The look in your eyes was sad as could be. They could melt anyone`s heart even old Grumpy. You would give your love freely only once in awhile. But when you were ready to play it always made me smile. You were only a year old when you came to me. You were 20 years old when God set your suffering free. No more will I have someone like you come and stay. You would be my last dog when God took you away. |

Pets play an important part in our lives, the love they give is a power not to be underestimated. |

Juanita...this really hurts. Your pain weeps through the lines and jumps out of my screen. That poor little dog...I remember him whimpering when I was at your house...but thankfully he is at peace now... but its still so very sad.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

NC Girl - A very sweet poem about man's best friend. Please don't let Karilea upset you by her inclusion of cats in your fine sentiments. She thinks cats are sweet. But WE know, don't we? |

It hurts for a long time when you lose a pet that's been part of your life that many years. The wonderful memories will stay with you forever. |

 (big hugggsssss) Oh Juanita, this is sooooo very sad, my heart goes out to you! (tears fall down my cheeks) I know how that feels, for I used to have two cats named Holly and Suky, and they both passed away the same year and they were the only companions I had as a child! (wipes tears) My heart goes out to you and I pray that love and healing can replace the hurt and your petes love will always guide you! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) Soooooo sad but well-written, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Juanita, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Dear Juanita, This is so sad. I'm sorry you lost Peaches, but suffering should be ended. You write from your heart, and you have a lovely heart, so your writing is lovely. (Except, of course, when it's wicked!)  Nan |
