If the time comes when I become frail and weak
And the pain keeps me awake
Then do what must be done
The last battle cannot be won.
You'll be sad, I understand
But don't let grief stop you.
On this day, more than any other
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We've had so many beautiful years
You wouldn't want to see me suffer any more.
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where someone will take care of me
And stay with me until the end.
Hold me tight and talk to me
Till my eyes can see no more.
I know in time you'll agree
That this is a kindness you've done me.
Though my cock wagged for the last time
You've saved me from misery and pain
Don't feel sorry
That it was you who had to make this decision
We've been very close all these years
Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by grief.
...your 4-legged friend, who thanks you for giving him such a beautiful life!
