You’re only a dog, old fellow; a dog,
and you’ve had your day;
But never a friend of all my friends
has been truer than you alway.

My Forever Friend I know that it must be different, now that I am no longer there. I realize how much I was loved and how all of you did care. I know it will be hard at first when you look around for me. Expecting to find me in my bed or beside my favorite tree. Someday you will begin to see although it'll take some time, the happy times you shared with me, the memories are yours and mine. I'll remember you, my friends, and how much you meant to me. So please don't grieve and don't be sad, it was just my time to leave. Author Unkown

Goodbye With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes after all these years; we must say goodbye Please understand; we've done all we could if there was anything we could do; you know we would I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears The memories you gave us; we'll never forget especially the ones; of the day we all met One last hug; and one last kiss you have no idea; how much you'll be missed To look into your eyes; this one last time you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time Close your eyes now; and go to sleep we'll pray to the Lord; your soul he'll keep Go in peace now; our good friend we'll stay right here with you; until the end Dream of that special day and time when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine We'll run and play; side by side with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside Your memory will live on; in each one of us you'll always be number 1; to all of us Have a safe journey; through the night I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes just for now my friend; we say goodbye John Quealy

When A Pet Dies
When a pet dies, that special place in our hearts feels so empty...
But we realize, as time passes, that animals have a way of teaching us about loving, about loyalty, joy, and friendship...
And whatever we’ve shared in their presence can never really be lost.

Memories Build A Special Bridge
Memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we’re with them still
and soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
and brings us peace of mind.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.   It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'feed an animal in need' for free. It's in a purple box in the middle of the page. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.   Please click on the logo to the left to be brought to the page.
