"Waiting at the Gate"
I explained to Saint Peter
I'd rather wait here,
Just outside the Pearly Gate.
I won't be a nuisance, I won't even bark,
I'll be very patient and wait.
I'll be right here chewing
A celestial bone,
No matter how long you may be,
'Cos I'd miss you too much
If I went in alone…
It wouldn't be heaven for me.

" I Said A Prayer For You Today "
I said a prayer for you today that God would make a way,
For you to meet me in Heaven someday.
I know you were just a pet to some,
But I know you were sent here for me to LOVE.
You brought me JOY and some tears,
But I Praise God for all the GOOD YEARS.
This is the first Christmas since you've been gone,
I can't believe you left me alone.
No more opening your presents or having you near,
I can't help but believe that you should be here.
I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU, I TRULY DO,
But I know that God is taking care of you......
I love you Hot-Dog,
Love, Mommy.
by Ronda Brummett for Angel Eenie
"Time to change”
I knew u since u were a little tyke shy little one seem to recall,
I always wanted a friend like u loyal loving and caring all thrown into one package.
Your loving and caring ways always brought a smile to my face,
Looking into your eyes knowing that there was and still is a lot of your love to give
We grew as one.
Times of change have come upon us now we have to go our different ways you go yours
I go mine don’t look back it will only hurt I left you today with a tear in my eye but I
made the mistake of looking back and hearing you call but I knew I couldn’t bring myself
to look back over my shoulder
We drove away somehow I knew that we were doing the right thing but I couldn’t help
but have that sinking feeling in my heart I was losing not only a friend but a life time of
good times to match it but I know now not to remember the bad times we spent together
but the good times of being with each other making the most of the time we spent together,
I hear u call each night were apart as I cry myself to sleep
I know there is a new life about to start u can share more of that love care and attention u
share with each and every person u come across in your life
My dear friend I am sorry but I know what was done was right and some day maybe not
long from now we will see each other and know
That what was done was done in love.

"In Memory of Yaeger"
30th August 1991 to 15th January 2003
Today I say good-bye
To a special friend
So sad am I
That it comes to an end
Your beauty and power
A true mark of perfection
You always had time
For a hug and affection
We were together in good times
And together in bad
Always-high spirits whether
I was happy or sad
The times we played
And the times we walked
Sometimes we ran
And sometimes we talked
Bold and brave
From the very start
You lived at full speed
No quit in your heart
Always on you
I could depend
Ready on guard
Prepared to defend
About a true friend
It's true what they say
You knew me the most
And loved me anyway
So today I say thank you
I love all you have been
I shall never forget you
My forever faithful
Special friend
by Rick Kassiotis
"Joshua"
Little did we know
That our daily greeting
would be our last.
You were my good morning
And my good night.
Our friendship
In words unspoken
Kindred love
the loudest echo
And the deepest loss.
My heart cries
In midnight blue.
My friend
Where are you now?
I was with you at the last
Final breathe, a sigh
in my heart for eternity.
Day among days
we did not know
companion, dear friend
tears fall in silent torment.
Loss, such a small word,
sorrow of sorrows.
Be here now.
Honesty and Wisdom
Your gift for me.
Unconditional love,
Little did we know.
My friend, Joshua
Where are you now?
by Adrian Wait
"Charlie"
We walked the isles of the animal shelter and caught a glimpse of him,
His eyes were so sad and so very dim,
Through that wire caged kennel, that became his dome,
He pleaded with us ‘Please take me home’.
They took him out to play and see if he was the one for us,
His eyes lit up, his tail wagged, he was so happy to be given a fuss,
Instantly, we had a connection, we fell in love,
It was like he was meant for us and sent from heaven above
We took him home; at first he was frightened,
When he realised he had joined a loving family, he quietened,
He settled in, only to find,
We were exactly the family and new home he had in mind
He became our baby, our one and only truly loved boy,
Very spoilt, he had everything he wished, especially his favourite toys,
He thoroughly enjoyed a good play,
And laid down for his favourite belly rub after a long day
We were at his beck and call,
To ensure he was most comfortable of all,
Some people thought he was too spoilt maybe,
But not us, he deserved it, he was our baby
Years passed by, he began to mature,
To our devastation, his years began to fewer,
We knew he was getting old,
But couldn’t bear the thought of not having him to hold
Then he got sick, he was slow, tired, weak and completely thrown,
The vets said he had anaemia, the cause unknown,
He stayed at the hospital for a week to treat,
Tests after tests, results proved incomplete
He began to deteriorate, found it hard to breathe,
He came home for a night, but even a wag tail was hard to retrieve,
We couldn’t stand to see him unhappy this way,
So we made our decision and put him to sleep to end any suffering that was coming that day
Although we knew, for him, we did what was best,
It doesn’t make it any easier, gone are the cuddles, licks and all the rest,
We miss him, our darling Charlie, so very dearly,
But will always hold his memories exceptionally clearly,
Close to our hearts, now and always he will stay,
In our own very very special way.
