I borrowed this but it seemed appropriate.
~ TESTAMENT OF A DOG ~
My material possessions are few and I leave everything to you.
A collar chewed on one end, a messy puppy bed, and a water bowl with a broken rim...
I'll leave you half a rubber ball, a broken doll that you'll find under the chair, a pile of bones buried under the floor of my little house...
I leave you my little hair scattered all over the house….
In addition to that, I leave you my memories which are numerous...
I leave you the memory of two huge and affectionate little brown eyes, a wet muzzle, a wagging tail...
I left a stain on the carpet in the living room, next to the window, when on winter afternoons I appropriated this place...
I left your favorite chair destroyed, I chewed it up when I was a puppy, remember?
I leave just for you, the noise I made while running on the autumn leaves, when we shared walks.
I leave you as a legacy my devotion, my sympathy, my support when things were not going well, my barking when you stood up in an angry voice... And my frustration because you had been angry with me...
…And without even having spoken a word of all my life, I leave you my example of LOVE, PATIENCE and UNDERSTANDING.
Your life was happier… Because I was by your side. 💞
