"HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR"

My best friend closed her eyes last night,
As her head was in my hand.
The doctor said she was in pain,
And it was hard for her to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled her in my arms.
Were of her younger, puppy years,
And oh.. her many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you" gaze,
Only a heart that's filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, " You should cry no more,
God also loves our Briards,
He's installed a doggy-door"!

Stacey, you were always the low dog in the pack,
as you had to put up with three bossy Briards,
as well as a bossy Poodle and Miniature Schnauzer male.
Two of the Briards came into your life as puppies and bullied you around.
Aah! but you were the watchdog of the house
always alerting the Briards to anyone who ventured our way.
You were smart enough to expect them to protect us which they so graciously did.

TO ALL DEPARTED FRIENDS

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew....in the
stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over....I smile and watch you yawning
and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out....then come home to be with me.

MISHANA of the GLOAMING "MISHA" BORN: May 3, 1988 DIED: August 7, l999

Misha, you were the first briard who came into our lives.
Although you didn't spend your whole lifetime with us,
just the last 5 years,
we loved and still love you very much.
In the time you were with us, we had a wonderful time together.
We hope we will see you one day.
Take care up there on the Rainbow Bridge dear friend.
You are very much missed by

..............Tina Vermeiren and Wim Vanwijnsberghe
