"Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I cannot bear to watch" or "let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for me, if you are there, even my death. And remember, I will always love you"....
And so it was, when my Mom and Dad had to say goodbye today to their beloved Adam. They were there. At 16 you could say he had a long and happy life, he lived with them the whole time - something that some dogs could not say. He traveled with them, celebrated joys and got threw sorrows...they were great "parents" and he was a great dog. But, we all know that dogs just don't live long enough.. so, we love them as much as possibly can in the times we have together... and we cry with broken hearts when they say goodbye.........
