Your Pet Loss Poems

After a very long day yesterday with some medical help I finally got to go to sleep.. forever. You were by my side like always loving and comforting me.

Today you laid my tired body to rest alongside our feline friend. I want to thank you for sending me to the fanciest best kennel I've ever imagined.

I run and play in the tall grass, digging is always allowed. God loves us and feeds us the best kibble I've ever tried three times a day.

I chase sticks into the flowing water, I bark loudly all I want when I want. There are no fleas here but many dogs enjoy making all kinds of annoying dog sounds while licking themselves.

God says it's okay to bark at the mailman as long as it's in good fun. I nap on the furniture and eat my messy bone and look out a very enormous window.

I love you and I'm sorry Mom but I don't miss "home", I'm okay and I'm not alone. I loved my home, my Mommy made everyday new and special but this place Heaven better suits me now.

It's very strange not having a job of protecting and that's nice, my only worry is for my Mommy back at home. You did an incredibly wonderful job taking care of me, everyone agrees. We had so much fun playing this and that.

Please don't be sad or feel bad, I asked God to give you a dog better or as good as Me. I know all your expressions "mad, sad, angry, glad", and each individual memory of one makes me smile and laugh out loud.

When God asked for help to make you happy and whole, so many k9 souls volunteered for the rescue. I approvingly have met this chosen angel Shepherd sent to rescue my loving Mom. I gave instructions that lead to you, to follow my footprints in the clouds.

I love you Mommy and I will be pacing the pearly gates waiting to greet you with wet kisses when I hear you're on your way, until then have a Happy Journey!
