Shep was a loving dog. He was so fluffly when he was a puppy. He was always friendly and a good
guard dog. Being a border collie, He loved to walk for miles and enjoyed his milky bar that he got
everyday. He will be sadly missed. Shep should be with his owner by now. He died 8 months after his
owner died. He must of missed him so much.

~ A Little Dog Angel~

High up in the courts of Heaven today
A little dog-angel waits,
With the other dogs he will not play,
But he sits alone at the Gates:
"For I know my master will come," says he
"And when he comes, he will call for me."

He sees the spirits that pass him by
As they hasten towards the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
As he sits at the gate alone;
"But I know if I just wait patiently
"That someday my Master will come," says he.

And his Master far down on the earth below,
As he sits in his easy chair,
Forgets sometimes, and he whistles low
For the dog that is not there;
And the little dog-angel cocks his ears
And dreams that his Master's call he hears.

And I know when at length his Master waits
Outside in the dark and cold
For the hand of Death to open the gates
That lead to the Courts of Gold,
The little dog-angel's eager bark
Will comfort his soul while he's still in the dark.
(Written by Norah M. Holland, c.1870)

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take too long.
Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and new
I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me.
Try to understand
God is taking care of me...I'm in the shelter of His hands.
Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing.
I really have to go for now... I've just got to try my wings.

They're Only Ours for a Little While

We humans are prone to chase rainbows,
always wanting that pot of gold.
But the wisest of us remember the joy,
of just a small creature to hold.
Allow yourself to accept their great gift,
and know what devotion is worth.
If you've been loved by a dog or cat,
you're the richest person on earth.
But their lives are lived in miniature-
bright sun to palest moon.
They bless our days with innocence,
and faithfulness that's stilled too soon.
These precious lives are fragile,
as fleeting as a baby's smile.
So give them all the love you have,
they're only ours for a little while.
And in the lonely moments,
when you pause to wonder why.
Hold close those brightest shooting stars,
that burn so briefly in our sky.
But then look deeper in your heart,
to know all love must intertwine.
And when the night sky seems the darkest,
you'll see their light forever shine.

Up in the sky our angels sleep
The beautiful angels
that we wanted to keep

As we sit here all alone
we think of only you
We think of how we love you
And how much we miss you too

We miss you like crazy
We sometimes think we are going mad
We simply can’t stop thinking
Of the beautiful angel we had

The minutes feel like hours
Hours feel like days
The clock is ticking so slowly
Since the day you went away

We know life goes on without you
We do try to get through
But life will never be as nice
As life was when we had you

For Shep......

Faithful Friend

Who is the one who loves me best
Who when I'm low wont let me rest
Who lays his paw upon my knee
And never fails to greet me

Who lets me hug him when I'm down
Yet never is the one to frown
Who brings to me his favourite toy
And fills my life with simple joy

Who is by my side on rainy days
And watches sky's with soulful gaze
Whose face does wear that silent plea
Oh please come out and play with me

Who understands that there are times
When I must say this minutes mine
Who knows I cant always be there
Yet makes me feel I'm being unfair

Who is this dog who loves me dearly
And yet with spirit knows so clearly
That by his side I will always be
Have I trained him?
......No, He's trained Me..Love Aunty Ann x

Love from Shep. xxx

~Your Pets In Heaven~

To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

SOLACE

(Written by Lisa Carmel Singer)

From the Silence of your pain, I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears. Can you see me, I am here.
I will always be near you,
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories.
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur.
You ache to believe it's real
but you are afraid to hope
you brush away a strand of hair.
But it was I, whispering
I am only here for a moment.
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last
That it is all right for now
to say goodbye.

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

Request from Rainbow Bridge

♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥ ♥~♥~♥

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night,
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears,
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear now all is gone,
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife,
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
