My sweet Sebastian got "Bloat" on June 3rd 2012 and within an hour of diagnosis he had to be put down. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

GOODBYE
My
Sweet
Sebastian
-------
With heavy hearts and a tear in our eyes
after all these years, we must say goodbye.
Please understand, we've done all we could.
If there was anything we could do, you know we would.

I'm sitting right here, gently rubbing your ears
while I talk to you softly, trying to hold back the tears.
The memories you gave us, we'll never forget
especially the ones of the day we all met.

One last hug and one last kiss
you have no idea how much you'll be missed.
To look into your eyes this one last time
you tell me it's ok, you know it's your time.

Close your eyes now and go to sleep.
We'll pray to the Lord your soul he'll keep.
Go in peace now, our good friend,
we'll stay right here with you, until the end

Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge, and all will be fine.
We'll run and play, side by side
with a soft warm feeling deep down inside

Your memory will live on in each one of us.
You'll always be number 1 to all of us.
Have a safe journey through the night.
I promise when you awake, you'll be in God's light.

So with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes,
just for now my friend, we say goodbye.

We love and miss you, Sweet Sebastian
