"When a
Dog Dies"
When a
dog dies, a cloud turns into an angel
and flies up to tell God to put another
flower on a pillow.
A Bird gives the message back to the world,
and sings
a silent prayer that makes the rain cry.
Dogs disappear, but they never
really go away.
They are spirits up there that put the sun to bed,
wake up
grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles.
sometimes you can see them
dancing in a cloud during the daytime,
when they're supposed to be
sleeping.
They paint the rainbows and the sunsets
and make waves splash
and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.
And
when they sing windsongs,
they whisper to us,
don't miss me too
much.
The view is nice and
I'm doing just fine.

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

....too
often we measure life in a "time-sense";
rather than the impact of the life
lived.
Grant
was, without doubt
the happiest and most exuberantly joyful dog I have ever
known.
He found delight in each and all!!!
To those who knew him, his sense of
humor was infectious!!!!
He could cajole even the most somber into gleeful
antics.
He was adored by so many.
Grant's
life was eons too short...
but, thankfully, it was a life lived to the fullest.
May we all be so fortunate.
He will
be as well missed as he is well loved.
Sleep
well, dog boy.
I love you.
Sadly he
will be missed by Elaine Robinson and Sophie(the apartment sized
Newfoundland),

"God's Garden"
God looked around His garden and found an empty place
He then looked
down upon the earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you, and
lifted you to rest
God's Garden must be beautiful, He always takes the
best
He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain
He knew that you
would never get well on earth again
He saw the road was getting rough,
And
the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered
"Peace be thine"
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go
alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you
Home.

Ruger, you were not just a dog, you were my best
friend.
You enriched my life in so many ways.
I am a pretty shy person, and you
helped me be more sociable with people.
You were such a great conversation
starter,
seems like I could talk for hours about you and never tire of it.
Your
presence with me was noticed by many.
It was kind of hard to miss the two of us.
You loved to be held and people loved to see you in my arms.
You brought a smile
to many people's faces.
There are many people throughout the Northwest who knew
you and will miss you.
You brought joy and love to so many people.
I miss you
more than I can express.
You will be remembered by many as a very special dog
who loved me as much as I loved you.
We had a special bond, you and I.
I hope
you will be happy until I can come to join you at the "Rainbow Bridge".
With all of my heart I will remember you.
