Godspeed Brutus. You are very much loved and missed. Run free and without pain at the Bridge, knowing that one day you will reunite with your beloved human.
Its never easy to make that decision, but I am sure Brutus is thankful that you stuck by him til the end and fulfilled your promise to him. I love this poem and I hope you enjoy it too.
If it should be I grow frail and weak
and pain prevents my peaceful sleep.
Then you must do what must be done
when this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
Selfishness might stay your hand
But on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship take the test.
We've had so many happy years
That what's to come can hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes to let me go
Take me where my needs they'll tend.
Only - stay with me until the end
Hold me firm and speak to me
until my eyes no longer see.
I know, in time, you too will see
It is a kindness that you do for me,
Although my tail Its' last has waved,
From pain & suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve It should be you
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close we two these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
