it broke my heart to give you away
after years you found your way back
you had walked for miles to find us
unimaginable grief and sorrow followed
which has never left me
i had to send you back again
imaginary garden with read toads

I felt your pain in your cherita for Toby.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is painful. That is how it is sometimes — I can understand the grief. Hope his new human companions have been wonderful to him as well.
ReplyDeleteouch! that's a painful story - and in some ways, it defies logic - what loyalty will mean to a companion animal ....
ReplyDeleteOh, this makes me cry.
ReplyDeleteAww, this is so sad. I'm sorry for you and your dog.
ReplyDelete~~ oh, this is heartbreaking ....
ReplyDeleteThe Incredible Journey is a book about animals finding their way home... kind of reminds me of this - but a different ending. He was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a heartbreaking tale. You probably still think of the love and the hurt he felt.
ReplyDeleteThis is a heartbreaking story, Rall.
ReplyDeleteThis happened a long time ago.I went to live overseas for a few years. I think he probably wanted to say goodbye because he died shortly afterwards. I could never bring myself to own another dog after that.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord, no!
