I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to re-assure you, that I’m not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said ” it’s me.”

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It’s possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew…

In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning

and say “Good-night, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

~Author Unknown

I am so sorry that you had to say good bye. It is one of the hardest things to do. I am glad your kids were with you and that your son could be there. Many hugs to you gonna, (((()))

You gave your furkid a huge gift, you allowed him to leave this life not in pain and surrounded by love. What a great gift to teach your kids.

More hugs,

I'm so sorry.... I lost my beloved cat to cancer just a couple of weeks ago. It was awful.

Sending many hugs to you and your family. Losing a pet leaves such a hole in the heart.

unconditional love

.....and loyalty. Whether you're gone for 10 minutes or 10 hours, there's your pet greeting you at the door with a look that says "Hey! It's you! What's up? Wanna hang out?" No accusations or recriminations.....just happy to see you, period.

So tonight is my first night *alone.* I had the kids and other dog all weekend, but now they are all with stbx. (don't ask me why our one dog was 'left behind' while the other one transferred because I have no idea -- stbx has lived across the street, within 45 second walking distance for over a year now -- and I always felt really bad for him about it).

AND there have been thunderstorms, off and on, all day. I, personally, love T-storms, but 'dog who is gone' hated them. His panting during storms was so loud that it would drown out the thunder. If he even heard any sound that resembled thunder, he would start panting and pacing.

It's awfully quiet around here today.....

In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.

Gonna & Boys, just wanted to send my heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your furbaby.

I lost a golden two years ago come September to cancer. I nursed her for the last six months of her life whilst she underwent chemo and several operations. She had it in her bladder so had to have a tube fitted so I could empty her through out the day and night. She grew up with my children and it was heartbreaking the day I had to make that decision to call the vet in.

I will never forget the look on her face that morning. It was a kind of relief as if she was saying, at last, it's time for me to go.

I struggled for a long time as to whether I made the right decision and even after all this time, it still hurts so bad but I know it was the kindest thing.

She's buried in our garden and the kids have made a special grave for her and she has fresh flowers every couple of weeks and in the summer, hubby and I go and sit on her special bench that overlooks the grave and have a drink with her.

Sounds mad but they're our fur babies and they leave such big voids.

Cherish the memories as they will never fade and remember the love she gave and brought to you all.

Hugs to you all xx
