My Buddy Jack

Postby jacksbuddy » Sat Dec 09, 2017 9:43 am

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The day we have been dreading has finally come. I had to take Jack to the vet for the final time. He has been a good friend for over twelve years. We have had some great times and he has been a good dog.

Please do not cry because he is gone. Instead, be glad because he lived and we had a great run.

Thank you one and all.
Nobody owes you anything.

Some of the hardest days ever but your attitude is the only way to approach it. Good memories and knowing you gave Jack a great life.

So sorry for your loss. Always tough to lose one. I know because I'm on lab number 12 going back almost 40 years. Have always subscribed to the best remedy for a sad heart is puppy breath.

I will lend to you for a while, a Pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three,
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and (should his stay be brief)
You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowd life's land, I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again?

I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness; we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve,
In memory of him we loved to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Pup, and love him all his life."
