Monet touched the hearts of everyone who got the chance to meet him.  But, he touched my life the most--he was always there, by my side, through the good times and the bad.  I wish his life could have been longer--I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye--but I know he had a lot of fun in the short time he was with us!



Special Place



You have a special place, Dear Lord

That I know you’ll always keep.

A special place reserved for dogs,

To peacefully fall asleep.



A place with fluffy pillows,

And a yard for hiding bones,

With maybe a little babbling creek,

That rushes over stones.



With wide green fields and flowers,

For those who never knew

Of running, playing freely

Under sky of perfect blue.



Lord, I know you keep this special place,

And so, to you I pray

For one oh so special dog

Who came to you today.



He was full of strength and love,

And so very, very wise.

The puppy look he once had,

This morning left his eyes.



He will be dearly missed, Lord,

This special love of mine.

But now, he’ll romp and play

In your land that’s so divine.



Speak to my baby softly, please

With a hug and warm hello.

He’s a special gift to you, Dear Lord

From me — who loves him so.
