Goodbye Hightones Sweet Farah, I’ll miss you… 5/9/1999 - 7/30/2021. You were an amazing partner for over 20 years. 22 years old and the arthritis in your knees just got to be too much so I made the difficult decision that it was time… Friday morning I watched you go and said my final farewell.

If the day should come when i’m in pain
and you know i won’t be well again
promise me you’ll do what must be done
if this is the battle which can’t be won
it’ll break your heart, but please be kind
don’t let your grieving sway your mind
for this is when you’ll let me see
just how much you do love me
together we’ve had many happy years
the future now can hold no fears
please don’t let me suffer
and when that day comes, please let me go
for my usual vet please will you send?
but stay with me until the end
hold me steady, speak to me
til my once bright eyes no longer see
in time i hope you’ll come to see
it’s the last kindness you’ll do for me
one more time please stroke my mane
and know that i’ll have no more pain
and don’t be sad that it was you
who decided that this was what to do
we’ve been such buddies through the years
don’t let me be the cause of tears
you’ll always see me graze now
with the sun upon my back
painful limbs won’t tire me now
however long the hack
i live now in your heart and mind
a lovely place to stay
and what you have in memories
no one can take away
