One final Goodbye

A little explanation first for those who don't know about 8 years ago my brothers my mum and I adopted a lovely labrodor x From rspca in brighton, This animal was the most stubborn and spoilt in the dog kingdom but he wasn't just a dog he was half human he had ways of communicating himself, you could give him a bowl of water but he'd drink from my mums kitchen tap (it was seperate from the others that were normally used).

This was the very last time we saw him and it is how we wish to remember him. A lovely dog full of life love and joy, He did not need to know when you were going to be back just that you were going to love him when you were.

He was not well and had issues with his bowels and colitis. The problems were so bad he had to be put to sleep and went to a meadow of stars in the sky.

When we got him I was about 14 and a teenage tear away I always used to think as walking him a chore, I loved to play with him indoors but as a teen that's as far as it went. I have many many fond memories But those most treasured are the silliest of the lot. For example I would knock on my mother's door when visiting with our littlen and he had an almighty bark, before we entered we always used to have to take a deep breath and brace ourselves for utter chaos because that is what he was. a Pain... But he was our pain.


When he was just a pup he knew when I needed to be up for school.. and when he wanted a walk he used to jump on my bed and chase his tail til I got up to let him out.

The saddest thing for me is the fact that my child was always scared of him after he tried to lick him but went for a nip. That day was a huge argument after someone that had no right slapped him on the nose but more then a slap I am just being polite.

That day. Yesterday. For the first and last ever time My little one said hello and goodnight mason was not jumping at him and our little one went and stroked him. and stroked him to sleep.

So before I well up I am going to put the short poem that I posted on my facebook page

I love you mason.

I shall always remember you for the amazing pain in the ass you were, you were the loveable rogue and never forgotten Although I wasn't there very often not a day goes by when I don't think about the times we played together, you used to disobey my calls and ignore me when told to sit, but that's just who you were an amazing pet, you were independant you had such character now they've laid a meadow of stars for you to be free as your spirit was in life Love you mason R.I.P 


So for one final time Goodbye matey, going to miss your fur all over me when I visit... R.I.P
