Bobby was an RSPCA rescue puppy, she was part of our family, a much loved member of the family for 16 yrs. She will be missed by myself, my hubby and our three young children.



Heaven's Doggy-Door



My best friend closed her eyes last night,

As her head was in my hand.

The Doctors said she was in pain,

and it was hard for her to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,

As I cradled her in my arms.

Were of her younger, puppy years,

And Oh...her many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge

With an intense "I love you gaze",

Only a heart that's filled with tears

Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,

And she said, "You should cry no more,

GOD also loves our canine friends, He's installed a 'doggy-door'!!!





Creation

When God had made the earth and sky,

the flowers and the trees,

He then made all the animals

the fish, the birds, and bees

and when at last He'd finished

not one was quite the same.

He said I'll walk this world of mine

and give each one a name.

And so He traveled far and wide

and everywhere He went,

a little creature followed Him

until it's strength was spent.

When all were named upon the Earth

and in the Sky and Sea,

the little creature said, "Dear Lord,

there's no name left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him

"I've left you to the end.

I've turned my own name back to front

and called you DOG, my friend".



 The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

and pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done,

For this--the last battle--can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,

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,

What is to come can hold no fears

You'd not want me to suffer, so.

When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

Only, stay with me til 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 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.
