That is a beautiful tribute to your sweet pet, and to death. I, too, have seen dozens, probably hundreds, of people die in my 46 + years as a respiratory therapist. I have great respect for death as we were each born to die in this life, and while I do not want to leave my loved ones behind, I look forward to the day when the Reaper comes for me and I see my Savior!

From one who has bid farewell to four dogs thus far—beautiful. In announcing the death of King George VI, Churchill said, “During these last months the King walked with death as if death were a companion and acquaintance whom he recognised and did not fear. In the end, death came as a friend, and after a happy day of sunshine and sport, after a ‘goodnight’ to those who loved him best, he fell asleep as every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.”
