I heard, that your hearts are heavy and full of sadness. Tomorrow you will help, not just one, but both of your senior Labs across the bridge. Face it, they say we own our pets, but basically they own us. They own our hearts. They have us hook, line and sinker. There is nothing better than being owned in such a way.
They own us, but in many cases we have to decide when it's time to say goodbye. It is our last gift of love for them. I think we'd all agree that decision sucks, sucks royally. Yet how could we deny them comfort? All of their years with you they gave you unconditional love and comfort beyond measure. Mixed in with antics and shenanigans. They made you laugh, and worry, and they eased your pain in the sad times. They gave with unbridled joy and tails wagging to beat the band.
So tonight you cuddle them, give them unlimited treats and whisper I love you's. You thank them for taking up residence in your heart. You know your last gift of love is the ultimate gift of love. And while you doubt your ability to let go, you will do so with a strength you don't know you have.
With your sorrow, know that you provided for all of their needs. Know your love for them was only exceeded by their love for you. Know that you are not alone, are never alone. Know that they are so very well loved, and you will see them on the other side of the bridge.
Sending you love and hugs......and a smooch on the schnozzle for them.
