To a Special Friend so rare that there will never be another!!
Dear Tutor, Mama wants to say thank you for all the wonderful years that I was blessed enough to have you in my life and now as well as then you are in my heart burning bright like the shining star that you were and always will be. You never judged me you just loved me no matter when I came in your tail wagged to say hello I missed you,you even did this in the morning when I would pick you up and carry you into the living room to your special pillow as to which Baby is keeping warm for you,she hopes that you don't mind.You had some rough times young lady,when your back went out before that every night you would kick me in the back right before you went to sleep and so in the time that the good Lord above,Doc and Miss Kim were trying to help you get better,I never told anyone but I said a little prayer every night for you to kick me and then one night you did,you got better for me and you loved me more it seemed because you were my friend.You were doing really good it seemed a little stiffness but hey you were getting older and we all go through that and then you got the growth that nothing could be done with but you dealt with all the poking and prodding and pain because after all you were my friend.Dear friend you have heard me cry and laugh and you have even went so far as to protect my food even if it meant having to drag it off my plate,we shared no problem that's what friends do and you were my friend. I had decided to make every day count and you loved to be outside digging in the sunshine and so I threw a bandage on you and carried you down the steps and said have at it because you were my friend after all and friends carry each other,the next day you couldn't wait to get out there and so I took you out and sat you down and happened to look out the window and see you sitting in the middle of the yard and I thought okay she needs some help and so I came out and carried you to your favorite spot only to look out and see you sitting in the same spot starring at the window and so I picked you up and brought you in because you were my friend,and when I put you down even though you couldn't speak to me using your voice,your sweet soul spoke to my heart as you looked up at me,there was a sadness in your eyes that I had never seen before and you said mama I'm tired,WHY are you doing this to me?I've been there for you all these years being your friend and now all I ask is that you do one last thing for me.That night I e-mailed Miss Kim and being the Angel that she is,she understood and the next day we made the appointment. You being the brave little soul that you are were not nervous for once going to visit Doc and Miss Kim,I kept promising you on the way there that after this visit there would be no more pain and you sweet friend you seemed to understand because you were my friend and friends understand each other.We got to the office which seemed to take forever and you were as alert as ever and I was thinking am I doing the right thing and again because you were my friend you reassured my heart and so when we arrived,Miss Kim through tears in her eyes kissed your sweet little head and told you that she loved you and even though she couldn't tell you,you felt her say good bye from her heart because she was your friend.We went in to see Doc and through the laughter and joking about the 6'3 Doc that weighs 250lbs.with a steady hand thanks only to the good Lord above did what he had to do to help you feel what I had promised,he relieved you from your pain cause he was your friend,he and Miss Kim fail to mention the size of the heart of gold that carry is as big as they are.You laid down your sweet head that day and drifted away from me so fast,realizing that I'd never see your sweet face again or your wagging tail broke my heart,letting you go was the last thing I ever wanted to do,but you see my sweet friend I was able to let you go that day because my friend you asked me to and you never asked for much but on that day after you had done so much for me and cared when I thought no one else did,I for once had to do the right thing for you,because I was your friend!!Baby,Weedles,Fancy and Jelly Bean miss you and I miss you my friend,they don't understand why I didn't bring you home that day,it's like a secret between you Miss Kim Doc and I,for you see we know where you are,you are with Noodle running and playing and eating and drinking and getting your feel of the warm sunshine just like when you two were pups,playing in the meadows just this side of the rainbow bridge,never getting tired and especially no more pain.I do promise you my sweet friend you will never be forgotten,you do still live in me and I wait just like you for the day that I can hold you in my arms and see your sweet face and your tail wagging and we once again are together,never to be apart again as we walk across that bridge of pure love because we ARE FRIENDS!! Love until then and always Mama--
