"Old softy"? Don't you believe that. I've been called a "tough old bird' and a "genuine hard ass", but I've cried, really sobbed out loud, twice in my life; once when my Mother died and once when my Annie, my dachshund, died. There's something special about the way our pets can love unconditionally...

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Well said. Whoever wrote this was in the hearts and minds of all our loyal canine friends.
Very sad but true poem. :cry: :cry:
If all else fails--look for the obvious

Sorry to hear that. We all know it will happen sometime, but still aren't prepared for when it happened. On the plus side: Your pal had a long and happy life.
