Yesterday I lost my best friend. Lost is a silly word because I know where he is, mum has told me, and I know hes not coming back.
So I raise a hoof and a glass to you Bertie, Ill miss you.
Ill miss you;
Because you were always grumpy in the morning and made me laugh biting people when they werent looking
Because you had the biggest yawn in the world.
Because you helped me pull our rugs down to make our mums mad.
Because you shared your hay and stole mine.
Because you always wanted to beat me to the field but called to me as I walked down the lane.
Because no matter how long after you I got there, you always waited for me by the gate.
Because wed stand together at the drinking trough, shoulder to shoulder and dribble water down our chins.
Because youd run with me to the gate when my mum came to fetch me
Because if she wasnt bringing you in as well, youd hang on to my tail and not let go.
Because even when you were in pain youd play with me for hours.
Because you were calmer if I stood with you when you were down in the field and couldnt get up.
But most of all Ill miss you because you were my best friend and the field is empty without you.
RIP big grey man.
When my time one day comes, wait for me at the gate.
