Today I have to say good-bye to my best friend,
He won't understand why we're leaving him.
He isn't going to get why we couldn't keep him,
He bit my brothers friend last night.

I have to take him back to where we got him,
And hope I don't cry too much when we leave.
We've only had him two months,
And he's become my most beloved friend.

His eyes will search mine for any sign that we're kidding,
But he will find nothing but unshed tears.
I want to run away and take him with me,
But he can't, he has to go back.

I broke my promise that he would be here forever,
That nothing would hurt him when he's with us.
I do not my promises idly break,
And I would give anything to keep him with me.

Tonight I will sleep in my room alone,
My cuddle buddy, beloved friend, and protector will not be there.
Soon enough his picture will be on the internet,
For another family to find and take him home.

No one can love him as much as I do,
We were supposed to give him a forever home.
Look where we are now,
Breaking that one promise that was never meant to be broken.

It's tearing my heart to pieces,
I can't let him go, he means too much.
I don't want him to be part of another family,
He should stay a beloved part of ours.

He licks the tears from my cheeks,
I only cry harder and wish he didn't have to go.
I've never hurt so much as I do now,
Thinking of my life without him.

I wish that I could tell him how much I love him,
Make him understand that I don't want to let him go.
I hope that he doesn't cry when I walk away,
I know I won't be able to hide my tears,
I hope he can forgive me for saying good-bye.

I cannot change what is going to happen,
But I can hold his head in my lap and stroke his ears.
I can kiss his brown head and whisper to him,
All I can do is say good-bye and that I will always love him, even if he isn't my big baby anymore.
I love you Beau!

What made you change your mind about adopting him to another family? Arda said that she would find him a family with only female children and a adult male. It breaks my heart to know that he won't get another chance to be the wonderful dog he is. I wish someone could find the people who did this to him...A good dog was given to bad people. I know that I and the rest of my family miss him greatly and always will. I have several pics of him on my digital camera and a bunch on a regular camera so that I can put them in my scrap book when the time comes. I wish we could have kept him because in the 2 short months we had him he and I became the best of friends...I couldn't go anywhere in the house without him being right behind me to nudge my hand to be petted. Someday we will get another dog..My mom said we will...I just hope it doesn't turn out like this again. I know that my big baby will be watching over me and forever be my guardian..It just makes me sad that I can't kiss him on the head one last time and look into those big brown eyes and tell him that he's silly but I love him anyway. Please tell him that I love him and no matter what I will always remember my best friend.

If you would like I would be more than happy to create you a website for your pictures... to flash... so you can see him when ever you want

That would be amazing...Once i can get them downloaded to the computer I will be sure to let you know. My mom realized when we got home that she forgot to take his tag off of his collar. Is there any way that you could send the tag to us? We would really like to have it...As something besides a picture to remember him by.
