Funny Pet Storys

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.

Remember me always, but do not grieve for me too long. I have tried always to comfort you in times of sorrow, and have made every effort to add joy to your life. I never wanted to cause you pain.
Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have eternal sleep in the earth I have loved so well.
Please, after your period of grieving for me, make room in your heart for another. You are the kind of human being that should always have a friend like me to love. Your kind and gentle heart should not be wasted on my memory for too long. Give your love to another. I know your
new friend will never take my place, because we
had something very special.
It may not be quite the same, but a new
devoted and loving companion will in time,
become special in their own way.
You loved me very much and I loved you.
My spirit will always be with you, and no
matter how deep my sleep, my grateful heart
will always remember you.”

Randy was first “advertised” on the dog rescue listserv by someone who had seen him at a pet adoption day in New Hampshire. He was a nice “elderly” collie in a kill shelter and his time was running out. Local collie rescues had been notified but they were overfilled and placing an 11 year old dog is always a challenge so they had turned him away.I already had three dogs (and three cats) and didn’t need another dog. I didn’t even really *want* another dog. Two of my dogs are also “elderly” and I already spend enough time worrying about every sniffle and squeak. But something about this old guy really touched me.
