Puppy - Part 3

Two years ago, I went into debt to try to save you.

But you passed away anyway, it's sad and it's true.

I paid thirteen hundred dollars with my credit card.

When it came to facing your death, it sure was hard.

When it came to saving your life, I certainly tried.

But sadly, on the seventeenth of August, you died.

It doesn't bother me because I went into debt.

What does bother me is that I lost a great pet.

You were only six years old and you had no future ahead.

I said goodbye two years ago today when I found you dead.
