Premium MemberGoodbye Brutis



    My friend had to put his dog to sleep today,
        he was a Dachshund only five years old;
                   loyal, brave, clever, pretty eyes,
                   feisty, beloved, with floppy ears.
    Brutis had a "big" dog personality all the time,
        loved most people, children, and other dogs;
    Oh, Brutis had so much charisma, so much charm,
        I can see him walking with that wee hop in his step.
               But, Dachshunds have delicate backs,
         and Brutis suddenly became paralyzed.
                    No surgery possible,
                    no other option ~
    So, he said goodbye and I love you Brutis today,
         you were a little warrior-  now, go get your wings !


Premium MemberGood Boy

man's trust in his dog runs deep
I rest easy in your keep
my good boy, you've kept me safe
now it's time for you to sleep

Premium MemberSandy

Well, here we are,
dear canine friend.

The Reaper is racing
towards us,
but I won't say Goodbye.
I'll say Thank You.

Thank you, Sandy,
for being the best friend
that I’ll ever know.

Thank you, Sandy,
for trotting
towards me
during my
loneliest hours.

You were
my confidante,
my guardian,
and my playmate.

Please know that
as I turn away
for the final time,
I’m not turning away
from you.

Our time together
is finished.
There is no sense
in sobbing
over the inevitable.

Then why do I
tremble
as I lumber away?
Why is my soul
coated
with sorrow?

I hear the Reaper
coming, dear girl.
He’ll take my heart
with you.

Premium Memberdeath of a good boy

tears fall like blue rain
chin down brown frown paints pale face
pet dog died today

Premium MemberA Difficult Decision


dog stricken
with cancer;
euthanized.

out of her
 m i s e r y;
dog owner

hollowed out
by deep grief;
best friend, gone!


Premium MemberLost

I lost my beautiful dog today 
I lost my dearest friend 
She took with her 
a piece of my heart 
I’ll never feel again 

I know you’ll say 
there will come a day 
when your heart is filled with another
but you didn’t know 
my Chuli girl
A dog unlike any other 

I’ve never cried 
or felt inside
the way I felt with her
saying goodbye 
as I watched her die
and nuzzled my face in her fur

Now I’m back home
I feel so alone 
The silence is filled with tears
I miss her so
You’ll never know 
She was part of my very best years

Premium MemberOn walks, my dog loves to sniff death and decay

On walks, my dog loves to sniff death and decay,
and never seems to ponder ~
how things got to be this way.

Premium Memberdeath has separated no one

Our cocker spaniel Sophie had a stroke
She could not lift her head or drink water
Even after we poured some out onto the floor

We had no choice but to take her to a vet
And have her put out of her misery
Our other dog Buddy looked for her for awhile

Buddy now sleeps where Sophie used to sleep on the floor
When I am in my bed, I often feel an animal curl into the small of my back
I reach around to give a pet, but this is an angel dog
This is where Sophie always used to sleep when she got up on this bed

So even though she is supposedly gone
She is still here; I have the feel of her as proof
It gives me comfort as I feel her push into the small of my back
Death has separated no one

Premium MemberI still see

*I still deal with my loving dog's death.


I still see her next to me
I still cannot kook at her photo
Deliberately burned toxins, killed her
My life has moved on without her
It doesn't feel the same at all
I miss our walks and her happiness
I am haunted by her cough and suffering
How anyone can spread deadly toxins,
that kill pets and people makes no sense
Such lack of conscience these people have!
She was an innocent, loving, special dog
An unbearable loss, always in my heart
They never met her, they didn't know her
Bella pranced like every day is special
They just took chemicals and burned them
Now, lives are changed, lives are gone
My Bella would tell you,  forever smart and vocal!

Premium MemberPolice And An Amazing Pet Rescue




               Police and an Amazing Pet Rescue



    Indiana Police received an Emergency Call, 
    Of animal abandondonment in a terribly hot car.
    This is a great reminder for caring, pet owners all!
    To not leave pets inside cars, that are hot as bubbling-tar. 

     Inside, the keys, still were in the red,hot ignition.
     Found inside~ a deceased pet bull, found dead!
     And a fluffy cat, near death in very critical condition
     So pet owners, in summer, please you your head!

     There was also a German Shepherd in that ‘car- toaster.’
     He survived best, not wanting to die, to be flat as a coaster!

Premium MemberDoggy Breath

No harbinger of tact was he

And as a matter of fact you'll see

One spewing forth only filth and bile

A mongrel dog with a crooked smile

Nor lover of man or saintly ways

A cur so foul for all of his days

But in the end life doth defeat

Soon the harbinger of death he'll meet

Premium MemberI Am Bleu

When it’s quiet my heart aches for Bleu

My husky companion so fluffy and true

His absence has taken a grievous toll

His spirit left a pawprint on my soul

Each time the wind howls I miss him anew

Premium MemberAs the Day Grows Late

---------------------

Eyes closing as the day grows late,
you've waged your war on sleep and lost
And in my arms, your puppy weight
secures my love at any cost

Full grown, you commandeer my bed, 
eyes closing as the day grows late
and pinned beneath your golden head, 
I'm helpless to negotiate

When years and aging joints mandate
you climb into my bed no more, 
eyes closing as the day grows late,
I feel for you down on the floor

The best Friend I will ever meet
No Boy so good has lived, to date
I tell you so and watch your sweet
eyes closing as the day grows late

Premium MemberLanguish

in a dungeon of grief she used to languish.
her much beloved dog succumbed to cancer;
she got another sooner than expected -

                                                          gifted a puppy.

there's more to this birthday gift than meets the eye;
a more important gift, a key to freedom
as she's no longer confined to grief's prison. -

                                                          her spirits in flight

Premium MemberTHE ANGEL THAT LIES AT MY FEET

Love given,
eventually brings sorrow, 
to the giver,
I miss you whilst I'm living.

Little paws,
eyes that beg,
warm kisses,
not just a dog.

Moments held,
in my hand,
soft fur,
wet nose I felt.

Running free,
tongue hanging,
panting with joy,
running with me.

Playing ball,
leaves crunching,
pumpkins growing,
it's fall.

Winter looms, 
warmed by the fire,
the first snowfall,
you'll go home soon.

My heart no longer beats,
tears from my pain,
stings my face,
heavens laying at my feet.
