Ill try to pull myself together enough to to write this, knowing it will never be a suitable enough tribute however it is with the most sorrowfully painfully aching heart I sadly report the death of a very special and irreplaceable piece of the puzzle I call my life, our dog Trigger. At the moment we feel an unparalleled emptiness filled with dark agony that tears simply won't wash away. The joy this hairy four legged companion brought to every moment we spent together will provide a never-ending memory of mutual love and affection. He had a special personality and ability to share love that we felt so deeply and anyone who's life he touched. The perpetual look of delight when we came home, the need he had to snuggle close to us to be truly comfortable and that look of contentment when he locked eyes and smiled at us will be missed beyond what words could ever convey.
His final chapter was sudden and swift and he went to sleep for the final time in our arms as we whispered our goodbyes to him after the doctor sadly assured us there was no road back to the dog we knew and loved. His last day was in hindsight special as he had a last long walk in his favorite woods, ate his favorite meal and enjoyed his beloved chew for desert.
I must attempt to correct my current dread-filled emotions to be thankful and grateful for the years of happiness bestowed upon us and not the agony of his loss... but that is going to take awhile.
Farewell and eternal love to you my sweet baby boy Trigger... Trigger the Wonder Dog.
