With a heavy heart I say, Suzie Q peacefully passed away at the age of 14; I wrote something for her.
Yesterday
Yesterday we sat on the grass as the warm summer sun shined on us. Our faces kissed by a cool breeze, I know we don't have much longer left together
Yesterday we went for a walk. It wasn't our usual route, your bones are weary and you walk much slower but you wagged your tail the entire time.
Yesterday I had you groomed. You look so pretty, Your muzzle has started to grey and your eyes are slowly getting cloudy.
Yesterday we went to your favorite park. You're not as fast as you used to be but we got to the beach part and there was no stopping you from swimming.
Yesterday you stayed by my side the whole day. You could tell I was upset and was exactly the comfort I needed.
Yesterday you got caught in the rain when I let you out to play. You shook your fur all over the couch, I know I seemed angry but I could never stay mad at you.
Yesterday was the first time you brought back the ball when I threw it. We must have played for hours.
Yesterday was the first time you slept in your bed. Truth be told I was happy when woke up with you on my bed curled up.
Yesterday I gave you your first bath. I know you hated them but I couldn't help chuckling at how silly you looked soaking wet
Yesterday I got you for first Collar and Name tag. You couldn't help but grab a stuffed animal toy at the pet shop, Obviously, I bought it.
Yesterday was the first time I ever met you. That crowded pet store, all those dogs but I knew you were the one I wanted to have until the end.
All I have now are yesterdays, Because today......I had to say goodbye
Goodbye sweet girl.
So sorry about your loss. I'm pretty sure that I know that sting.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
