Paw Prints On My Heart

Paw Prints On My Heart

You came into my life one day,
So beautiful and smart,
My dear and sweet companion,
I loved you from the start.

And though I knew the time would come,
When we would have to part,
You'll never be forgotten,
You left paw prints on my heart.

(I love and miss you so much Montana!)

13 mos

Well my sweet boy.  It has been 13 mos since you left me.  My heart is just broken.  I miss you so much!  I just cry for you every day.  This heart ache won't go away.  You took my heart with you when you passed away.  I feel empty.  Bailey is the only thing keeping me going.  She is such a sweetheart and I know she misses you too.  There are days I just don't want to get out of bed and she makes me.  I have to continue living for her.  There are times I think about getting another dog but then I think about Bailey and how she would deal with another dog here.  I think she is enjoying having me by herself.  I don't think she wants to share me with anyone.  Or...maybe I am just not ready for another dog.  There are so many that need homes and if I could I would rescue them all.  No one would EVER take your place.  I hope you know that.  There will NEVER be another Montana!  Oh my boy...I miss you.  I miss everything about you.  I miss the feel of your fur, your sweet husky smile and your sillyness.  I hope you know how much I love you.  You will always be my heart.  Rest well my boy!

Friend Don't Mourn For Me

Friend, please don’t mourn for me
I’m still here, though you don’t see.
I’m right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I’m always near.
I’m everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I’ll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I’ll never wander out of your sight-
I’m the brightest star on a summer’s night.
I’ll never be beyond your reach-
I’m the warm moist sand when you’re at the beach.

I’m the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I’m the beautiful flowers of which you’re so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you’ll see that the face in the moon shine is mine.

When you start thinking there’s no one to love you,
you can talk to through the Lord up above you.
I’ll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face.

I yr Later! Where are you now?

1 YR later and where are you now?  Are you still waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge? Are you North of the Bridge?  I guess I would have to laugh a little if you are North of Rainbow Bridge since you were never really fond of the snow or even getting your feet wet.  You were such a silly boy.  Anniversaries are so hard.  Especially the first one.  I stayed up to 4am today (September 5, 2012) to make it to the minute you left me last year.  I cried and cried....and I still cry!  You were my life...... my heart dog.  There will never be another one like you.  Because of this I don't know if I could ever get another Siberian Husky.  You were the perfect starter husky one that will never be replaced.  You loved to lay around and play with your Buster Cube or chew on a rawhide or knuckle bone.  You loved food!  You always had a smile on your face.  You made me very very happy.  I hope I at least made you a little happy too.  You were my love and my angel.  You will forever be in my heart.  Wear you Silver Harness with Pride my love.

When the Time Comes

When the Time Comes


If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When my times come, please, let me go.

Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with my till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail has last it's wave
From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

A Loan From God

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
His time on earth is short, he said,
So love him while he lives.

It may be six or seven years,
Or twelve or then sixteen,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,

And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend he will,
Be loyal all the while.

He'll bring his charms to grace your life,
And though his stay be brief,
When he's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

Whatever love you give to him,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow his lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasure.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joy this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.

"But shall the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.
