If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they will tend,
Only, stay with me until the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Tribute To My Best Friend
Sunlight streams through window pane
Unto a spot on the floor,
Then I remember,
It's where you used to lie,
But now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
And muted echoes sound, then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
And up beyond the hill,
Then I remember it can't be yours,
Your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
And lay them with the absent voice
And unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
In a blanket of my love
And keep them for my best friend
Until we meet above.

My Dog My Friend
When God had made the earth
And sky, the flowers and trees,
He then made all the animals
And all the birds and bees.
And when His work was finished
Not one was quite the same
He said, I'll walk this earth of
Mine and give each one a name.
And so He travelled land and sea
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him,
Until his strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me.
The Father smiled and softly said,
I've left you to the end.
And called you, DOG, my friend.
Penny died on the day I took this picture. She was very sick and I tried everything in my power to save her.
She had spent 7 straight days at the Vet, but it was impossible to save her. She was a diabetic and I would give
her her insulin shots twice per day and she had to be fed special food at the exact hour everyday.
Mickey and Jewely, my other 2 toy poodles, stayed with her constantly, cuddled up against her. They knew that she was going
to die. They were so sad and when she died, they went through depression for a long time. In the picture, she is covered
up with her favorite quilt that says "Puppy Puddle" and it's been her blanket since I brought her home when she was just
six weeks old.
Penny was the joy of my life and she was always there to see me through my laughter, fears and tears. It seems she was in
my life since the day I was born. I let her suffer for about a week, because I just couldn't let her go. But when I saw
that her suffering was too much for her to bear, I finally took her to be put to sleep. It was the most horrible experience
of my life and the sobs I went through felt as though my chest was going to explode from the pain.
I brought her tiny body home and placed it in a little suitcase with all of her favorite things. I buried her outside, right
under my bedroom window.
Although it is very painful to think about her, I go through my memories of her when I first brought her home, in the palm of my
hand. Memories rush of how she felt cuddle up against me when I would go to sleep and of all the happiness she brought
into my life and of her unconditional love and devotion for me.
Thank God I have Mickey and Jewely, I don't think I would have made it, were it not for them.
I have 8 more BIG outdoor dogs, a cat, a wild rabbit and a hedgehog. If you would like to see pictures of these wonderful
pets,
This is a picture of one of my little dogs, Penny. It was very hard creating this page with "Dogs Don't Have Souls, Do They".
