from your pack

presencia
Blaze you loved to run upstairs and hide in her room

Blaze when you only had little strength left that little dog would
come visit you
Blaze cuando tenias poca fuerza le permitistés aquel perrito que
te visitara
Blaze we had to let you go
Blaze tuvimos que dejarte
Blaze I have your ashes
Blaze tengo tus cenizas
Blaze we miss your beautiful blue eyes, your strength, your
protection, and your love
Blaze extrañamos tus preciosos ojos azules, tu poder, tu
protección, y tu cariño
'Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.'-Anatole France
