Amigo
Amigo:- July 13, 1996 - May 7, 2001
The people of PetHall regret the loss of Amigo, a mans best
friend.
Sweet Amigo, during your life you had no
letters after your name but to many you are a Champion in their hearts.
During your life you made many laugh and from your death you made many
love and that's a tribute to the dog you were. Your last night with us I
could see in your eyes that your battle with Lymph sarcoma was coming to
an end and it was up to me to end your battle with a trip to the vets in
the morning. This was to be my hardest moment and decision ever to make as
you were deep into my heart with the devotion and love you have shown me
in our few years together. Oh, what a night we had with you and mama and
me on the bed together just laying there telling about all the great
adventures you had and the stories you shared with many people.
I could
still see a tail wag as we talked and cherished the moment that you licked
my face. Yes, it was a very special night. As I suddenly drifted off to
sleep for a little while only to be awakened by your slight nudge as you
snuggled up to me we resumed our reminiscing as I saw the sparkle go from
your eyes, the tail wag stop, and felt your soul lift from your body. I
tried to be so brave for you, my good boy, but I could not hide my sorrow
any longer and my eyes opened up with the first of the many tears to
follow. As you lived your life so you passed into the spirit world with
the unselfish act of not making me suffer the trip to the vet, you passed
where you should have and in your way.
As I laid you next to the computer,
your favorite place to lay, the rest of the Wild Bunch passed to sniff for
the last time and pay homage to a fallen Amigo. It was then that I
realized all the torment that I was to go through when they make the trip
to join you, but that's the price we pay for love. Yes, your physical
being will be missed but I will always feel you in my heart. Now, as I go
out with the sun setting in the sky I can see butterflies dancing where
you lay only to change into fire flies as the night goes dark and I can
hear the insects and coyotes singing your praise. Amigo, you are sorely
missed.
