My heart goes out to you at this sad time,i know how you are feeling as i went through it when i lost my beloved lurcher Oz 5 months ago,i didn't think it was possible to feel so much pain,for some reason these beautiful words helped me through,my thoughts are with you:-
"The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy.His son and daughter that he has reared with loving care may become ungrateful.Those who are nearest and dearest to us ,those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.The money that a man has,he may lose.It flies away from him when he may need it most.Man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action.The people that are prone to fall upon their knees and do us honour when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles it's cloud upon our head.The only absolutely unselfish friend a man may have in this selfish world ,the one that never deserts him,the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.
A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty,in health and sickness.He will sleep on the cold ground,when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely,if only he can be near his master's side.He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer,he will lick the wounds and sores that come into encounter with the roughness of the world.He guards the sleep of a pauper as if he were a Prince.When all other friends desert...............he remains.
When riches take wings and reputations fall to pieces,he is as constant in his love as the sun in it's journey through the heavens.If fortune drives his master forth an outcast into the world,friendless and homeless,the faithfull dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger,to fight his enemies,and when the last scene of all comes,and death takes his master in it's embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground,no matter if all other friends pursue their way,there by his grave side will the noble dog be found,his head between his paws and his eyes sad,but open in alert watchfulness,faithful and true even to death"
