my heart
is heavy with pain
my eyes
tears falling like rain
as i lay
on the floor
praying
sleep, suffer no more
my best friend
lay's at God's gate
poisoned
by your hate
the torment he took
as he faithfully sat by your side
for coming between us
protectin me as i hide
my friend
my dog Bear
was all that i had
in this life so unfair
now blind
and in pain
for 13 years
he kept me sane
i'll miss him
more than you could possibly know
my only friend
who helped my love grow
kept the pain
from turning to hate
tought me forgiveness
no matter the mistake
the love
of a pet
memories i'll never forget
so hard to do
trying to comfort you
knowing in the morning
without thought or warning
i must put you
to sleep
for now my heart
can only weep

this is for my dog who just suffered a stroke and went blind last night. he laid by my side and with me he cried. as i took him out the door to take him home to god, he had to take his favorite toy. it broke my heart,knowing we wasnt going out to play

Love and Hugs coming your way.

Eternal Peace

Come here sweet boy; rest your loving head in my lap.
Quiet now.
Rest my sweet boy.
I know your body is growing old,
you are tired.
Oh! Sweet boy I love you so.
My heart is breaking; the tears do not stop.
That's it sweet boy, lie down and rest.
The pain will ease and sleep will be your haven of peace.
You have been with me so many years;
a loyal friend
through thick and thin.
Never straying with your love and tenderness.
Come here sweet boy;
rest your loving head in my lap
and
let sleep be your haven of eternal peace.

Bon-Bon

This is truly sad... I really love pets. We've got 5 parrots-- 3 Cockatoos, 1 Greenwing Macaw and a Cockatiel-- and a
Shih-Tzu dog. Thank God they are all well. I hurt for you.

A dog's love is unconditional, that is why we grieve so when they must leave us.
I know too well the pain you are experiencing right now. Just remember that you took good care of your old pal, and he knows that. Take care, Bless You, Chris

McGroves,
When my dad died, his aged dog almost drove my mother crazy. It missed my dad terribly, making itself sick, having accidents in the house, and tripping my mother. I knew my mother or the dog couldn't last much longer so I took the dog to the vet to put it painlessly to sleep. It was the right thing to do, but it hurt very much. I cried and cried. (Now Sammy, my dog is aging, losing his hearing and vision...He's my best friend next to my husband and mother. I have an idea what you're going through. Your writing is touching.)

How sad. And all I can offer you is a cyber hug, and this: He had a great life with you, and you had the chance to know unconditional love.
