Until We See Each Other Again - a Tribute To My Dog

I remember the first time I saw you You were a bundle of cuteness With your huge ears And unstoppable wagging tail My heart choose you at first sight You choose us too When you snuggled in my arms And gave a content sigh Placing your head on my shoulder You went to sleep in my arms Safe, loved and trusting You completed our lives You became family But time is merciless And the years started to weight on your shoulders You couldn't run so fast anymore Nor play with your favorite toys You didn't had the energy to dig up crabs on the beach Nor run chasing birds Until the day we noticed you couldn't jump on the sofa Until the day we noticed that you were tired Now we're left with the hardest decision To let you rest your tired little body To let you go to the Rainbow bridge... To say goodbye... We did our best for you You were loved for the whole time you stayed with us You had a happy, loved and long life. Now you can rest my love... We'll hold you until your last breath Our faces will be the last thing you'll see before you sleep for the last time. And when you wake up in the other side, You'll find yourself surrounded by angels Your body young and strong again Able to run, and jump and bark... So be patient love, and wait for us Wait with the angels We'll Keep you in our hearts Until the day that we can meet again I love you now, tomorrow and for eternity... In memory of my beloved XUXÚ 06/09/1999 - 19/11/2016

I had a little Jack Russel called "Scampdog" - He was nothing short of remarkable! He didn't particularly favour dogs but was far more happier around grown persons...Although he was a bit grumpy towards pestering little children :) Lol! Upon his death (he lived to be 16), as I supported him in my arms, I had a dreadful realization: All his life he had understood my every intention...And yet I only understood a portion of his. I bare that shame to this day. My best regards to you, Claudia. :)

Xuxú was a cocker spaniel and he lived until 17yrs. Grumpy was his middle name but always very loyal and intelligent... they change our lives and leave an emptiness when they go... hugs John :*

So very sad Claudia, this one touches my heart. I have lost so many pets over the years and each one is missed terribly.

Xuxú was the first dog really mine. He is the one with me on my profile picture. he was my shadow, used to sleep in the bedroom with us... So he's the first one I lost - and I miss him terribly. We do have another one, an 8 yrs old girl that is filling the void her brother left. Thanks Chris :*
