"Letting Go" ***to Brandy and Wendy*** I've had the two of you since I was just a small kid We always had fun, no matter what we did You two are the best dogs a girl could ever had And letting you go makes my heart very sad But you are old now and living in pain You aren't young and free anymore, it just isnt the same To keep you would be selfish, and not the right thing to do So we must let you go, just know I love you Some people think its dumb to care for pets, they just don't understand You never ask for much, never do you demand When I would cry, you'd be there to catch my tear To lick my face, and say with your eyes have no fear You are a part of our family, the oldest and wisest of the bunch And I forgive you for everything, even stealing my lunch Off to doggie heaven you will go, we will miss you both very much And I thank God everyday for our lives you did touch amys note: this is to my dogs who we have to put down soon |

Amy, I'm sorry that your dogs have to be put down. I don't have any of my own, but I don't think it's dumb at all that you care for them so much, because they become like added family members. ((((Hugs)))) Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Nothing dumb about this at all... they love you and you love them and yes, they do become a part of the family. Hugs to you. Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
