Fallen Souffle

Dear Georgie,
I woke up with morning with a broken heart because I knew that you were no longer with us here on earth. Our family has lost a member, an unlikely member when we first picked you up 12 years ago. You were young and somewhat scared, but you quickly fit into family tree. Your love for the tennis balls and any kind of cheese was never ending, and we will always remember the “I feel good runs” you did in the backyard when you were excited.

But then time took it’s toll and old age set in, you couldn’t quite keep up with the younger dogs, but you certainly tried. They learned so much from you. But we knew you weren’t happy, you weren’t our Georgie anymore, we could see you pain and the hardest thing for us was to let you move on. No one was prepared to make this hard decision but we could see in your eyes that you were ready to go.

I miss you so much already, your sweet face and quiet disposition will always be remembered. And I don’t think I will ever sneeze without thinking about your constant concern for us. I know we will all meet again one day, but until then we must learn to live with your loss and take it day by day, knowing you are now happy.

You were such a good dog to us and I hope you know we will always love you.
