Rest Well My Friend

After discussions with my vet i made the decision to let my Heartdog, Harm, be PTS. This was done at midday today, he slipped away while being held within my arms. There will never be another like him, he was a lovely dog, a great alpha and a loving friend. He stood with me through a lot of things and today was probably one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. As this is the last day of the year, it is almost fitting that it be his last day also. Tomorrow will be another day, another year and Harm will not be forgotten and will be forever missed.

A Pet's Prayer

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

And pain should keep me from my sleep

Then you must do what must be done

For this last battle can't be won

You will be sad I understand

Don't let your grief then stay your hand

For this day, more than all the rest

Your love and friendship stand the test

We've had so many happy years

what is to come can hold no fears

You'd not want me to suffer, so

when the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend

only...stay with me right to the end

and hold me firm and speak to me

until my eyes no longer see

I know in time, you will see

it is a kindness you do to me

although my tail its last was waved

from pain and suffering I've been saved

Don't grieve. It should be you

who decides this thing you do

we've been so close, we two these years

don't let your heart hold any tears

Smile:

for we walked together for a little while

May he rest in the sunlight within the Mothers garden until it's my time to claim him again.

Rest Well Harm

Oh no KK, my heart is breaking for you right now... ;) ;)

Go in peace old man, be free of pain, knowing you were loved as much as any dog could be, and that time will bring you back to her again. :thumbsup:
