Array ( [sid] => 123537 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Final Farewell [time] => 2006-07-22 12:35:08 [hometext] => In Memory Of My Best Friend And Fiercly Loyal Dog... Benny [bodytext] => I still remember the first time I saw you like it was yesterday
From the moment I saw your big brown puppy dog eyes through that cage..
Those eyes that seemed like they pierced me down to my soul..
I knew you were the dog that I just had to have..
My mom didnt think it was a good match, You and I..
But to me you were the only one..
And here it is 6 years and thousands of amazing moments together..
I am counting the days until you depart this world..
I dont know what the people had done to you.. But I know that if they hadn't done what they did..
My best friend would not have to be euthanized..
You bit someone.. For a split second you lost your judgement.. And because of that moment I am losing you..
I know it has to be done.. For the safety of others..
Now I am looking back on the times that you have been there with me..
All of the arguements with the parents.. Fights with friends and family..
You were always on my side.. And I was always on yours.. We were two different beings bonded for life through our loyalty to one another.. Until your very last breath.. I will be as loyal to you as have been to me..
I give you my word.. I will be the last person you see when you leave this earth..
That way you know that you have been and forever will be a part of me.. You are emblazoned into my soul..
And even though I have no idea what it will be like coming home from work..
And not having you waiting for me with your tail wagging furiosley..
And I cant even fathom how much I am going to miss just seeing your face in the window when I leave to go somewhere..
Or having you jump on me because you miss me soo much..
I wish I could spend all of the time in the world with you..
But I have to cram all that time into one weekend..
Thats all I get.. Why.. Why did the people have to abuse you..
They scarred you for life and in turn cost me the greatest friend I have ever had..
So what if you couldn't say words.. All I needed you to do to make me smile was to look at me with those amazing eyes..
And all of a sudden everything seemed right in the world.
Even though you are leaving me now.. Long before it was your time to go.. I would not go back in time to get another dog..
I still believe whole-heartedly that you were the one for me..
I just hope that in your time that I have brought you as much joy and showed you the same amount of love and loyalty that you have shown me in your short life..
As you are fading away.. I will be holding you tight in my arms so you know you will be safe.. And I will be crying and telling you how much I wish you didnt have to go and how much I love you..
I WILL be the last person you see before you pass away.. And I know someday we will meet again... Just like the good old days..
So heres to you Benny.. The perfect definition of man's best friend.. I love you from the depths of my soul.. And to you I wish the most grief filled goodbye.. Farewell my friend.. We shall meet again someday..

I can't even comment on this cause it hits too close to home, but I have to say something....


I am sorry you are losing your best friend, and even sadder to know the reason why...I just had to put my boy down 3 months ago yesterday, and it still tears me apart. I'm sorry I can't give you more of a comment, but thank you for posting this.
