My dog Gretchen who died April 9 2004.
The Day We Met
By: Justis age 11
The day I was born you were as cheerful as can be. You licked me on the face, and I laughed. I was so happy and I could tell you were too. but as I got older you did to. Your smile started to fade and you did to. I knew you would die but not that soon. I helped eat and go outside. I could tell you were happy again oh what a joy. But sadly you left, without saying " Goodbye." I didn't get to hold you or say " I love you" at least one last time. If you can hear my voice " COME BACK GRETCHEN I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!" hoping you would apper just like that I was wrong. It was time to say goodbye for our final time. You were my first friend but I guess this is the end. I wish I was not saying this but..." Goodbye Gretchen. I will never forget you. My furry little friend." I love you forever and always Gretchen.
