Daisy Belle (to her memory)

there is always a great sadness that comes with the death of a pet
our dear friend Daisy died today
we are never prepared for our silent friends to become a memory
our old  basset hound was truly one of the family in our journey
over the past 5 days she began to wither away
sever pneumonia in her right lung
something wrong with her digestive track
most probably a tumor
medicine didn't help
the vet called and we went to the clinic to be by her side
to pet her on the head and massage her neck
Renee', Wes, and I were with her when she passed
there was no pain
but dang if i couldn't feel it when her spirit left her body
i hope our prayers give her a peaceful journey till we see her again
Augustine says we will
 i believe him
she had been with us for 12 years
we buried her close to the house
the house that already feels different with her absence
i hope she knows somehow
how much we loved having her with us
she was a great friend and companion through many days
