WHEN A PET DIES THAT WARM PLACE IN YOUR HEART SUDDLY BECOMES EMPTY
AND AS IN ALL PAINFUL EVENTS IT WILL TAKE TIME TO GET OVER THE LOSS
BUT WE REALIZE AS TIME PASSES THAT ANIMALS HAVE A WAY OF TEACHING US ABOUT LOYALTY, JOY, AND FRIENDSHIP, AND THAT WHATEVER WE HAVE SHARED IN THEIR PRESENCE CAN NEVER REALLY BE LOST!
YOU'VE GIVEN ME SO MANY MEMORIES,
YOU'VE BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY,
BUT THIS DECSION THAT I HAVE MADE,
WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT OF MY LIFE,
I KNOW PETS DON'T LAST FOREVER,
AND EVERY CREATURE WILL DIE,
BUT WHY DOES IT HURTS SO MUCH INSIDE ME, LOSING YOU KNOWING YOUR MINE
YOUR CHESTNUT FUR STILL GLISTENS,
YOUR EARS ARE ALWAYS UP,
I WANT TO BELIVE YOUR FREE FROM PAIN,
BUT DEEP DOWN I KNOW YOUR NOT,
NOW THAT I'VE MADE THIS DECISION,
I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW IT'S BEST,
I CAN'T KEEP YOU FOREVER,
BUT YOU MEAN SO MUCH MORE THEN A PET
YOU'VE CARRIED ME THROUGH THE COUNTRY
YOU'VE PERFORMED FOR ME IN THE RING
WHEN WE WON OUR FIRST RIBBON, I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD END,
BUT THERE MUST COME A TIME I NOW REALIZE IN MY HEART
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR DARK BROWN EYES AND TELL YOU WE MUST PART
I PROMISE I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU
I'LL REMEMBER THE "DEB"I NEW
YOUR SPIRIT IS NOW UP IN HEAVEN
BUT I'M STILL ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU...
