Ginger ? - 2006

[alwaysachowmom]

We adopted Ginger from a pet store. She found herself welcome in our hearts and until the day we had to put her down, she was the most faithful and stubborn dog we had. Her stubbornness is what made her special to us. It was kindof funny. Before her passing, she became blind and had cushings disease. After many trips to the vet, we had to put her down, bacause she was dehydrated and not eating or drinking. For those of you who get frustrated with your chow, please be patient with them. We only had Ginger for 2.5 years . We plan on adopting another when we find one. :

If it should be I grow frail and weak,
And pain should wake me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I'll understand,
Don't let your grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come will hold no fears,
You'll not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes, please let me go.

I know in time, you too will see,
It is a kindness you do me,
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering, I've been saved.

Do not grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
