My friend from the moment I first held you in my arms I felt a spark and I knew we were going to be best friends. When I brought you home for the first time you explored your new yard and your new home. Within a week of being together we bonded and you would come when I called your name, even from across a field you would come running into my arms. As you grew from puppy to dog our bond became stronger and inseparable, where ever I went I was sure to know you would never be far behind.
As time went by you gave me so much love and I loved you back, they say a dog is man's best friend and they are right because you were my best friend. I could always trust you with my secrets and you would never judge me like many around me do. I enjoyed all our playtimes together...like when I when I would throw your toy and you would go retrieve it and place it in my hand for me to do it all over again.
On days when I felt blue you would do your best to comfort me by placing your big head on me and look up at me with your warm eyes with so much love in them. I enjoyed our time at the river on hot sunny summer days and just relaxing on the floor in front of the fan at night. But my friend it seemed to happen over night..even though I know it did not, you got sick and it pained me to see you like this. I knew I would have to say good-bye though I wanted to hold on but I couldn't be selfish my friend.
It hurt so much to make that choice and when that time came I refused to leave your side. I held your big head in my arms and stroked to try to comfort you so you wouldn't be scared. I whispered to you that it was going to be alright and soon you not be in pain anymore. Even though you were gone I continued you to hold you in my arms and tell you I was sorry and how much I loved you. I will always treasure the time we spent together, you will aways have special place in my heart. Because something happened to my heart the day I met you and even though our time together is over we're still joined at the heart. All the memories we made will be tucked away in my mind for the rest of my life.
