Seems that this summer keeps getting better and better.... I just lost my beloved mutt, so I'll write what I couldn't tell him today, and as cheesy as it sounds, I really loved my dog, almost like a brother..
To my dear Samson, my faithful companion and my childhood friend.
You were the best mutt a girl like me could ever wish for, and I am saddened that illness had to pull you away from me, but at least I know you're in a better place now. I pray to the goddess for protection, now that I don't have you, and may she watch you frolic through the forests of heaven, where I can't be with you.
It seems that this summer wasn't meant to be full with hours of us lying on the grass outside, licking rays and eating ice cream. I will miss you, and you helped me through many dark hours and days, and I don't know what to do without you.

I had him since I was a little girl, we got him in December in '96, and after a long time with illnesses and bad legs, he finally gave in. My parents took him to the vet a couple of hours ago, the poor thing was in pain. I've cried a lot lately, for others as well as for myself, but this...this is the hardest I ever experienced. Sure, he was "just a dog", but I've shed many a tear into his fur, and he's been there for me when others haven't.
R.I.P Samson, the best damn mutt ever to have walked this earth.

Also, I don't want any condolences or anything, but if you truly feel the need to say "You are in my prayers" and all that, just PM them to me....

Both my cats I had since I was a wee tyke passed on during my first year of uni. They were good friends, but when it's time to go it's time to go. Samson was lucky enough to be in the presence of the mighty Deihjan and Deihjan was lucky enough to be in the presence of Samson. I salute you both.
That'll be a hard time when it happens.
But thanks.
I miss him terribly, and I've hardly been outside the house lately because I couldn't find a reason to leave my room. I can't imagine how I'd be like if I lost someone from my family.
But I know he's in a better place, definately, but I still have my selfish moments and wish him back...
