The labored breath clued me in,
It was time to say goodbye.
I took you to the vet that day,
They took some blood and ran some tests.

A couple days went by,
It just got worst,
But you waited until we were home.
You made it through the night that night snuggled in my arms.
The next day a call was made, they'd be there at 4.

The vet that came was nice enough but you didnt seem to care, your eyes were on me the whole time as she trimmed off some of your hair.
We put it in a vessel then laid you in my lap,
The needle didnt hurt much you didnt even flinch,
And moments later you were gone.
A spirit in the wind.

I've cried for days and weeks now, I still do every now and then.
My life just isn't quite the same with out you around.

I hope your happy out there, where ever you may be,
I hope you don't mind waiting there for me.
I'll see you soon my sammy bud,
My best friend, my life.
