Just three hours ago I put you to sleep. Me and daddy walked you in. You were unsure what was happening but wanted the pain to end. Maybe it was my selfishness not wanting you to depart, but how am I going to fill that void in my heart. A week ago Sunday you were happy as could be.
Last Wed we discovered the 2 huge lumps. 1 day later diagnosed with Lymphoma. Why couldn't we see. I felt we owed it to you to search for options. We did and discoverd what was best for you was to let you go. What was best for you was hardest to us. 13 years before you entered our home we had a dog name Sam she left us do to the same disease. You were supposed to be a Seeing Eye Dog, but due to your fear of men they failed you and you came home to us. Maybe it was fate that you came home to us because you would have been only able to do your job for 3 years. It doesn't seem fair that you were only with us for 6 years, last Friday was you Birthday. I held you as you left this life. Not even a week later we put you to sleep. It killed us to see you every day deplete so rapidly. We cried like babies as you leaving and I said to the vet Can you believe I am crying like this over a dog? He said " Yes, she loved you and you loved her maybe if there were more people like you the world it wouldn't be this messed up! What will I do when I come home and your not there to greet me? Even as sick as you were and how much pain you were in you even did it today. We miss you and you will never be forgotten.
