"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes." (Unknown Poet)
Patch, well, he was my best friend. The whole family's best friend actually. A truly wonderful dog,
and very much missed to this day.
He didn't have the best start in life, and 2 years of the treatment he had had prior to coming to us
he would be forgiven for not trusting another human again. He came to us in odd circumstances, but
it was definitely fate, and we were so lucky to share 10 wonderful years with him.
Patch was nearly human, I swear. He totally knew what you were saying to him, if you said "excuse
me" when he was laying in front of the cupboard you needed to get into, he'd get up instantly.
Keeping Dad company on the phone, lying at his feet, and when the conversation ended and Dad said
"Bye", he stood up before Dad did, as he knew the call was over.
Another level of understanding from our Patch.
So gentle was he, that when one of our hamsters escaped and ran across the floor, he came into the
living room to find us, and whined so we would follow him - only to find the hamster loose and
unharmed. An amazing dog.
You got the funeral you deserved sweetie, and the pet cemetary is so peaceful. Your grave is in the
perfect location, under a beautiful tree.
Til we meet again little man. Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. xxx
(Added January '09)
Well sweetie, I wanted to write more about our special boy. What about Squawk the budgie, who used
to imitate Dad's horn on his bike? You knew Dad always sounded the horn when he got home from work,
and rushed to the door to greet him...but Squawk teased you a lot and you thought it was Dad when it
wasn't!
You were there when I came home from school, and knew if I had not had a good day, your big brown
eyes were so comforting. When I started working, you were still there, after a hard day.
You were always there Patch, and we didn't want you to go, not ever. You were like a little old man
in your later years, started turning grey and that was so cute. You were still our scruffy little
man though, and always will be. xxx
♥♥♥♥♥ Beyond the Rainbow ♥♥♥♥♥
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

♥♥♥ Have You A Dog In Heaven? ♥♥♥
Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
And do you pat its head?
Does he sit up and beg each night
Before he goes to bed?
Does he look up with shining eyes
When he sees Your smiling face?
Does he wag his stubby little tail
When he wants to run a race?
Have You a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
He'll be waiting at Your door.
Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
Just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
Thats all he'll ask of Thee.
♥♥♥Our Memories Of You♥♥♥
(Written by Emma Doe)
Yesterday's gone
But we'll never forget-
We loved you a lifetime,
We love you yet.
A wish up to heaven
We fondly send-
Dear Patch, we remember-
Our darling, best friend.
Yesterday holds
Sweet memories of you-
Big soft, brown eyes,
Heart honest and true.
Your love and your loyalty
So freely you gave-
These memories of you
We share and save.
When Snowy, our hamster,
Nearly ran away,
You came to her rescue
And saved the day.
You took yourself up
To the park for a walk-
You barked at the horn,
But it was only Squawk!
You stood boldly by us,
You saw us through cares-
Yet you whimpered at thunder
And hid on the stairs!
You were our hero,
You came to our call-
If dogs are best friends,
You're the best of all.
Thank God for memories,
If memories are you-
That's all we have left
Our dear friend, so true!

CLOVER HEAVEN
There is a place called
Clover Heaven;
Where Life is renewed
and pain removed;
Where bodies are healed
and whole again;
Where life is now
filled with glee
as it must be;
A place our babies must go;
This place called
Clover Heaven.
Where the meadows are
full of Life
with peace and frolic
and no strife
nor fear of danger.
The flowers in full bloom
always changing colors
ever so grand
and a home for many others.
The breeze so soft,
free, and flowing;
So pure and brisk
and moves the grass
ever so tall,
it is a velvet carpet
after all;
So soft and smooth,
so very snug;
tis a good place to curl up
and take a snooze
and bask in the sun
that is ever so warm.
This place called Clover Heaven.
Where the water is so pure and clean;
it looks like a mirror
that I can see
and admire the renewed me.
The clover seems to reach the sky
so full and free
a good place to romp and play
hide and go seek.
So you see:
The sun so warm,
The water so clean,
The grass so smooth,
The breeze so soft,
The flowers in bloom,
A place to romp and play
To bask or bathe,
To snooze and rest
With food aplenty
And water to drink
With bodies whole
And free of pain
With life renewed
and filled with glee;
A place they must go
To await their masters.
So dear Master
Dry those Tears
and smile again
For I wait for you
In this Place called
Clover Heaven.

GOODNIGHT PATCH
Our earthly loss is always a heavenly gain
Although our hearts hurt and mourn in humanly pain
The fact still remains the same
That Heaven Has Gained more Love
To sprinkle down from above

♥ Love you little man. So many tears we've cried ♥
♥ I Hear Each Tear ♥
My Mom doesn't know I'm watching her
but I'm watching her just the same.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
at the mention of my name.
She says it sounds like music to her ears
and be heard over a crowd.
Oh, I hear each tear fall on her face,
when my name is said aloud.
I watch her stumble through each day
as she wishes the day would end.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
as she talks of me with her friends.
But there are few who truly understand.
Oh this I've heard her proclaim.
And I hear each tear fall on her face.
Will my Mom ever be the same?
I know that her smile can light up a sky,
But I don't see that smile today.
Oh, but I hear each tear fall on her face,
her blue skies have turned to grey.
Oh I send to her my warmest hug
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear a tear fall on her face,
for I shall erase them one by one.
Yes, my Mom doesn't know I'm watching her,
but I'm watching her just the same.
And if I hear a tear fall on her face
I'll just softly whisper her name.
(Kay Des'Ormeaux)
*~*~* LOVED AND LONGED FOR *~*~*
My soul is released in Heaven,
My spirit is in the wind,
I've arrived inside God's kingdom,
In Heaven here with Him.
Inside this place of beauty,
Enchantment always near,
Far past imagination,
This land that has no fear.
Think of me, when butterflies
Are flying everywhere,
I'm singing, dancing, laughing,
Free from earth's despair.
The other side of tomorrow,
Within God's time you'll see,
I know He'll bring you safely home,
Then forever we will be.
Keep a song inside your heart,
And know that I am free,
Do not weep in sorrow,
When you remember me.

Every flower that opens

Every ray of sunshine
Every snow flake from the sky
All the things around us

All the worlds beauty
Is you just calling to say
I am here with you
Every single day.

Wishing You Near
by Nick Alcantara
To realize
That time is so dear
When you are no
Longer here
I cling to memories,
Sweet memories
That bring you near
If only
I could touch you again
Without bringing back the pain
Feeling your presence
That you are not really
Very far away
That would bring us back
The aura and magic
Of being again
Together
I know you are
Just a whisper away
♥NIGHT NIGHT,SWEET DREAMS♥

As time goes by I won't forget,
That you were my beloved pet.
You made me happy when I was sad
And just for that I'm very glad.
God took you to his home in the sky.
I miss you son but please don't cry.
Although my heart is broken in two,
One day I'll come and be with you.
I don't know when, but when I do,
I will come and cuddle you.
I think about you everyday.
My heart will never feel the same way.
Until we meet again some day,
Together forever and never apart,
You'll be forever in my heart.
Always thinking of you, never forgotten,
LOVE NOW
& ALWAYS

It's Hard To See Tomorrow
It’s hard to see tomorrow, when
your beloved pet has gone.
And it’s harder still to realise,
that your life will still go on.
But the Lord won’t give you burdens,
which He knows you cannot bear,
and He will not leave you comfortless...
You’ll always find Him there.
We’re all our Father’s children, here
on earth, and up above,
And your Patch now walks close
to God ...
Surrounded by His love.
Night night darling. xxxxx

Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.
