Goodbye Darling
You spent your last night next to me
I nursed you trying to stop the painbut your crying told me how much it hurt.....
Tati and I gave you meds we sang you lullabies but only my petting stopped you from crying, you lay on your little blue bed, you were so sick....
My little Darling, after seventeen years your time has come to say bye bye
I gave you a bath, the warm water seem to help a bit, but I could see that you couldn't move anymore...
I cried as I dried you, so thin and frail...my little darling
finally in the morning you slept but by nine you were crying again and I knew....
We drove you to the vet and she gave you a shot, you went quiet, as we caressed you
Dima, Tati and I around you all of us crying, and you so tiny so small..
with your little blackeyes going dim
and at eleven you gave two little breaths and you were gone....

Sonia, We had to take our little miniature long-haired dachshund, Lady, to the vet to be put to sleep this past Wednesday. When I read your poem, I felt like I was reading my own words. The experience was so much like mine. We had Lady for 15 1/2 years and she was my shadow. We miss her very much. Fondly, Gayle
Dear Gayle,
Darling and Lady are playing together, happy and pain free in heaven...
