Floss – 8mt old Collie x

[Jenny]

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it’s me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew…
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out…then come home to be with me.

And thanks a mill Audrey and Mary for the lovely posts!! Im on this site every day and although I read most posts I never usually leave comments, but i will be from now on as I never understood how much encouragement and support they offer when you have a bad/mad/sad day with the doggies xxx

So sad to hear the news. You must find comfort in knowing you made Her last days so comfortable. Imagine if this angel had had to face her final moments alone and frightened in a cold damp pound. Sending all our thoughts and hugs your way and hoping they help ease some of your pain xxx

So sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful Bella,just when her new life was beginning.You can have peace knowing that she knew your love for her in her final few days,the end could have been so different for her,alone,cold and unloved.

My youngest is only 9 weeks old and I adopted her from a pound 11 days ago and I fully understand how love can grow so quickly.
