cyrus was a great dog.I never needed a leash for him,not even when he was 6 wks old he was always by
my side.He was always obedient and did what he was asked and told.I took him everywhere with me,he
even followed me about the house :)I couldn't ask for a better animal friend.He was great company
when you were in the house on your own,always wantin to play and run about.But sadly cyrus had to be
put to sleep,he was changing into a dog that i didn't know and i had to think of my little girl,the
hardest decision i've had to make in all my life and will never find another dog like him.I miss him
sooo much,he was so loving and i think about him all the time.

The Other Side
I have cried a river for you
So you can swim to the other side
Just follow that stick with
My last hug and kiss
Swim baby swim
To get to the other side
Where the grass is always green
The sun always shines and
Will warm you tired bones
Swim baby swim
A treat is always waiting
And play time never stops
Just remember to look for me
When I take my final swim
I will see your tail a wagging
Can't wait for my licks from you
When I get to the other side

Love Within My Eyes ~
I've been blessed with many things
The best of all is you,
A friend unlike all others,
With a Love so strong and true.
As the days go slowly by
I'll watch you from above
Guiding with a gentle paw
And never ending love.
When you need to feel me near
Look to the starry sky
For the twinkle that is brightest
Is the love within my eyes.
~ Author Terri Onorato ~
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

A DOGGIE PRAYER ♥♥
So do not grieve for me, my friend, as I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash is a shooting star
My boundaries are the milky way, where I sparkle from afar. ♥♥
There are no pens or kennels here, for I am not confined,
but free to roam God's heavens among my special kind. I nap the day on a snowy cloud and gentle breezes are rocking me; I dream the dreams of earthlings and how it used to be. ♥♥
The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound, and milk bones line the walking ways just waiting to be found.There even is a ring set up, the grass all lush and green, and everyone who gaits around becomes the "Best Of Breed". ♥♥
For we're all winners in this
place, we have no faults
you see. And God passes
out the ribbons to each
one--even me. I drink from
waters laced with gold, my
world a beauty to behold.
And wise old dogs do form
my pride to amble at my
very side.♥♥
At night I sleep in an
angel's arms, her wings
protecting me, and
moonbeams dance about
us as stardust falls on
thee.♥♥
So when your life on earth
is spent and you reach
heaven's gate, have no
fear of loneliness, for here,
you know I wait. ♥♥

In Memory of Spirit Helpers♥♥♥
In Memory of all our pets
who we know are more than just furry friends.
With the knowing look they tell us♥
that they are reading our thoughts,
feeling our pain,
loving us unconditionally.♥
They force us to be present,
to pay attention,
these deliverers of messages.♥
For all our friends in the Animal tribe,
here on the Good Red Road,
and those who have taken the Blue Road of Spirit,
Thank you;♥
And one day, when it comes time for us to drop our robe and take that Journey,
there they will be, waiting faithfully to greet us once again.♥

THERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT...
by Sarah Hartwell
There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the
spirits of those who have died. They have shed their earthly bodies and
exchanged them for bodies made of light; thousands upon thousands of our
dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky. There is
another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.
My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe. While I burn
on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing, the stars are
watching me. They are too far away for me to touch, just as you have
gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes. They
cannot be held close for comfort, just as I can no longer hold you
close, though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours. We
were together for such a short time, but the stars will burn forever.
One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body, my own star-time will
come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends
who have gone before me. On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited
in constellations of joy. Until then, my flame burns low and dim and
cold without you. Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?
There is a new star shining in the sky tonight
FOR CYRUS WITH LOVE
If you've ever known the joyful sound♥
Of barks that fill the air-♥
A sloppy kiss, a friendly paw,♥
A quiet adoring stare-♥
If you've ever had a special friend♥
To share a tear or two,♥
Or maybe just a wagging tail♥
To lift you when you're blue-♥
If you've ever felt the wrenching pain♥
That only death can send,♥
Then you have lost♥
Not just a dog-♥
You've truly lost a friend.♥
But God is good and treasures love♥
And there at Heaven's gate-♥
A sloppy kiss, a joyful bark-♥
Your precious friend awaits"♥

Now you sit at Heaven's Gate♥
Waggin' your tail, you patiently wait♥
Until the time we meet again♥
When I have reached my journey's end♥
Now I cried when you left that day♥
You weren't here to lick my tears away♥
Time will heal, my heart will mend♥
Tho you are missed...my beloved friend♥
I have peace in knowing what lays in store♥
When I find myself at Heaven's door♥
My tears of joy shall fall that day♥
And you will lick my tears away♥

Passages♥♥♥
♥Animals never belong to us,
They pass through our lives,
on journeys of their own.
They ask no more of us
than that we love them and
let them go on in dignity and peace.♥
♥Animals come and go with lessons to learn
and lessons to teach.
So, we love them and learn.
We accept the pain of their going
as we accept the joy of their coming.
All of it is a blessing.♥
