THE DOGS WHO HAVE SHARED OUR LIVES
The dogs who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a barking at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometime, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them...
and always will.
---Linda Barnes
I Thought of You Today
I woke early this morning, lifted the shade
to a sky overcast and gray.
No ray of sun to brighten my heart,
and I thought of you today.
The breezes of summer are no more
and have moved along on their way.
The crisp air of autumn has settled in,
and I thought of you today.
The crunch of the leaves under my feet,
I remembered how you loved to play,
chasing the leaves across the yard,
and I thought of you today.
As the daylight faded into dusk
and the shadows came to play,
I lit a candle and watched the flame dance,
and I thought of you today.
I crawled into bed, turned out the lamp
and glanced where you used to lay.
The tears came again, as they always do,
as I thought of you today.

RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM Author unknown
Just this side of Heaven, before the Pearly Gates Is a sunny meadow where your pets can rest and wait. It's where the slanting sunshine meets the highest clouds, A floating bridge of rainbows, so far above the ground.
This is where we wait for you, if we have gone before, Just out of sight of mortals, just outside heaven's door; Here we play in sunshine, frolic free from age or pain, And anticipate the joyful time when we will meet again.
Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time, can wait, For that special person to come walking to the Rainbow Gates, And everyone who's loved a pet will find them safely here, Frolicking on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.
One day there comes a feeling, a trembling in the air, And then we know it's time to run and come to meet you there, Faster and faster on that day, across Rainbow Bridge we'll run, To meet the humans we love best, come walking in the sun.
Alas my friend you cannot pass across Rainbow Bridge with me, But when your time for glory comes, waiting for you I'll be - Then together we will walk upon a path of glittering light, No more to suffer, nor to part, but to live forever side by side.
Every pet that's lived on Earth can bide his time and wait Until together with his person he goes through those Pearly Gates, And everyone who's loved a pet, you'll find them waiting here, Safe and sound on Rainbow Bridge till your own time draws near.
My Most Precious Angel
Picking up the pieces of my broken heart.....
The task is rather daunting, I don't know where to start.....
I hold onto the memories and handle them with care.....
The emptiness and anguish is just too much to bare.....
There is nothing left inside of me except the tears I cry.....
'They' say it will get 'easier' as time passes by.....
The time we spent together, I will always hold so dear.....
You were taken from me much too soon,
we had still so much to share.....
Each day is full of sadness, bitterness and grief.....
I'm trying hard to 'let you go' but I am still in disbelief.....
You told me to find happiness and peace when you are gone.....
It's your presence and your strength I need, if I must carry on.....
Comfort only you can give me, may help the pain depart.....
Your loving me 'eternally', can mend my broken heart.....
Someday we'll be together to see that setting sun.....
Until then, you're my Angel.....
The Most Precious One!

JENA and BENJI XXXXX
God Summoned A Beast (A Fable)
Author unknown
God summoned the beast from the field and He said
"Behold, man is created in my image. Therefore adore him.
You shall protect him in the wilderness,
shepherd his flocks, watch over his children,
accompany him wherever he may go...
even into civilization.
You shall be his companion, his ally, his slave."
"To do these things," God said, "I endow you with the
instincts uncommon to other beasts:
Faithfulness, Devotion and Understanding
surpassing those of man himself.
Lest it impair your courage,
you shall never foresee your death.
Lest it impair your loyalty,
you shall be blind to the faults of man.
Lest it impair your understanding,
you are denied the power of words.
Speak to your master only with your mind
and through your honest eyes."
"Walk by his side; sleep in his doorway;
ward off his enemies; carry his burden;
share his afflictions; love and comfort him.
And in return for this,
Man will fulfill your needs and wants...
which shall be only food, shelter and affection."
"So be silent and be a friend to man.
Guide him through the perils along the way
to this land I have promised him.
This shall be your destiny and your immortality."
So spoke the Lord.
And the dog heard, and was content.
♥♥♥ 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....
