To many sad poems going through my head
Knowing in a few days this little soul may be put to rest
Each time we walk, there are sprinkles in my eyes, trying to make the most of those paws following mine
Will it ever be the right time to say goodbye, to love enough to end any suffering or pain
Eternally grateful to have such devotion and loyalty, keeping all candles of purpose and meaning burning bright inside me
Never will it be easy to let eyes fade into black, but never will I not see them each time I look back.

- Comment from author about the poem: It's be a wee while but needed to get this one out of me... over the past few years our old boy Jack has been having fits, lost his hearing and can only see straight but not that far. The only time he's really happy is those few hours each day he's out and sadly that's getting harder for him. Standing in corners and always pacing has become he's routine. Friday he is booked in for an assessment and I truly believe he's lived the best life and we love him enough not to keep him suffering or before the mind loses all grip on reality. Much peace and respect. I always read any comment but sometimes can't find the words to respond, I'm sure you understand.

Hello, friend, it's been awhile. Your poem, so sad, and rightfully so! It's so hard to part with our four legged friends as they are our companions. I hope whatever is best happens. Much peace and respect!
Oh Dan - your words in this poem show the very hard task of saying goodbye to a devoted and loyal four-pawed friend - -- -like me all pet lovers will relate to this ode on the heart-breaking moment when love lies lifeless on a vet's bench after the needle orders its end. With you in thought as dear Jack has his further assessment.
Good day, A very sad but beautiful poem. I have two cats that are over ten years old and I will really be sad when they are gone, best regards.
Thanks Dan. Any pet owner who has loved their pet will know that feeling of grief you so clearly describe.
The ageing process happens to us all - (pity your average pet can't live longer) you and me, but especially me.... Would that humans could make it that easy to go when the time comes.
Such sad words Dan, but Jack has had a good life and will be remembered.
As a memory I have my parents had a red setter called Shane who eventually passed over and I can remember my mother saying: "The rhubarb in the garden has never tasted as good now Shane has gone"

That is so sad Dan,
I'm truly sorry to hear that,just remember that he will be playing in the hills of Heaven,doing everything he ever loved to do,and he will be waiting to be reunited with you
I'm too weak with
such heart-breaking topics, so sorry for your hurt my friend
crazy,
we complain about our ephemeral life's
yet these gentle creatures, get so much less
so unfair
