An angel from heaven you came down, disquised in fluffy fur of black and brown. At 12 days old your mother stopped caring, so I took you in to love and to nurture. Your love I so desperatley needed, for I had a new found heartache, you took the pain away and replaced it with a new found joy. You were my child, my bestfriend, my world and those midnight feedings were a true joy. Your happy greetings at the end of the day always chased my rain clouds away. Your sloppy wet kisses were far from few, and walking with you was impossible to do. I tripped and stumbled you had to be stradled, I guess I should have just bought you a saddle. I remember that spring morning when you came to say goodbye as I was leaving for work. How was I to know that was your last kiss and the last gaze into those soft brown eyes. I remember your smell as I laid my head on your chest and I breathed in the sweetest smell God ever made. I wept on your heart hoping you could still feel my love, longing for your paws to hug me, and your kisses to wash away my tears. The 8 months I had you were not long enough, but better than not having you at all. Under our tree you now lay very still. I'll never forget the way you would stop to smell the roses on our nightly walks. I placed one for just yesterday. To bark, to play, you run no more, the noise I say is gone for sure. But in the wind I feel you, smell you, and know that you love me still. Thanks for all the times you cared and all of the love we shared. For in my heart you hold a special spot, and for the rest of my life you will truly be missed. I LOVE YOU my angel, my baby, my Bo "BoBo" I understand now it just time for you to go. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
