"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!

Littlest Angel of Mine
(by Terri Onorato)
I was adrift on waves of feelings
swirling circles about my mind
wondering if I had the strength
to decide it was your time.
Did I have the right to make this choice
that would change our lives forever,
did I have the will to sacrifice
our precious time together?
Was I wrong in thinking of myself
while you grew so frail and weak,
was I selfish in my desperate need
to have you here with me to keep?
Into your bright green eyes I searched
and found within your soul,
the echo of a far-seen wisdom
the kind which only angels know.
You gently rocked my broken heart
and with angelic calm
you lifted all the guilt I felt
for wanting to hold on.
You showed me that the choice with which
I felt so wrecked and torn
lay upon a path God paved
the day that you were born.
Somehow you made me understand
the choice was never mine,
it had been appointed long before,
in another place and time.
So as I lay you down to sleep
your eternal spirit shines
and our paths will cross again someday
littlest angel of mine.
Dearest Patch
Although we cannot see you,
we know just where you are,
by day you are our sunshine,
by night our brightest star
xxxxxxxxxxxx from Amanda
Miss you every second of every day. xxx
♥ HEARTSTRINGS ♥
When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond our tears and all the world's wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand.
Author Unknown
So go and run free
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

♥ Peace My Heart ♥
♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.

Our Brighton trip will always bring fond memories darling. xxx
I Thought Of You
I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder….
Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --
I too will pass through death..
And you will hear that sound again with me.
Sara Teasdale
Thinking of you darling. xxxxx
I Thought of You Today.
I woke early this morning, lifted the shade
to a sky overcast and gray.
No ray of sun to brighten my heart,
and I thought of you today.
The breezes of summer are no more
and have moved along on their way.
The crisp air of autumn has settled in,
and I thought of you today.
The crunch of the leaves under my feet,
I remembered how you loved to play,
chasing the leaves across the yard,
and I thought of you today.
As the daylight faded into dusk
and the shadows came to play,
I lit a candle and watched the flame dance,
and I thought of you today.
I crawled into bed, turned out the lamp
and glanced where you used to lay.
The tears came again, as they always do,
as I thought of you today.

There Are Better Times Ahead....
♥ Please stay a while,
under this old Oak tree.
Please – just close your eyes,
and try to remember me.
♥ Recall the days,
when we first met,
I miss them so...
and yet. … and yet...
There are better times ahead....
♥ Where, like before –
I'll be a young puppy,
and I’ll have no more pain!
You'll scratch my chin,
and hug me again.
♥ For I'm not gone....
I sit and wait,
for the creaking sound,
of the garden gate.
♥ I wait to see you;
cross the Ridge
I wait for you;
at the Rainbow Bridge. xxx
