For those of us who have lost the dog we love......
I Stood By Your Bed Last Night
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew, in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.

I'm very sorry about your Holly, it's really heartbreaking I know as well a few times. I've always said "never again" but always did anyways. I don't think I'd ever be happy without a dog at home. Even today when my Ben somehow broke the cruise control stalk in my car barking at someone outside the car no doubt, I'd rather have Ben than a working control .

Chris,
I am very sorry. People come and go, but our pets love us despite our missing two legs, being half-deaf, no noses to speak of and general blindness to the important things in life. Their only fault is ours: We outlive them.

I'd rather outlive my pets than have it the other way ar
They wouldn't be happy if I died, and nobody would love them as much as I do. At least that's what I'd like to believe.

Sorry for your loss, Chris. The animals in our lives take on a greater significance than some can comprehend. They often mean just as much as the people in our lives. Take care and know we're thinking about you.

After I had my dog cremated, I received this in the mail. I found it comforting for me in the sense that it seemed someone was able to identify exactly what it means to lose a dog, or any other loved animal for that matter, and then put a pen to it. This was on a card, sent to me anonymously:
"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
we cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."

What a beautiful companion Holly was
Chris.
I am sorry she is gone I am on pins and needles myself as my baby is 14 and getting up there.
I keep telling myself what a wonderful life we have given each other and focus on that and treasure each day.

Chris,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I found this little article yesterday and just have to share it with you.
A VETS STORY
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron and his wife Lisa and there little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belcker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made plans, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four year old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.
We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, wyo had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."
Startled we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I had never heard such a comforting explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four year old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Holly was quite a beauty! I am so very sorry for your loss. I dread the day we have to put down one of our "kids". It has to be a very helpless and horrible feeling.
Take Care and feel better.
