Before I go

I want you to know

I loved when you rubbed my tummy.

I loved how you called me sweetie pie.

I loved when you

broke my treats into small pieces

the perfect size for me.

I loved when you kissed my ears and said

they were soft as silk.

I loved when you said “do you love your

mommy?” I always wagged and said

yes in my heart.

I loved when you would hide and I

would come find you.

I loved your laughter when I did silly things.

I loved when you lapped on my can of food

to get my attention before you led me.

I loved how happy I made you feel when you

came home

and I was waiting for you at the door.

I loved how you came to me for comfort

when you were sad.

I loved the way you took special loving care of me

when I got old and slowed down.

And most of all, I loved how you laid with me

when my time came

telling me the story I always loved

about the rainbow bridge

as you comforted me as I left you.

I left so very loved.
