Pretty Palomino

Sweetie, I am SO sorry to hear about your dog. It always hurts to lose such a dear companion. Although that type of pain isn't easy get over, something that helped when we were forced to make the painful decision to put down our 15 yo maltipoo (she was blind and had bad arthritis- we just couldn't be stingy enough to force her to go on that way), we made an area in our flower garden (and named it Maggie's Garden, after her) and bought a little memorial stone- I think it was appx $20,  that had a poem on it for her;

If tears could build a stairway,

And memories were a lane,

I would walk right up to Heaven

To bring you home again.

No farewell's were spoken,

No time for goodbye,

You were gone before I knew it,

And only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,

And secret tears will flow,

What is meant to me to lose you,

No one will ever know.
