Goodbye Dallas

I’m angry

Why did he have to get sick?

Why can't animals live as long as us?

Why couldn't I save him?


I feel guilty 

Did I give him enough treats?

Did he like the belly rubs?

Did I make him happy?

Did I do the right thing?

I’m depressed

There's a hole in my life where he was

I’ll never get to cuddle with him again

I'll never hear his little snores


I’m in denial

He can't be gone

He was healthy 

He was happy

He deserved more than 7 years with me


I accept the loss
