Murphy
Murphy had been through it all the past few weeks. He'd had blood taken countless times, CT scans, an endoscopy, x-rays and abdominal scans. He had a biopsy taken and it came back positive for cancer.
I didn't really know how to react to this at first and I just went numb. He was put to rest today and now I can't stop crying. He went through a lot in his last weeks and kept his same silly, Labrador ways all the way through.
Oh Murphy. I miss you. You were a clumsy, stupid, greedy and beautiful soul. A typical Labrador. You were so smart and silly. We all miss you. I wish I could have had just one more day but it was just your time. I know I will stop crying soon and remember the good times fondly, but for now I need to grieve. I love you.
