So today was the day my wife and I have been dreading for some time now. We had to put our beloved dog, Cupid, to sleep. After 16 years of unconditional and unquestionable love and loyalty, she will be greatly missed. She was a great dog who gave us nothing but happiness and joy. From her welcome home tail wagging and kisses to her wild antics; playing fetch, chasing her tail, running after squirrels and birds and flying insects in the backyard, she was a trip. She loved to jump into the pool on a hot day and just lounge on a floating matt for hours on end. She was also a great companion, who knew when we were mad or upset, from the trials and tribulations of everyday life; she'd just come over and jump on the couch and just sit with you or lay her head on your leg and just keep you company. She made you feel good, just by being there. I cried like a baby when I had to take her into the vet's exam room to put her down. He said I could leave but I didn't want to do that to Cupid. I stayed with her until it was over and gave her a last kiss and rubbed her head like she had always enjoyed. My wife and I are both broken hearted. Worse yet is the pain I feel in being unable to console my wife. Seeing her cry and knowing that there's nothing I can do just tears me up. We both have a hole in our hearts which can never be filled. She was a great friend and member of the family who will be terribly missed by us all. Good bye my loyal and loving friend.
