you crossed a rainbow bridge….other
animals guide you farewell sweet gus
dog stricken
with cancer;
euthanized.
out of her
m i s e r y;
dog owner
hollowed out
by deep grief;
best friend, gone!
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
*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!

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
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
Beagles’ breath I love now as I awake.
Your wet tongue keenly laps my chin and brow.
I know your love is true and full, not fake.
You impart your joy and love to me now.
The battles of the night have bled away.
And my eyes can blink back to life once more.
“Good girl!” in gravel tones aloud I say.
Then lean up fast to grasp your furry maw.
Best friend to me and I to you am proud.
Even our soaring love as such must fail.
As ruin will likely wrap you in a shroud.
In pain of grief sorrowfully I’ll wail!
Doing as I’ve done each time before death
Has brought me to the fatal edge of doom
I selfish, will seek to find one who’s breath
Will kiss me to raise my heart from the gloom!
Last night, Libby,
I dreamed you brought my little dog Okuni
to visit me for a little while.
Thank you. I'm hoping dreams are real.
I'm an old, old dog (I'm an old, old dog)
I'm an old, old dog (I'm an old, old dog)
How about you?
You an old dog too?
I won't be here long
I don't feel so strong
So come here and kiss me
You know you gonna miss me.
My silent tears
fell like a raging waterfall
You were my companion for many years
came to heal should I call
Old age approached; you became so weak and so frail
but it never stopped you wagging your bushy tail!
In time your heart began to fail
as you took your last breath, I stroked your floppy ears.

Why must she die?
How many times can you suffer from a broken heart?
I try to take control but I am slowly falling apart
It used to be a relationship turned sour that would make me cry
Now my pet of seven years has advanced cancer and will soon die
I've shed many tears since I received this awful news
I try to picture myself in her shoes
Poor baby I love her so much
How I'm going to miss her and her soft touch
I wake up every morning and keep her close to me
She is so faithful, as trusting as can be
This is a big blow and I need to muster all my courage to be with her to the end
I don't want to say goodbye to my very best friend.
I stand before you after all these years
Amid the ocean brine with misty tears
On these old banks above the Fundy Bay
With all those words I never got to say
Wild daisies spread themselves across your grave
Where lies the fallen marker that I made
When I was but a child and new to death
In grief so deep it nearly took my breath
That broken house still sits above the bay
Now weathered by those many stormy days
Those years we walked along that rocky shore
Those years you saw me safely to my door
And now that I am old I do believe
You were an angel sent by God to me
...
In Loving Memory
