Goodbye Baby
Today we took Phoebe, age one year,  to the vet to put her to sleep. My wife found a new term for doing this. Iinstead of putting the dog down she graduated, because as my wife put it, Phoebe is doing to heaven so she is not going down therefor she graduated and is moving up ( to heaven).
My baby was loving, kind and loved by all who met her and it is my wisg to share this humble peom with you in her memory.



I feel the warmth of you sweet lithe body, the strength of your heart beating as you rest in my lap.
Slowly my hand caresses you silky smooth softness as the lights reflect off your bright shining blackness. The gleam of your eyes shining as you look deep past my eyes into my soul and see the love for you that lives in my heart.
Even pain and suffering does not still your desire to fill my lap with your warmth as you let your stillness show your contentment and happiness when we are together.
Bond by the ties of love many will never know or ever fathom our love will always be forever.
As others speak in memories of you and they see me smile I am counting my blessings of having known you, my sweet darling Phoebe, for even this short while.
I love you baby

I'm so sorry for your loss. That is a great way to think about our babies leaving us. I was very touched by the poem. Tell your wife that she is in our thoughts.

My deepest sympathy.  I know what it's like to lose a great dog.  Your poem touched me and made me remember good things about my beloved Bianca who left us 17 years ago.  I hope you and your wife know that we all feel your pain, also.
