labsrule Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) A more loved dog you would not findA beautiful soul, loving heart, friendly & kindA once in a lifetime dearest & truest friendA mum with a broken heart that will never mend Together we were inseparable, the unbreakable deep bond forged long ago Fate brought us together, our destinies entwined, it would seem soKindred spirits and soulmates, a connection few could really understandSide by side we journeyed through life, in step in paw and handOur blissful wonderful happy life was turned upside down that fateful dayWhen you were diagnosed with the awful Hemangiosarcoma in early MayThe prognosis was so grim and you deserved every chance of a longer lifeBut I vowed and declared treatment would be stopped, any time you got into strifeThat time arrived and I said no more, as quality of life you must have above allEnd of July 3mth check, no spread, so joyous, but 6 weeks later you hit the wallI cried as I took you in for a checkup as I knew the beast was gaining the upper handThe cancer had spread to your lungs and your body could no longer withstandWith limited time together so precious, I couldn’t bear to leave your sideI lovingly stroked you and held you and soaked your fur with many tears I criedWhen you looked at me with those beautiful tired eyes that said I have had enoughI knew I had to help you my darling, but the decision was so gut wrenchingly toughEach day I would take you for a long car ride as it gave you so much pleasureFrom puppyhood to your very last day your beloved car ride you would treasureSo it was most fitting that after your last ride you chose it as your final resting placeI could not deny you, so I stayed close and tried to prepare for what we were to faceAs I held you and told you over and over how much I loved you and what you meant to meYou laid your head down one last time, I was screaming on the inside in so much agonyThe love of my life, my beautiful boy, my baby, my dearest & truest friend was goneOh the devastation, the unbearable pain, you were the best part of my life for so longMy beloved, beautiful boy, your loss is so profound, I am struggling to breatheI have plunged to the depths of despair at your passing, so heavy do I grieveEnveloped in darkness, it swirls overhead, threatening to consume my beingI can barely function, I stumble around and look without really seeingAn unbearable, overwhelming sadness, is all I have been able to feelSuch emptiness and a shattered heart that I know will never healI have cried rivers of tears for you and the wounds they cut so deepI ache for you, I miss you desperately, without you I am incompleteI dreaded this day your whole life through knowing the pain to comeBut knew I would always be there to the end loving you always as your mumLife will never be the same without you, my beautiful darling boySo much love, fun and happiness, you brought me such immense joy I will love and miss you for an eternity my darling boy. Even though you were cruelly taken before your time, I am so thankful that you lived each day like it was your last. You truly enjoyed life to the fullest with that wonderful beautiful spirit of yours that brought so much joy, laughter, mayhem, havoc and so much happiness. You leave so many truly wonderful memories from an adorable scallywag and gorgeous rascal youngster who wreaked much havoc and mayhem through to a beautiful adult who charmed everyone, both human and dog alike, along the way as “Mr Socialable” personified. You were such a great dog, such a good boy and I am so thankful that we got to spend so much time together and do so much together over the years and I know you lived more in your 10 years than most dogs get to live in a lifetime. I will be eternally grateful to Karen the wonderful vet and her assistant for the tenderness, caring, kindness, respect and dignity shown to you on that terrible day. Run free darling boy and Cassie and Chaz will take good care of you until we all meet again Loving you always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mum, Thomas & Tournie Some of my favourite pics of you over the years Edited October 4, 2009 by labsrule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
