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

GOODNITE OUR SPECIAL BOY

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

A touching story, and so true! We have a lot to learn from our precious 4-legged friends. x

♥═══♥ WHY HUMANS LIVE LONGER THAN DOGS ♥═══♥


Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker 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 arrangements, 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 some thing 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, who 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'd never heard a more 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."

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to God.

Rest your weary head and drift off into dreams,
Frolic in the sunshine and bathe in God's moonbeams.
Use the stars as stepping-stones to take you to your peace,
The pain of life forgotten now you have found release.
Without rain a flower folds, the petals drop and die,
There was no way to save you, you couldn't even cry.
So we cry all the tears instead as we must let you go
To Heaven, and God's garden to blossom and to grow.
The little seed is planted, you'll be watered every day,
The angels will tend all your needs as in their arms you lay.
Your life will be amazing now and full of wondrous things,
Rest in peace, our dear, sweet Ben, go fly on angels wings.

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ In Peace Go Home ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ
Alan Pemberton

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love.

Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait.

For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more.
