Sleep my old man
You were my Raider, my best friend, my listener, the one who stood by me no matter what. You defended me against other dogs. You might have been blind but I loved you unconditionally. You were mine, I was yours. I hope you know how much you were loved. And how much I miss you. I wish we had more time together, I met you when you where 4 weeks old. And I was there for your departure. It was so hard saying goodbye to my boy. I can’t ever replace you and I won’t even try to. I miss you so much. I’m so happy that you were my best friend for those 12 years. I wish I would have been a better friend. I love you Raider. No more seizures baby, no more.
