Today I held you as you breathed your last. It hurt so much to let you go. As I cried into your fur, you turned those loving, trusting eyes on me and asked me to help you. I couldn't ignore your last request, not after all you have given to me. You were the most loving, wonderful Rottie in the world. Even though I hurt, I know you don't. I'll always remember your wonderful life, the waddling fluff who tripped over his feet, to the loving, supportive companion of later years. All you wanted was to be near me - playing, loving, or just being together quietly. I'll miss our little talks and you underfoot as I cleaned the house. You protected me from buzzards and planes flying in the sky; warned me when noisy vehicles and the ice cream truck was near; sang with the sirens of emergency vehicles, even those on TV. You were there for me when your daddy left, giving me all the love in your big heart. No one could ask for a better nurse. You wouldn't leave my side to eat or drink - I had to bring your bowls into the bedroom. You had so much love to give, I let you become a therapy dog. You only got to make one trip but you made a big impact on lots of people. Then you became ill. I thought you could bring love to others and prayed so hard you'd get well. But the Lord has called you to the Rainbow Bridge. I know you hurt no more; you're free and happy as you romp with the other dogs at the Bridge. Wait there for me, Prince. I'll come for you one day. Go with God, baby. I love you so much and I'll miss you. You'll always be in my heart.
Till we meet again, baby.
Prince Damien II, 4/21/87 - 6/10/96
