Babe

I remember... when I chased the girls around the yard in the snow. you always gently shouldered me out of their path! protecting them, while loving me! I remember... when I walked you, towards the end, you simply laid-down, I carried you home I remember... Mom called me at work, said you wouldn't eat, or drink your water, I came home to you I remember... taking you to the Vet, he said your body was filled with lymphoma I remember... holding you as you slipped away, after the injection I remember... arriving home home and screaming "what have I done to you Babe Ruth" I remember... waking in my slumber to the sound of your toenails clicking down the hall, coming to sleep at the foot of my bed I remember... hearing you come to me three-times, each time I arose, looking for you I remember... you were never there ....For Constance's All Pets Go To Heaven Contest
