#though i love you is also common
IF I COULD SPEAK TO A DYING DOG I WOULD TELL THEM HEAVEN IS REAL. I WOULD HOLD THEIR LITTLE HEAD AND WHISPER THAT HEAVEN IS FULL OF RIB EYE STEAKS AND BUCKWHEAT FIELDS AND SO MANY RABBITS TO CHASE.
I WOULD TELL THEM IT WON’T HURT. I WOULD TELL THEM ITS LIKE FALLING ASLEEP. I WOULD WRAP THEIR BODY IN A WARM TOWEL AND SAY “GO ON AHEAD, I WILL MEET YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.”
You can talk to a dying dog. They may not understand your words but they understand your heart.
They hear that they have been a Good Dog and they know they are So Loved. They know that you are sad and do their best to comfort you because they do not understand why you are sad, they are right here.
They understand that there is food and people who love them.
They understand they have been promised rabbits to chase.
They know heaven is real. They have been living here. But now they have to sleep.
You can talk to a dying dog.
