A Good Bye To A Best Friend

[Jerbear]

Matt I am sorry to hear about your loss.  Our lab is a member of the family.  Should something happen to him, I will not get another lab.  I don't think that I could even come close to a replacement.  If you have time and feel up to it, give me a call tomorrow night   Again, sorry about your loss.

 The Last Battle
 
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
 
You will be sad, I understand,
Don't let the grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
 
We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
When the time comes, please let me go.
 
Take me where my needs they'll tend
And stay with me, if you can, to the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
 
I know in time, you will see,
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last was waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
 
Don't grieve that it should be you,
Who must decide this thing to do,
We've been so close, we two, these years;
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
 
Smile, for we walked together for a little while.

Sorry for your loss.

Hope you get another pup soon.
