PUT ME TO
REST
Time to let
me go my friend,
Because my life no-one can mend,
Its better to let me go this way,
Than watch me suffer night and day.
I'm happy to go, my time has come,
My quality of life is no longer fun,
I’ve been so ill, so its not a bad thing,
To let me go forever resting.
Stay with me till I drift away,
Fast asleep forever I pray,
To relieve me from suffering and pain,
What more can I ask from my best friend.
Don't be sad, I'll be free from pain,
Never to be ill ever again,
I know you'll miss me being there,
But all the memories you have to share.
Thank you for being my best friend,
And all my needs that you did tend,
Try not to be sad, try not to cry.
Now's the time to say GOODBYE.
Love,
Rufus
We should have taken Rufie in last week, but we waited until Granny Daze was over. Here's a photo of Rufus with his five best friends!!!
And that's the way it is...........................................
Another beautiful baby on Rainbow Bridge......what a joy for all of us it will be when we can once again join them......love, peace, and a hug to you.......
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry to hear about Rufus. The only thing sadder would be to watch him suffer.
ReplyDeleteI know you will miss Rufus. Thinking of you during this sad time. I know he had a wonderful life.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear, I am so sorry. But happy that Rufus has been put out of his misery...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry..but as pet owners we know that when old age comes and they are suffering we have to do what is best for them..but it sucks. He will be running through the grass waiting at the bridge for you... I have a whole group waiting there and it never gets easier. Sending you a hug:)

ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry. You did the right but hardest thing a pet owner ever has to do. I will try to remember those words when I am faced with the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry--that is the hardest thing to do, we've been there! May your memories be of comfort to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry , we had to put down our 13 year old Buddy last spring , leaves a big hole in our heart but wonderful memories. Take care.
