A Place for Our Pets
This is going to be a work in progress.
After the passing of BW we thought that making a page to remember
all of our previous pets would be a fitting tribute.

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak and pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done.
For this - the last battle- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand.
Don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest.
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years, what's to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend.
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree it is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail it's last has waved.
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
who has decided this thing to do.
We've been so close these many years.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
