Barret's Story

I have no words to describe the pain I feel knowing that you’re gone–that I’ll never feel your nudge to be let under the covers in the middle of the night, and that no one will be waiting for me to get out of the shower to scruff on my dirty towel.

Last night I thought I heard you jump off the bed at the sound of a wrapper. No words can describe the pain I felt as I fell to the floor and completely lost myself in the darkness of grief. How I longed for you to hop over and lick away my tears like you have so many times before.

So many little things I’ll miss. Too many to name. All I have are the memories, both happy and sad, and soon you’ll be coming home in a little tin to sit next to your brothers and sister with your little paw prints set in clay.

Barret, my little buddy, I miss you more than I thought was possible.

P.S. I put a short tribute video on Facebook – it’s available to the public so you should be able to watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/1083592300/videos/10221495381108939/
