MY BEAUTIFUL GERMAN SHEPHERD
MY BIG CUDDLY FURBABY.
YOU BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY INTO OUR LIVES, LOVE YOU BEN FOR ETERNITY XXX . MISS YOU BEN XXX
Today ,Tuesday 11.30 am 17 th Feb 2009 our special big guy, Ben fell asleep forever ,we lost u to
cancer, we got you when u were just six weeks old , and what a terror u were ,but we loved u
anyways , u have been our lives for the past six and a half years and we will cherish that forever .
it's just not fare , u are to young to go to heaven , u should have passed in ur sleep at a ripe
old age , but sadly that was'nt to be , our hearts are broken without u, u will always be in our
hearts ,we love u big guy ,
Ben was our wean,just the three of us,always together.
Ben was so special to us and to everyone who knew him , everyone loved him , when christmas arrived
my mum used to give me twenty quid to get him toys and markies , we spoiled him rotten ,, Birthdays
we celabrated too , Ben will be sadly missed by all , last night ( monday 16th) we had so many
visitors to see him , before he left us , i was amazed ,so many people are going to miss him ,, if i
get that many visitors before i go, i will do well ,,
Ben's fav things , he loved his long walks up the walkway, and also ayr beach he loved his markies
and his fried steak well done i might add, also his strawberry cheese cake we sat and shared one
last nite ,and he really enjoyed it , but what he loved most in the world was the sunsine yes
sunshine, when my back door was open and the sun was shining it created a shadow diagonally towards
my garage so if i shook the door ben would chase the shadow he loved it so much, so i would torment
him by chanting " ooooh the sunshine is out to play" he would go bonkers and run for the door, the
same applied to a torch u would only have to say the word torch and he would sit at the cupboard
door where the torch was kept ,we had lots of fun in the time we were together and i will cherish
every minute of it for the rest of my life ...i have video's of u and thousands of photo's of u too
, as you know that photography is my favorite past time
As i said, Ben loved to pose for the camera, everywhere we went i took my camera, even up the
walkway on any normal day , cause there was never a day he would'nt surprise us doing something or
other , he was remarkable , very intelligant , trustworthy and very protective , our family is not
complete anymore without him

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; you're 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
We love you Ben, and always will.
You may be gone son, but we will
Never forget you. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 1.....
IN OUR HEARTS......
GOODNITE OUR SPECIAL BOY

Summerlands
Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were our brief rainbow.
You entered our life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love (ad infinitum)...
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable
Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful we are that we had you,
Our brief rainbow.
(Peggy Kociscin)
I Thought of You Today.
I woke early this morning, lifted the shade
to a sky overcast and gray.
No ray of sun to brighten my heart,
and I thought of you today.
The breezes of summer are no more
and have moved along on their way.
The crisp air of autumn has settled in,
and I thought of you today.
The crunch of the leaves under my feet,
I remembered how you loved to play,
chasing the leaves across the yard,
and I thought of you today.
As the daylight faded into dusk
and the shadows came to play,
I lit a candle and watched the flame dance,
and I thought of you today.
I crawled into bed, turned out the lamp
and glanced where you used to lay.
The tears came again, as they always do,
as I thought of you today.

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.

Where Peace Flows Like a River.
Together we will journey
To that land up in the sky
Where the flame does burn eternal
And the soul does never die.
Where the harps are gently playing
As a host of angels sing
Where the road is paved with diamonds
And the golden bells do ring.
Where the path is set before us
Shining brightly as the sun
We will see the face of Jesus
When our final race is run.
Where the peace flows like a river
Winding through the streets of gold
We will dine with priests and prophets
When the key to life, we hold.
Where the flame does burn eternal
In that sacred Promised Land
Where God holds the gift of freedom
In the cleft of His right hand.
Where we'll see the face of loved ones
Long before us, gone away
What a day of sweet rejoicing
When we meet again someday.
Where we'll gather at the river
In our home up in the sky
Where the peace flows like a fountain
And the soul does never die.

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

♥ The Only Way ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
• The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
• How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
• So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness.

*** Love to you and your Angel from Mel. ***
♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.
