On this day,

I miss you!
I love you!
I remember you!
And I miss your waggy tail!

On this day,
I remember the first time I saw your sweet, sweet face.
Your cute under-bite.
Your fuzzy, fuzzy hair.
And I miss your waggy tail!

On this day ...
I cry fresh tears for you.
I remember giving you Cheeseburgers every April 5th and watch you leave nothing but the pickle.
Always the pickle!
And I miss you waggy tail!

On this day,
I remember your last breath.
Your very hard, last moments.
Your cries in pain.
And I miss your waggy tail!

On this day,
I just wish I could hold you one more time.
Touch you one more time.
Hear your bark one more time.
And see your waggy tail!

On this day,
And always on this day,
I will think of you.
I will cry for you.
I will wish you were here.
And I miss your waggy tail!

On this day,
I know that I truly and deeply loved you.
Like a human can love a best companion.
And I know that there will never be another you.
And I miss your waggy tail.

On this day,
Next year,
I will think of you.
And the year after.
And then all the other years after.
And I'll miss your waggy tail.

For you were my best friend and for you are my forever dog.
And I will always, always love you!
And dream of you!
And miss your waggy tail.

Happy Birthday my Forever Dog!

I'll always, always love you!
And some day I will see you again and it'll be heaven and my heart will have one scar less and I will have one reason less to cry about!

Happy Birthday my waggy tail!
