Brutus

Baby Brutus
Date of Loss: July 18, 2002

Brutus was not my dog personally, but I got to know Brutus and would like to remember him in the best way that I can. When I first met him, I was scared because I saw this big, big dog coming down the stairs to greet me. I thought it was part horse. He was so friendly and he had the biggest head, but a skinny body. I think his head was bigger than mine. All he wanted was to be petted. So, he slumped his big head on my lap or under my arm and l knew I gained an instant friend. My heart aches to know that my friend is gone.

Oh How I Wish

Oh how I wish that I just had one more chance to look into those sad drooping eyes.
Oh how I wish that I would have to get a paper towel to control his slobber.
Oh how I wish that I could worry about him puncturing my leather seats in my car.
Oh how I wish that I could give him his favorite treat.
Oh how I wish I could hear his tail knocking against the wall.
Oh how I wish that I could hear his loud snoring one more time.
Oh how I wish that I could say, "Brutus!!!!!!" (He had a bit of a gas problem!!!)
Oh how I wish I could give him one last hug.

Brutus passed away in his sleep. I take comfort in knowing that god will take good care of him until I get up there and see him again.
