Say It Plainly Challenge

You have been giving Comfort for 12 years now

You are the smartest pup I have ever had

You were our son's dog before he died

I know you are asking why

I Love You Comfort Puppy

You graciously gave Comfort when Rick died

And you needed comforting yourself

You are special in every way

They say you have cancer-you have a big lump on your lip

I have taken you to the vet several times

They say there is nothing they can do for you

The cancer has spread to your nose

They can't operate on you because you are in liver failure

You are only twelve years old

I am not ready to let you go

You are so special

I hate Cancer -

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US ALL ALONE!
