My dog Bert had a great life. I love him sooo much and will forever and longer. He was my best and most closest friend and companion. My family put him to sleep yesterday at 11:00 AM. He was suffering of old age with coomers, blindness, and losing his hearing. He could bearly walk. I was at school wishing I staid home with a picture of Bert in my pocket. I've had Bert since before I was born. My mom found him in the woods. I really didn't want to let him go. But I no longer wanted him to suffer. So when I got home i noticed Berts runner was gone. I was able to keep his collar with his three tags on it. When You shake it a little it sounds like him when he walked around. I cryed for a long time. On my dresser theres a picture of me and him in a frame with the dog collar wrapped around it. I'll miss him so much. I wish there was some way he could come back. I love you Bert and I'll always miss you and you'll always be in my heart ~~~* Melanie *~~~
