and yes, I did only skim the surface of how I feel about him. It has to stay in my heart for now.

 

NorthfieldNick, it breaks my heart knowing what you're going through. Stay strong for your girl.

 

Thank you SO much.

 

Michele
