Please all Pray for Oesdog Murphy is dieing.

My heart goes out to you - it is so hard to loose a dog. Gotye wrote a beautiful song about it. Here's the link, but I will warn you that it makes me cry every time I watch it. It's sad but the sentiment, about how much they are part of us and what we are willing to do for them is beautiful.

So very sorry..... I hope God gives you the strength to get through this difficult time and ease your pain. If you have to make that call i hope Murphy finds your mum and stays with her until you all reunite.......

Thanks for all your messages and prayers.
Murphy passed away at around 1pm uk time today. The diagnosis was Tumor in the chest and severe internal bleed putting pressure on the heart. There was no question of what to do. He is at peace.

Oes.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me.......

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I’d lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many “sits” and “downs” to do
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
Remember how I’d nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
The ball that I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I’d “bark and hold”.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I’d wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven’s gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, “This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days’s the same day,
There’s no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn’t do.
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you’re free;
So won’t you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there, in your heart.

I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives. I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race;
For if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?

The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon. But, to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me?

Ode to the Murph

Dear friend
You will never more great me with a massive pink tongue dribbling goo, someone stole your tail so you never wagged it! Though we told you often we would get it cut off if you didn't behave - it was of course already gone. you won't try to find me through a fringe of impenetrable white fur: That daft curtain that covers your one brown eye with blue in it and the “evil” blue eye with brown in it. You wont be seeking out my hand with a huge wet nose to see if I have hidden treats. Neither will you be running like a mad tumbleweed down the beach towards an unsuspecting child, before I can get you to look up and before it’s too late to PUT THE BREAKS ON!!!!!! You won’t cower in a corner when the washing machine monster goes into spin mode, Hide when you see a brush or take off yelping when you hear the sound of a shower running! Remember when a neighbor helped to groom you and brought you back looking like a poodle. Daddy put a bow in your hair and called you fiffi. He wouldn’t walk you until it grow back!!!!! You didn’t go to that groomer again! You made us laugh because you were the biggest coward ever. You were so funny running about with your lynus flanky! And when it was time to put your lead on you got so excited you near wet yourself before you got to the door. Putting the lead on was like a game of "pin the tail on a very fast moving DONKEY"! You never let anyone else play ball with you as once you got it you would run away and hide it! When we didn;t want to play anymore you would stomp your foot and spit the toy out you had. Sometimes you would just go into a huff and sit with your back to us for ages! When Daddy and mummy let you into the “living room” you would snuggle up on the couch then decide to have a major flea flicking session! You would always manage to dig someone in the face with an elbow or the nails of a misplaced paw! Now you wont be growling at anyone for daring to “move” you from your favorite spot – directly in front of the fridge! Where of course you could steel cat food every time it was opened! Now finally Gizzy your little doggy friend will get treats without you bulldozing him halfway across the room and taking them all for yourself! Teddy the cat will no longer tease you from the other side of the baby gate put there more for your protection than his benefit. – Remember when he hung on your face and tried to pluck your eye out while you wildly bashed him off the fridge trying to detach him from your fur! The most important thing now is that Teddy will never again p.iss in your water bowl while your not looking!!!!!!! You were one in a million Murphy/ Murph the Smurf /or the Murphalator! You had many names. You were annoyingly lovable and now today the Rainbow Bridge has called you home and so there are tearful goodbye’s. For all of the reasons above and many, many more you will be forever in our thoughts and hearts. You made our home alive and gave us so much joy – God bless goodnight friend sleep well you are at rest.


Dh just got back from the cardiologist tonight. His heart is also failing and he will need another stent fitted ASAP. At least I can get treatment for DH.
