I got this from our Vet when I had to put down our Lab last Summer
IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle can't be won
You will be sad- I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand
For this day, more than all the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see
I know in time you too will see
It is kindness you do for me.
Although my tail- it's last has waved.
from pain and sufferring I've been saved.
Don't grieve that it should be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close- through all these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
