As impossible as it is, you need to be there for him now as he's been for you all these years. If he is no longer enjoying the wonderful quality of life you've provided him, you need to let him know you understand and that you won't let him suffer. It's just so lousy, I truly know...Find some quiet time for just the two you and say everything you want to say to him--what he's meant to you, how perfect he's been, etc...(try to be brave while doing so in order to help him hear your loving words, not be worried about you), then be the person he's trusted you to be and let him go. I am deeply sorry and hope you can find some kind of solace in knowing you gave him the best life possible and all the love in the world. May God Bless...
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.' |
