Goodbye christmas

You have been there everyday
i have had u since as long as i can remember,
how i remember the day u came into my life
it was at the end of December

the day u came into my life,
it was Christmas morning
u were the big Christmas present
u came into our lives without warning

you were just a puppy
licking everything in sight
you could barely walk
you were so harmless, u would never ever bite

you brought everybody happiness
made everybody smile
you gave everyone strength
made our lives worth while

over the years you grew
and over the years, as did I
I loved u so much
you were the apple of my eye

you were such a smart dog
you knew all the tricks
from rolling over to giving your paw
you even played fetch with sticks

now you're very old
and i know that u are dieing
I need you so much in my life
I cant stop myself from crying

now you have to go to sleep
forever your eyes will close
god ill miss u so much
ill even miss your annoying wet nose

this will be so hard
now our happiness will drain
I'm sorry i must say good bye my chum
and we must end your pain....

*this is by josh, and I just had to put my dog to sleep and it was the hardest thing that I've ever had to go through
