Back on the old Yahoo message boards, we had a poster that stopped with the going back of forth and wrote a heartfelt post about his faithful dog dying. I could never do the original post justice but I read it many times and it always moved me.....so here it is to the best of my memory.
"I had to dig a hole today....the hole wasn't near as hard to dig as it was to fill it. We raised her from a puppy and you will never find a more faithful or loyal dog. She would wait, watch for me to put on my shoes and then she would accompany me to the mailbox that was a good walk because we have a farm and not close to the road. As she got on in years and struggled to make the walk, she never lost the enthusiasm. She watched over us like the faithful companion that she was until she passed on....she was a tried and true friend."
