Ahh…Indianna…..she had such a great life with you..run free little woman.
Hi Indianna, I like you believe that we will all meet up again someday and I have this poem on my fridge with pics of doggies I have lost. Its so tough losing a pet and this poem reminds me they stay in our hearts forever.
Stood Beside Your Bed Last Night
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.
"Its 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 want to take your parcels, I wished I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for the key,
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It’s me".
You looked so very tired and then you sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.
Its 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
That 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, Sweet Dreams, 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 to greet you and well stand together side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there’s much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out; then come home and be with me.
Cassie is no longer in pain and is running free at rainbows bridge …..again am a firm believer that we will all meet our devoted dogs who have gone before us some day and just think of the welcome we will get when we do….
Indianna, I remember the day Cassie left the Pound. It’s as if she knew she was on her way to a wonderful life. She hopped into the front seat of the car, sat there and waited patiently until it was time to go. We waved as the car left the Pound but Cassie didn’t look back, why would she.
You have given her the best years of her life and she will always be close by.
indianna you have been a wonderful mammy to cassie and all your furbabies and they are up there knowing what a great life they had.
as always give hugs to our wonderful nellibi
Indianna
Cassie had great life with you, I`m sure she was happy to get out of pound and lead happy life as a member of your family X
So sorry to hear about Cassie… You gave her a great life, which she wouldn’t of even had the chance of having if it wasn’t for you.
R.I.P Cassie ![]()
We would like to send a massive thank you to Indianna for her generous donation in Cassies memory..thank you so much:D
Many thanks Indianna. You contribute in so many ways to DID. I always look forwarding to reading your posts on all the DID doggies.
Thankyou both for the kind comments. Even people reading the blog thinking "who is Cassie" is good. She is running through peoples’ thoughts. She REALLY built the road between the great DID and myself, thanks Cass ![]()
I’m very sorry for your loss Indianna. Our beloved dogs who have passed away will remain in our hearts and minds until the day that we leave this mortal coil. Hopefully we will meet them again – I like to think that way.
Thank you. I too, am sure that our dogs are always with us, but its still very difficult trying to deal with their lack of physical presence on daily basis but never far from our thoughts. ![]()
long time ago beneath others a small dog
was in the pound in desperate need of a
loving home … ![]()

and the small dog found a loving home,
transportation had to be organised
..
there was not much time
..
and the small dog came to a home with
other dogs it at never seen.. ![]()
the small dog had to learn how to behave ![]()
but all went out well as the result of the
knowledge and patience of the new "Mom" ![]()
Dear Idianna, thank you for all you gave to this little girl!
may she Rest in Peace
Dear greyT
Thank you so much for surrounding my Cassie with a golden star. I know I keep calling her ‘my Cassie’ because there are many other dogs called Cassie but she is our one and only Cassie. She was an old girl when she came home to us, her family. My ONLY regret regarding Cassie was that she was not younger when she ‘landed’ here and could have enjoyed her life for a great deal longer. I do take heart from the fact she was very much part of the family, was fed, watered and sheltered as the rest of us and given veterinary treatment when she needed it. She loved squeaky toys but they never lasted long
, used to have a ‘smiley’ mouth when she was alseep
and was just a dear, sweet little dog who is greatly missed. She was the leader of our little pack and protector of her family both canine and human. I am sure she is with us still, she will certainly never be forgotten – exactly the same as all our other dogs who have departed their ‘physical’ life on the planet. She gave us the unbreakable link with DID ![]()
R.I.P Cassie.Sorry to hear that sad news about your dogs Indianna
She couldn’t have found a better home,than with you for the remainder of her life.
