To My Dog

A Poem by RunawayWriter

Bella,

Saying goodbye to you today was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
I held you in my arms as you went to sleep.
I looked into your precious little eyes until they fell shut, then I kissed your sweet wet nose and told you I loved you.
Your tongue was sticking out as it always has and I handed you to the vet with the tears pouring out.
You were my best friend and my cuddle buddy, now nothing is the same.
I could barely eat my dinner tonight because you weren't laying at my feet like you usually do.
I couldn't play my favorite board game or lay on the couch to watch a movie because it
wouldn't be the same without you laying on my lap.
I couldn't sleep in my bed tonight because there was just too much room.
But it kills me to think about tomorrow.
To think how badly my heart will break when I wake up and realize it wasn't just a terrible dream,
when I open my eyes and not see you right next to me, waiting for me to get up.
When I put dog food in one bowl instead of two.
When I only need the blue leash and not the red one.
When I come home to one furball and not two.
When I no longer have cute puppy dog eyes looking at me as I lay on the couch so I know you want up.
When there is no need to lift a little dog up on my bed to go to sleep.
And I no longer kiss you goodnight.

Awww so sorry to hear I do know the feeling. My Landon is my true friend we fit lol it's so wild. This was a very heartbreaking write I am sure but one thing you have are memories. I always said I can never live this again but I did many times. And I am glad because I saved my Landon from being killed. We save their lives and they give us a true life to see:)
