What We Did For Love......

 

Big Boy, 7 1/2 years old, Over the Rainbow Bridge Oct 9, 2020

I kissed you goodbye today, with sweetness and sorrow. Wish me love and the same to you.

I can never regret what I did for love of you, and what you did for love of me. 

You were a gift to borrow, its as if you and I always knew we were meant to be.

 Love is never gone, as we travel on, me here on earth, you in heaven as an angel. 

Love's what we'll remember. Good bye my heart dog, 

Never forget what we did was for love... You ate from my fingers and fought so hard, you ate for love of me, I fed you for love of you. 

You struggled to stay with me, even on your last day, when your body was shutting down, you struggled to swallow what I gave you, you did it for Love. 

I hope the writer of this song, song by Josh Grogan, doesn't mind my using his words to soothe my broken heart.

 Big's aunt Myra sent the song in email to sooth my heart and it did. the lyrics and song you will find here....What I did for Love

Big mid day, 10/08/2020

You spent your last 24 hours laying on the tile floor, nothing moving but your eyes, but each time I asked, for love of me, you struggled to stand and move out side. You tried to pee, but could not, could not move around. Could not swallow what I placed on your tongue.

You tried and tried and watched me cry.

 At 3:30 am Friday Oct 9, 2020, I asked you to move and you could not.

My heart shattered when your Daddy said, he is done, and we knew you were, we rushed you to the Vet ER and it was confirmed the rainbow bridge was ready for you, that your kidneys had failed and God was calling you to run free in His Garden..

You left me at 4 am, laying in my arms, with your head on my shoulder, your talking eyes looking into my green ones saying, thank you Mama for 2 years and 8 days of heaven

You were my heaven and always will be.

I will always be glad, you spoke to me with your eyes and I said YES!

Good bye my Love, I hope the sun is shining in your heavenly garden and that you are lying pain free and breathing well.

I sent a message to Big's Shelter Home and they requested to use his photo and a eulougy. This is posted to their website.

On Oct 1, 2018, your incredible melting chocolate brown eyes connected with my eyes, and I loved you. You loved me and became my heart dog.

Big left his paw print on the heart of every human he met. He loved people, all people. When Amazon knocked on the door he sat waiting, hoping the man would come in and pet him.

My heart is shattered at his loss, but we had an incredible 2 years and 8 days with you, so Smart and loving, my beloved  Big Black Dog.. 

Miss you forever.

Big's Message to you, Adopt Shelter Dogs, you will never regret it. I made him a promise he would never see another shelter, and now I have kept that promise...

Thank you to Manatee county Animal Control shelter for our beloved.
