"I want that one the chubby
cute one." I said to the owner.
   
   I picked him up and smelled
his doggy breath and kissed him.
   His name was Chief and he
was finally mine.

   Going home in the car he 
started yelping wanting to be
upfront with me.
   "Have patience Chief. We will
get acquainted when we're home."

  I held him close and he and
I were inseparable.
   He sat on my lap while I 
watched television.

   He would cry if I didn't let him
sleep with me.
   I always gave in.

   Years later he grew to be 88 
lbs. He was so handsome and
smart.
    As I sat on the sofa he would
still climb on me and I still held
him like he was a puppy.

  We played ball. I threw him the
ball but he always kept it. He 
did not like giving it up. It was ok
with me I wanted him to be 
happy.

  He had an appetite. I would
feed him five hamburgers. He still
would want more. I would say
Chief you had enough and he 
would give me his feel sorry for
me look. I would have to give him
one more.

 The love I had for him is beyond
words to convey.
  Many years we shared together
 I always felt loved by him.

    He got ill and he had an
operation that saved his life.
    I was devastated through the
whole process.

   He managed to make it 
through. I was so happy.
  Several years went by and
I had to take a trip to Northern
California. Before I left, I gave
him a hug and kiss. I told him
I would see him when I got back.

  I was away for about a week
when I got a call.  
 "Hello Michael," crying she
said. " I want you to say goodbye
one last time to Chief. He is in
terrible pain, and I'm sorry but I
have to put him down."
  " I'm at the Dr's Office here is
Chief."

   I went into shock when I heard
those words. I felt close to death
or what I imagined death to be 
like. I braced myself as the tears
flowed and my heart broke...

  "Chief I love you Chief, daddy
loves you! I miss you Chief. 
Chief, I will see you some day.
I love you, Chief. Chief, I love you.
Goodbye my Love! Goodbye
Chief, I love YOU!!!!!!"

  I heard him crying when I 
started talking to him. He knew
my voice.

 The pain I felt was cruel. The
thought of Chief being put to
death consumed my whole being
. A piece of my heart died with
him. It was one of the worst
days of my life. That part of my
heart Chief took with him that 
day and he will always have that
piece because it belonged to him...

  Chief was a Golden Retriever.
