Wow, I thought my tears were starting to dry after almost a week of mourning the loss of my big boy CHIEF but they are flowing freely again & I thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem.

My husband and I have made the tough decision to help our Rottie, Max, to the bridge this coming weekend. It's tearing my heart out, and I've been flip-flopping on whether I want to be in the room with him (actually more like whether I can take it

) and I kept remembering reading this poem and now that I've read it again, I know that I want to be right there, holding his head as he leaves me. I am dreading it, and crying so hard right now, I can barely see, but he'sthe best dog that ever lived and I don't want him to be alone. I've helped him through the past 11 1/2 years, I think I have to be there one more time for him. Thankfully, I'll have my Sammi to come home to, and she'll ease my heartbreak. I'm sure she'll miss him very much too.

Well, it's now been 3 days since my Max left us. I was there with him, which makes me feel a little better, but I think my heart is actually going to break. I miss him so much. I know we did the right thing, but when will the pain ease? I know it will eventually get easier but right now, a huge part of my life is gone.

I've done online memorials and tributes, which have helped somewhat, but I found a poem on our wonderful website entitled Now I Must Go, and it gives me much needed solace. Thank you to all the poets out there who contribute their work...it is truly appreciated.
