Good bye my friend

[shoreboy06]

Late last night my sister and brother in law had a huge decision to make one that anyone of us would have struggled with, do i do all i can do financially and physically to keep their best friend alive or let him go peacefully into a better place. Even though Chico wasn't a hunting dog he definetlely was a great friend riding in the dump truck every single day and snuggleing up with my sister when her husband was gone on long haul trips. Chico apparently had a stroke leaving him unable to stand or even recognize his "parents" when they got to him. The big man upstairs has a faithful dog to sit by him and make him laugh. As they walked out of the vet around 10 pm last night a shooting star flew across the clear winter sky, telling them that he was in a better place. Chico departed this earth leaving his own little family, Dixie, his girl of 4 years and Little D only 2 years old, like any time we loose a part of the family a griefing period is needed and i hope this rambleing that i have done allows me to do so in a public place with folks who feel the pain and understand what its like to loose a best friend.

Thanks man its tough to let em go, maybe thats why my pop has never had a dog, idk its like when you get attached that makes it hard, i know if my boy was gone idk what i would do, its like they become the reason to make yourself accountable to someone when your still single and stuff. I know it will get better for them, and they have plans on making a garden in memory of him, after all this snow is outta here anyway, its tough to not get a little teared up thinking about him, i mean they left him with me for a week and lord only knows how much he distroyed, a laptop tv and ps2 not to mention the seat in my truck, and i couldn't even be mad
