I came over mom and dads house to pick up the kids yesterday and mom said you haven't ate in a week and to check on you under the porch your favorite place to lay. When i saw your lifeless body all i could do was cry. I got you when i was five and you have gone through many hard times with me, remember when i used to play with you in your dog house? and feed you off a fork that was my little trick i tought you, i remember the day it was time for me to move on and start my own family i felt so horrible leaving you behind but you were fourteen and i couldn't possibly take you away from mom and dad and the only home you have ever known. i still think about your tumor and how sad i was when you went into surgery i was so happy when i was able to take you home and spend three more years with you. i began to realize you don't have much time left after you had that stoke, you began to walk with your head sideways and it hurt me to think that you might be in pain although the vets said the meds you were on will help. i miss you like crazy people think i'm silly for crying but you weren't just my dog you were my best friend when i was a child i would spend everyday with you... i hope you are in better place and you know how much i love you every day. I hope that when its my time to leave this world you are there waiting for me. i will think about you everyday and remember the special times we shared.
