What do you say?
What do you say to a mate thats been there for 14 years
What do you say to those faithful eyes that look at you as if to say "Why am
I here, what have I done wrong?"
What do you say, how do you tell him that it has all come to an end, all
those years of faithfullness ...
Even as I warmed my bike up for a ride and he knew he couldnt come, he would
bid me farewell and always be there waiting when I came home .... no
problems, he knew that my time on my bike is my time, he knew I would be
back (and usually in a better mood than when I left)
What do you say to the vet when he suggests its time to put your old mate
down?
I would like to think that in the morning he will be there as usual, waiting
for breakfast, waiting and hoping that I might have time to throw the ball,
even for just a minute, he wouldnt care......

What do you say ......

Just a dog ..... I think not !!!

Hardest thing I ever had to do was shoot my best mate. He knew, he´d been
on many shooting trips. He just looked up with those sad puppy dogs eyes,
cocked his head to one side, gave me a look of relief then turned away. Second time around
the vet asked if I wanted to watch!

I hope it was a different dog and you didnt miss badly. (not meant as a joke, cause the other option would suck for you n the dog.

This is an emotional day today. First I get the story of a poor innocent
kid, molested and destroyed by the bastard of step father, now a put down
the dog story, and then we had Slim Dusty yesterday as well.
I've seen a couple of my best mate's go, and each time I swore I couldn't
live through it again. Watching them lie there as the vet puts in the needle
and they look at you as if to say ' it's ok, I've had a good life mate'.
I've had one too many beers and I think it's time for bed...

Of course, and no, I don´t miss (or didn´t when I was allowed too). Yes,
it was a joke.

I didn't know the dog either and don't care. Dog dies of old age, wow!

Slim Dusty dies and I don't care. I would appreciate it if they buried
every copy of every song he ever sang with him.

Child dies violently before having a chance to live life, I care.
