King Arthur of the Roundpile

He was the best dog and friend I ever had.

I know if there is a place for dogs in heaven he WILL be there,

for he truly was a gentle soul, and loved meeting new people.

Those of you that got to meet him will agree.

Some people may think it silly of me to miss a dog this much,

but if you have ever had a dog as special as Arth, then you understand.

The tears come everyday since he has passed,

I know some day it will be easier and the tears will fade,

but he will always be in my heart, and I will hope that someday we will see each other again.

It's hard to lose a pet, and when you have to make the decision to put them down its even harder.

Arthur had grown old, and his body was getting feeble and weak.

He would have tried to live as long as he could to stay by my side, but I knew he was in pain,

you could see it in his eyes. I hated to make that hard decision, but I know it was the right thing to do.

That doesn't make it any easier to deal with. He might have lived a few months longer,

but he would have been in more pain and that was something I couldn't take seeing.

Arthur had a great life, he truly was a King.

He thought he was a person, and I was sure he understood what you said to him.

I guess that's all I can say at this time, things just don't seam right with him gone.

I know I will miss him for the rest of my days.

Update: 8-18-06 It has been a litle over 2 years since Arthur went to the Bridge, the tears are a little fewer these days, but I still can't look at his picture and not get tears in my eyes. I still miss him very much, even tho I still have Arthurs son Lance, and Gwenaveer, the mother of my pups, who will be 9 yrs old in October. I know Gwen has a very few years left to be here with us, and I know it will be just as hard to loose her.

Goodby my dear friend.
