Rex's Story
Rex, the sweet Shih Tzu, was a constant source of joy, hopping like a bunny through the green grass and always close by, marked by the gentle click of his nails following everywhere. He loved being a cherished companion, always on a lap, nestled beside you, or curled up tight in your arms for an afternoon cuddle nap. Now, he is envisioned bouncing freely through sunlit fields, people-watching, and making new bunny friends with his brothers.

Lyrics
Intro - soft piano, acoustic guitar
Verse 1
A tiny paw, a playful start, a special friend right from the heart.
Through emerald fields, a joyful sight, you hopped like a bunny, pure delight.
The gentle click of nails so small, as you would follow down the hall.
My sweet Shih Tzu, always near, banishing every single fear.
Chorus
Oh, Rex, my darling, sixteen years, you wiped away so many tears.
A love so pure, a bond so true, my world was brighter thanks to you.
You rest now peacefully and free, a precious gift you were to me.
Verse 2
On my lap, or by my side, with nowhere left for you to hide.
In my arms, a safe embrace, you loved to snuggle in this place.
Those afternoon naps, soft and deep, sweet secrets that our hearts would keep.
Curled up so tight against my chest, putting my anxious mind at rest.
Chorus
Oh, Rex, my darling, sixteen years, you wiped away so many tears.
A love so pure, a bond so true, my world was brighter thanks to you.
You rest now peacefully and free, a precious gift you were to me.
Bridge
The love I felt when you looked at me, will stay inside for all to see.
My baby boy, my sweet best friend, my love for you will never end.
Run free with brothers, make new friends, where happy journey never ends.
Be free and happy, brave and true, my sweet boy, I’ll always love you.
Instrumental - light strings, synth pad
Final Chorus
Oh, Rex, my darling, sixteen years, you wiped away so many tears.
A love so pure, a bond so true, my world was brighter thanks to you.
You rest now peacefully and free, a precious gift you were to me.
Outro - soft piano fade
I see you bouncing through the green, the happiest sight I’ve ever seen.
Basking in sun, with watchful eyes, beneath the endless, loving skies.
Now curled in peace, a sweet repose, where endless love forever grows.
