Heres a poem I've kept on my refrigerator with a photo of my little poodle, Joline, since loosing her way back in April 1985. She was 14 yrs old and lost all functions, probably diabetes but not treated like today. I held her in my arms when the injection was administered. It was so painful but I wanted to be with her when she passed. She was so precious to me. It took me 14 yrs later to get another dog and I have 2 little yorkie sisters now, 2 yrs apart ages 8yrs and 10 yrs old I got from pups from their same parents. I dread ever loosing them now. I'm sorry to all those who have lost their pets, here is the poem:
MY BEST FRIEND
I just lost a special friend
Who meant a lot to me.
A true companion, always there,
She was a dog, you see.
If I poured troubles out to her
It seemed she understood.
She'd lick my hand as if to say
"I'd help you if I could."
She was so glad when I'd come home
Her tail would wag with glee.
I think she waited all day long
For one small pat from me.
She asked for little - gave so much
As at my feet she'd lay.
How much I miss her, no one knows
The ache is there each day.
Within my heart I always knew
That all good things must end,
And I'm grateful for the memories,
Sleep well, my little friend.
