Rupert and I had a perfect day to day. If I had only known this afternoon as he lay in the garden watching me weed, smiling in the shade what a great gift I was being given. We walked about the yards today, we talked and I sang to him. He went swimming when he shouldn't have. He loved to swim like no other lab, it was his last swim.
Hes gone now my beautiful yellow lab. My faithful companion has gone on ahead of me. Although my heart is broken and I cry rivers of tears, I know he is in a better place. Free from the pain that racked his body in old age. I lay with him tonight until 10 minutes before he passed. I fell asleep, and when I did, he went. I had laid on the floor next to him loving him and singing to him most the entire night.
When you get a dog like Rupert and give them a second chance, you know it is going to hurt because the time that God lends these great hearts and love to you is short, so you have to work harder to fit in all that missed love and fun. I know that Rupert knew how much I loved him, how much we all loved him.
Good night sweet boy, I will miss you. You are not gone but gone on ahead. I will see you again at rainbow bridge.
