I'll always remember the day you bounded into my life
Cradling you in my arms I wouldn’t let go
I buried my head in your soft brown fur
Then cried with happiness at my first puppy
I’d dash home from school so eager to see you
You were always waiting for me when I walked through the front door
Your tail wagged so fast I thought it would drop off
You’d fetch your lead and sit waiting impatiently
How you loved going for long walks
Rain or shine we would always be together side by side
The muddy puddles fascinated you -
Oh, you couldn’t wait to splash and play just like a toddler!
You were my constant companion for many many years
Over time your health deteriorated
Our walks got shorter and shorter…
I'll always remember the day you were leaving my life
Cradling you in my arms I couldn’t let go
I buried my head in your soft brown fur
Then cried with sadness as the vet put you to sleep
