Array ( [sid] => 123724 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Memories [time] => 2006-07-26 21:12:08 [hometext] => Another poem about my dog Benny... RIP 7-24-06 Im kinda venting.. So it might not be very good [bodytext] => From the time you were six weeks old.. You were my best friend.. My first true friend..
I can still remember all of the good times that we had together.. Getting to know each other..
You sleeping on my bed with me almost every single night for 6 years..
All of the times we used to wrestle around..
All the times I defended you because you were chewing on the table legs as a puppy..
How much I loved coming home from school just to play with you and be near you..
You always were my protector..
And I was always yours..
You were my loving companion always ready to make me smile and laugh at you..
And whenever you were scared.. There I was with arms held out for you to jump in..
With me you were always safe.. Nothing could hurt you..
But when I was with you I got hurt worse than I had even been before..
It felt as if someone had reached inside of me and pulled out my insides.. Leaving me a hollow mess..
That hurt came when you had to be put down..
And as you lay on my lap with my arms around your head..
You passed away as I watched..
I watched my best friend die in my arms.. And that was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do..
But I told you that I would be the last person that you saw when you left ..
And I made damn sure that promise stayed true..
And now that you are gone.. My insides feel empty.. I feel broken..
I cry all the time.. And I think back on the times that we had and smile.. And I tell myself that I would give up anything just to spend another day with you..
Some people don't understand why I'm so upset.. But I dont care..
If they dont understand then thats their problem..
You you more than a dog to me.. You were my best friend.. My companion.. And a part of my soul..
Its impossible to forget something that is a part of who you are..
And I know the pain will eventually dull.. It will never completely go away..
But there isnt a thing in this world that would make me give up all of the amazing moments I have shared with you..

From all of my heart and soul I love you Benny and thank you for giving me the most amazing moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life..

Very sad but well written.
I know how you feel and you probably don't want another dog but you need to get another one 'cause it want takes his place but will help fill the void.
Hanf tuff, my friend.
luv, big huggs,
