"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!

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
The soul is indestructible and its activity will continue through eternity. It is like the sun, which, to our eyes, seems to set at night; but it has in reality only gone to diffuse its light elsewhere...
God Bless.
Dreams ~
Please don't think you are alone
because I've left your sight,
for I proudly sit atop a cloud
and visit you each night.
The angel paws upon your skin,
and the nudge within your palm
are really me inside your dreams
the quiet hours before dawn.
Please know I'm waiting for you,
but until your time arrives
I'll be the touch and comforting
the dreams that fill your mind.

Please See Me Through My Tears
by Kelly Osmont
You asked, "How am I doing?"
As I told you, tears came to my eyes...
and you looked away and quickly began to talk again.
All the attention you had given me drained away.
"How am I doing?"...I do better when people listen,
though I may shed a tear or two.
This pain is indescribable.
If you've never known it you cannot fully understand.
Yet I need you.
When you look away,
When I'm ignored,
I am again alone with it
Your attention means more than you can ever know.
Really, tears are not a bad sign, you know!
They're nature's way of helping me to heal...
They relieve some of the stress of sadness.
I know you fear that asking how I'm doing brings me sadness
...but you're wrong.
The memory of my loved one's death will always be with me,
Only a thought away.
My tears make my pain more visible to you, but you did not
give me the pain...it was already there.
When I cry, could it be that you feel helpless, not knowing
what to do?
You are not helpless,
And you don't need to do a thing but be there.
When I feel your permission to allow my tears to flow,
you've helped me
You need not speak. Your silence as I cry is all I need.
Be patient...do not fear.
Listening with your heart to "how I am doing"
relieves the pain,
for when the tears can freely come and go, I feel lighter.
Talking to you releases what I've been wanting to say aloud,
clearing space
for a touch of joy in my life.
I'll cry for a minute or two...
and then I'll wipe my eyes,
and sometimes you'll even find I'm laughing later.
When I hold back the tears, my throat grows tight,
my chest aches, my stomach knots...
because I'm trying to protect you from my tears.
Then we both hurt...me, because my pain is held inside,
a shield against our closeness...and you,
because suddenly we're distant.
So please, take my hand and see me through my tears...
then we can be close again.
I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.
The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take too long.
Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and new
I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me.
Try to understand God is taking care of me...
I'm in the shelter of His hands.
Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain.
Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again.
Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing.
I really have to go for now... I've just got to try my wings.

My special star, always and forever. Love you darling. xxx
The times when
I miss you the most
I remind myself that
we can never really be apart
Because you are always
on my mind
and forever in my heart.

Where Peace Flows Like a River.
Together we will journey
To that land up in the sky
Where the flame does burn eternal
And the soul does never die.
Where the harps are gently playing
As a host of angels sing
Where the road is paved with diamonds
And the golden bells do ring.
Where the path is set before us
Shining brightly as the sun
We will see the face of Jesus
When our final race is run.
Where the peace flows like a river
Winding through the streets of gold
We will dine with priests and prophets
When the key to life, we hold.
Where the flame does burn eternal
In that sacred Promised Land
Where God holds the gift of freedom
In the cleft of His right hand.
Where we'll see the face of loved ones
Long before us, gone away
What a day of sweet rejoicing
When we meet again someday.
Where we'll gather at the river
In our home up in the sky
Where the peace flows like a fountain
And the soul does never die.

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ "THANK YOU" ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥
Even though I`m gone, I`ll never forget,
the way you looked when we first met.
Your hand reached out, and stroked my
fur, our eyes glistened, fixed in a stare.
I knew from this moment, how life would be,
you were my companion, and yours, was me.
These memories are always in my head;
long walks, the games, my cosy bed.
Gentle words spoken, never a yell,
someone to listen, a secret to tell.
But, each year of mine was equal to seven.
I`ll be watching you now, from up here in heaven.
When rain drops fall, it`s my tears I cry,
Remembering your love, from my bed in the sky.
Whispering winds carry my promise to you,
For being my friend I will forever . . . "Thank You".
