In two days I have to say ggobye to my dog Smokey.It will be Friday night because I work nights and I could never go to work after saying good bye to him.
He has been in my life for eleven years and he is now getting very thin and it is hard for him to walk at times, but then some days he runs with his sister as if to say " see dadddy I can still do it, please keep me around longer."
Smokey I want to with all my heart and soul. I do not want to have to tell my daughter who is six that you are gone, I do not want to tell your sister Katie that she will be alone with out you , and I do not want to see my first born boy Smokey man go. But I have to let you go now before you are in alot of pain and the once big dalmation is reduced to not being able to walk.
Buddy I will miss you every day and please forgive me for not holding you when your time comes, it is something that I am not strong enough to do but your mommy will be there to hold and love you until you cross over the bridge.
I hope I can do this for you friday night..
