I am just writing this to let Beau, my bichon frise , know that he is always missed by his family. Almost a year ago today was the death of one of my best friends. Beau was the cute dog in the window at the pet store and my sisters and I just had to have him. We all loved him so much, but he formed a special bond with my older sister. Always sleeping in her bed and following her around everywhere she would go. Beau was only about 10 years old when we took him to get a haircut and they discovered two large lumps on his neck. He had cancer forming and it was too late to treat. Knowing that it was too late and that he would die any day was the hardest part. Beau struggled to live each and every day and it was so hard to see. My sister, knowing he would die, would never leave our house unless she had to because she needed to spend every last minute with him. Then , my sister had her college graduation on May 20th 2001 and everyone in my family went besides me and Beau. I remember waking up that morning not feeling good but i spotted Beau laying in my room on the floor and i got up made sure he was ok and went back to sleep. Then about 3 hours later i got up again to check on him and he had passed away. There was no one home for hours and there was nothing i could do but sit there and cry. I knew the hardest part would be to tell my sister, so finally i got in touch with my family and i wasnt sure if i should tell them over the phone or wait until they were home, but they told me they wouldnt be home for a few hours so i told them then and they rushed home. I will never forget the look on my sisters face when she saw him laying on my floor dead. I wish you were still here with us Beau i miss you so much along with everyone else in the family. I hope to see you again =)
