Pet Bereavement

The Best Dog of All

Loving and loyal,
A friend through and through,
How in the world can I
live life without you?

I've known you since you
Were just a scrappy little pup.
Fighting to survive,
And you never gave up.

I watched you grow into a
beautiful canine friend.
Back in those days,
I could not imagine this end.

But now it is all over,
And you're truly gone.
Somehow I'll find a way
To try to carry on.

Perhaps one day I'll find
A new puppy who,
Will become my dear friend,
But she'll never replace you.

I'll keep your little photo
hung up on my wall,
And I'll always remember you
As the very best dog of all.

You Did Me a Kindness

When my legs grew too weak to carry me,
And my tired eyes could no longer see,
When it pained me to struggle for each new breath,
When my heart beat weaker, and I drew closer to death,
You did me the kindness of letting me go.
You didn't make me hang on when I was suffering so.
I promise I don't think that you loved me any less,
And I love you all the more for your selflessness.
You freed my spirit from its body so wracked with pain,
And let me run the fields of Heaven, where I'm sure we'll meet again.

To My Mom & Dad With Love (A Cat's Eulogy) December 2007 Don't be sad you had to end my pain, and know that you will see me once again. God's given me a place to wait for you, and you know what? He says He loves me too! There's lots of different critters all around, in Heaven there's no evil to be found. So all of us just seem to get along, and Angels serenade us with their songs. People here are kind they stroke my fur, and they all seem to love it when I purr. I'm no longer sick so I am glad, please don't fill your days by being sad. I haven't really gone that far away, and I'm really looking forward to the day, that we can be together up above, in this land of peace and happiness and love. Copyright: Karen Post - December, 2007
