How do you say goodbye to your best friend? I normally don't try to post out my life but I cant hold this in. Today I had to put down my dog tyko, my constant companion and comfort. Today Tyko suddenly and unexpectedly developed hip displaysia that compleatly crippled her, there was nothing the vet could do. After ten years of selfless devotion and perfect love no matter where I was or what I did, all I could do was hold her as she cried out in pain. Even when she was in such pain, my good little dog silmply lay in my arms as I carried her up our mountain. I felt so helpless, there was nothing I could do but hold her as we waited for Dr. Kelsey to end her misery, and cry as she slipped away. Even after I had laid her to rest, I couldn't leave till it was too dark to stay. How could I abondon the one person who had always devoted herself to me, what had I done to derserve such love? To other people, I may seem lonely and friendless, to cry and mourn an animal, something they consider fun but not worthy of the pain I'm in. To them I say, you have never known perfect love, nor witnessed anything quite so innocent and pure till you have known the love of a dog. So here's a tribute, not only to Tyko, but every other dog who has ever shown a person what love really is.
