Pj WITH LOVE

I miss you so much; my four-legged friend
I ask myself each day; if the pain will ever end
Your loss is so hard; for one person to bear
because we were a team; an inseparable pair

You were by my side; when I got up each day
waiting so patiently; to go out and play
You were there each night; when I got home
waiting to go to the park; where you could roam

You always knew; if I was having a bad day
so you'd snuggle up close; and try to get me to play
If that didn't work; you'd put your head in my lap
then make yourself comfortable; and take a nap

One way or another you; would brighten my day
like only you could; you had a special way
You gave me a lifetime; of memories to hold
through all the years ahead; till I'm gray and old

I promise I'll see you; again one day
when we'll be together again; to go run and play
Your loss is a cross; I will just have to bear
because you and I know; we're an inseparable pair

sending kisses to heaven

Dear PJ some days are so hard without you,in fact most days,I would do anything if I could just have you and Sammy here again,I am always looking for something of yours,have found a few hairs here and there,crazy but I pet the hair as if you were still here,I feel like our goodbye was so quick,I knew as well as you that your days were coming to an end,your body was giving up and mommy didn't want you to struggle anymore. I just wish I would have held you longer that last day and gave you more kisses instead of running around in a panic and screaming because you were so sick,I just want you to know a part of me went with you that day and that I will always love you,be waiting for me sweet pea you and Sammy whenever that day comes for me,maybe you know and already are prepared for that day. just know mommy will never forget you,you were to special to me,so was Sammy,miss you both so very much, sending lots of kisses to you both,should be reaching heaven soon!!!!!!!!

They're Only Ours for a Little While

…..Their lives are lived in miniature-
bright sun to palest moon.

They bless our days with innocence,
and faithfulness that's stilled too soon.

These precious lives are fragile,
as fleeting as a child’s smile.
So give them all the love you have,
they're only ours for a little while.

And in the lonely moments,
when you pause to wonder why.
Hold close those brightest shooting stars,
that burn so briefly in our sky.

But then look deeper in your heart,
to know all love must intertwine.
And when the night sky seems the darkest,
you'll see their light forever shine.

- Nancy Hanson.

Went to strutt your mutt today,first time without you dear boy,sure made me miss you even more,your sister loved it,barked at all the other dogs like she usually does,trying to cause trouble! I saw a little verse today,that made me think of you and sammy,it is so true! Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawakened. you and sam have awakened my soul and have made me a better person,I love your sister,hard to give her attention sometimes,dont want you to think I have forgotten you,but you know I could never do that, I know you would want me to love her as I did you and Sammy and other animals, thats the kind of dog you were,very loving and kind. Miss you so much boy,you are and will be forever in my heart!!

Hello Dear friend.

Dear Pj my sweet baby boy,was thinking about you and Sammy this morning like I do everyday,thinking about all those years we spent together,how they went so fast and how they are suddenly gone. This old house will never be the same without you both,it just doesnt feel right,trying hard to get by,thank -god I have your wonderful daddy and Sabrina and not to mention the crazy cat that you both loved to chase,she has been very kind and supportive,I have to say,its like she knows I am greiving for you both. I know we will be all together again one day,I almost got a little puppy the other day in Amish country,but he was to expensive and then I started thinking about trying to love another dog and felt hurt because it wasnt you guys. But I know that you both would want mommy to love other animals, just like I did for you two. So if that is whats meant to be, I feel within time you guys will send me and daddy and sabrina another special friend,but I want you both to know you will always be in my heart and never forgotten no matter what!! Strutt your mutt is this weekend,sure wish you were here to go,but I know you will be there with me in my heart! It is hard for me to go but daddy wants to take Sabrina and she needs to get away she has been sad and lonely to,I know she misses you both too. Lots of Love and Kisses sent to you and Sammy!!!

Since you have gone the sun has left the sky,
No breezes blow,
No birds sing
To ease the aching vacuum in my heart.
I shall not forget your gentle ways;
No judgements made,
No difficult demands,
No needs save one,
To share your life with mine.
Now kind, uncomprehending people say,
"Cheer up, you'll love another pet some day."

A Parting Prayer
Dear Lord, Please open your gates and call St Francis
to come and escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.
Assign him a place of honor,
for he has been a faithful servant
and has always tried to please me.
Bless the hands that send him to you,
For they do so in love and compassion
freeing him from pain and suffering.
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of his life with the love he has shown me
And grant me the courage to honor him by sharing these memories with others.
Let him remember me well
Let him know I will always love him
And when it is my time to pass over into your paradise
Please allow him to accompany those that will bring me home.
Thank You Lord
For the gift of his companionship
and the time we've had together.
And Thank You Lord
For granting me the strength
To give him to you now.
Peace.

FOREVER Pj

Take me to the bridge
Where the fresh clear waters flow
Take me to the sunshine
Show me the virgin snow
Take me to a new place
Where I can feel no pain
My body be renewed, reborn
My spirit whole again
You have loved me endlessly
And I have loved you so
You gave me more than I could ask
It breaks my heart to go
But it's time for me to leave your side
Time for my spirit to soar
For this moment I have waited all my life
Freedom for evermore
Please don't be sad, don't weep for me
I have found so many friends
Take comfort in my angel's wings
May they help your broken heart mend
I love you so, I always have
You know I always will
I miss you too, our life, our love
But I'll be waiting still
I'll be here when you come to join me
I'll wait through all the years
But please don't rush... take time, enjoy,
Don't live your life in tears.
I can't come down to lick them dry
The way I used to do
So weep no more, and smile for me
For I'm smiling down on you.
I thank you from my furry soul
for what you have done for me
You helped me cross an ancient bridge
And I made it across safely.
I was welcomed by so many friends
Who knew my name and yours
They'd heard us mentioned in so many prayers
And ran to meet me at the door.
I want to tell you of these new wonders
But I don't want to spoil the surprise
So go in peace, in love, and in warmth,
Till we see each others eyes.
Goodbye dear friend, but not forever,
Just for a little while
Be strong for me and for the others
...And don't forget that smile!!!

Forever friend

Close your eyes now my longtime friend and let the time of suffering come to a peaceful end.
We will walk together soon, I am sure.
as winter turns to spring,as snow gives way to budding leaves and the birds begin to sing.
The gentle breeze shall call your name along the waters edge. For what we shared and what you meant shall never be forgot. Your friendship spans the years behind,your memory ahead.
You will always be there next to me companion and good friend. Love always mommy
