For years, they provide comfort and joy
They are a routine part of our lives.
Our pets give us companionship and unconditional love.
Our lives evolve around their very comfort.
Then when the end comes,
It is the empty dish, the unused leash, the abandoned toy that leave an emptiness in the house.
We remember their personality, playfulness, even suppressing a laugh when we should be mad at their antics.
Let these times console you.
Sleep well my sweet pet,
You are in our memories forever.
It is in our dreams where we will see you again, forever running happy and free.

Author Notes
I have seen sorrow here where a writer is mourning the loss of a pet. It is real sorrow.
I have lost over the years, Toody and Muldoon, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Natasha. Each cat was precious to me.
There are two 20 year old cats in the house who I expect their days are numbered.
Whether a cat or dog, the loss of a pet is a wound to the heart. So this is for those who have lost their friend.
