    Very sorry to hear your sad news Taxi :(

    Piggies are sending you extra special kisses
    :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:



    If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
    And pain should keep me from my sleep,
    Then will you do what must be done,
    For this, the last battle, can't be won.

    You will be sad I understand,

    But don't let grief then stay your hand,
    For on this day, more than the rest,
    Your love and friendship must stand the test.

    We have had so many happy years,

    You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
    When the time comes, please, let me go.

    Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

    Only, stay with me till the end

    And hold me firm and speak to me,

    Until my eyes no longer see.
    I know in time you will agree,
    It is a kindness you do to me.

    Although my tail its last has waved,

    From pain and suffering I have been saved.

    Don't grieve that it must be you,

    Who has to decide this thing to do;
    We've been so close,we two, these years,
    Don't let your heart hold any tears.

    Lots of hugs coming your way today

    :cry::cry::cry: Oh Wol. Oh Taxi.

    Thinking of both my cats, but especially my little black and white one, Jess, who I held eye contact with as she slipped away... when I pay attention to it, the grief is still there.

    Hugs Taxi - sorry to hear your news - we've only had the Furry Dragon 6 months and already I would be devastated if anything happened to him. You gave him a wonderful life though and that is a really nice thing to have done.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Thanks everyone.
    Wol..that is beautiful..thankyou. xx What a wonderful poem.

    I've paid the vets bill and he credited £38.99 for the tablets that I gave him back.
    It was definitely the right thing to do but am missing him.
