Murphy's Last Days

On Monday I was told that your days were numbered, your time on earth was short. To watch you walk pains me, as well as it does you, I didn't want to believe I was going to be losing you soon. Murphy my beloved pal, you spent most of the day on your side, then trying so hard to stand up. When you did walk, I saw you stop, staring off in the distance, so confused, not knowing what to do. I started giving you pain pills, in hopes you would start to eat again, but my dear friend, that was not to be. Only God knows how you feel, it hurts me deeply, I'm over flowing with sorrow and grief, as tears for you fills my eyes. Seeing you in such pain is tearing me apart, the hurt is more than I can bare, I now know what I must do. As I lay here in bed, seeing your beautiful, yet sad eyes looking over toward me, with sorrow, calling out for help. I will always love my dear dog and best friend, many years of happy and sweet memories of you my friend. I called the vet Tuesday, she gave me a time of 3 PM to bring Murphy in to be put to sleep. So tomorrow that is what I will do, as tears flowed once again, I placed my arms around you telling you how I loved you. I took many pictures of you, these last few fays, but a picture of you is in my heart and always will be. wrote 3-4-10 Memories of my dog Murphy last days, written a day after I had him put to sleep.
