I cannot even express in words how bad I feel for you, Annette. I know how much you loved her and you gave her a wonderful life. I remember this is how we 'met' through Buster and Lacey for Valentine's day on here in 2005. She has touched my heart and Buster's heart in a big way. We love you Lacey and we love you, too Annette. Buster says even though she may be gone she is his Valentine sweetheart forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know I am here for you for anything you need. She was a lovely girl and lucky to have you. My favorite picture of her is with Mandy. (((hugs)))

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
