Lost my dog today

[Wolfpacker]

I'm glad to see this post back up on top. I had this on my computer at work and forgot to post it.

For all of us who have lost our dogs and other pets, and especially for Rooster Red.

May I Go?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and living light.
I want to go
I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears
I'll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go

Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today

Oh, rooster-red , I'm so sorry to read of your loss.

Spaz sounds like he was a wonderful companion and what a lovely picture of him with you cat.
As I read your comments my eyes teared up.
Those pawprints they leave on our hearts will never fade.

Remember always this:
"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies."

Wolfpacker, you made me cry! We had to put our Ridgeback, Taz, to sleep last year, and I tear up as I think about her.

Wolkpacker,
I read the first 3 lines and once again....I'm crying. I couldn't read the rest. I sucks being a girl, I can't deal with sad things about animals.

 

[Chickending]

Me too. I read that and was crying like a baby at work.

I am so sorry for your loss of Spaz. What a great dog. I also was the owner of a hybrid/huskie mix. He was almost pure white. They are great dogs. Mine had a thing for reeces peanut butter cups. He stole a whole bag once and then ate two or three and then hid the bag under the sofa. We wouldn't have known if we didnt find the wrappers.
I had mine for 15 years. His name was Duke. I miss him so much. I miss the howling the most and his sneaky wolf habits.

Made me cry too.

I lost my Lucky Boy in October last year. But I found a little abandoned kitten that is JUST like him.

God has sent me Lucky Jr. Maybe he'll send you a Jr., too.

Go to Google and search for "Rainbow Bridge." It might make you cry, but it'll make you feel better.

I'll be praying for your sadness to go away. :aww

OK, I got the Rainbow Bridge.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Here's a poem I wrote by myself:

One Last Day

Don't cry, don't cry
Oh please, don't cry
You'll be OK
I won't be far away
I know you think that I am going
But, just for you, I am showing
That I'll live, just for one more day
To comfort you in any way

I'm a little scared
I admit
I'm a little shy
I'm not to sure I want to die
So at least I will try
To stay alive one last time
Though my spirit longs to be free
I'll give one last plea
To stay alive one last day

I'm in a lot of pain
I know you can tell
I know you wish for me to be well
But I don't want you to be sad
I'll try to look my best
So you can rest
Knowing that
I'll try one last time
To stay alive one last day

It's almost time for me to go
But oh,
How I wish I could tell you
That I'll be OK
And I want to tell you
That you will too
I can't stay
This is the last day
But here's the last thing I will say,

I love you, my owner
And my best friend
And I will be with you
Till the end

God bless you all

Sorry about the loss of your family, surfing the web one day not to long after we lost one of of our Yorkie's and found the web site, pet loss.com. IT WAS GREAT, if you have time give it a look-see. I thought it was great, And yes, a dog is part of the family. :|

Yes, the PetLoss site really is a great place! I go there a lot, even thought it's been almost a year since I lost Lucky. Of course, now I've got my hands full with Raiden, a little black and white kitten (BIG kitten now!) we found in the woods. And I swear, he's just like Lucky!
I don't think I'll ever find another cat like him, but Raiden's comin' close!!!

Sorry about your Yorkie loss.
