I Wanted To Go

Each time I left, you wanted to go,
I'd pick up my keys and you would know.
Your whole body shook, your eyes had that gleam,
"A ride in the truck, oh please take me!"

So many times that you couldn't go,
I'd try to explain, so you would know.
"Not today baby, you have to stay,
I'm going to work, there's no place to play."

"Another day baby, no dogs in the store",
All of those reasons and so many more.
And when I came home, there you'd be,
Waiting in the window, watching for me.

Today I told you, "Let's go for a ride",
As ever before, you came to my side.
We got in the truck, I buckled your belt,
No gleam in your eyes, you sensed what I felt.

We arrived at the office and went inside,
My mind was racing, "This was our last ride.
The Bridge is waiting, please find your way there,
The others will help you and treat you with care."

I held you close to calm your fears,
My whole body shook, my eyes filled with tears.
You took your last breath and I want you to know,
This time you left me.....and I wanted to go.

Ozzie was the love of my life
From the first day I had him in my life, I knew I couldn’t live without him.
As time went on he developed back injuries, which later led to diabetes.
I thought ,he'll be okay he always comes back. And the trooper that he was, he did, he played with me, tossed his ball to me, Tore up all of his toys till he found the squeaker in them to spit at me…

Then one day, he started to slow down, he slept in his bed more than he should have…..I knew then It was time to take him to Dr.Strong again for treatment. I never dreamed that was the last visit to the vet, but it was, she called me to ask how soon could I get there, as he was slipping away. I said 20 minutes, and As soon as the door opened and I walked in his head looked up at me, as he was blind, with his tail wagging a little Dr strong handed him to me, and I held him and told him do you know how much I love you? He kissed me, like he Always did, then I said you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but, its time Ozzie, to go bye byes for A long time….as I cried, a tear dropped from his eye, and with a quick turn of his head he was gone.
