this is a very nice poem which my wonderful owner Dawn wrote about me after i had went to the Rainbow Bridge -

Tanya

There once was a dog of strength, bravery and playfulness…

She had a cold wet nose, a chocolate brown fluffy coat and a long waggy tail.

When I was born she was nearly a year old and was excited about my arrival.
Slowly as I grew, this fluffy wonder taught me the aspects of life and guarded my every move.

She was a guardian angel and a best friend, so much more than just a dog.
There was not a single bad hair on her body.
She was my world and that world fell apart when I heard she had cancer in her leg bone.
I thought I would lose my baby…
Luckily there was a way to save her - amputate her leg.

In March, Tanya became 1 leg less but it didn’t affect her - She was a fighter.
She was still my wonderful, friendly guardian angel even with only 3 legs!

She walked this world for only 5 more months before the dreaded cancer struck again in her lungs and took my love away.
With a lick to the hand and a quiet whimper, she left our world after 15 years of devoted loyalty & never-ending friendship.

I know she is still watching over me, my darling Tanya, and is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
Her youth restored and playing happily with her doggie friends until I meet her there.
Then we will cross the Rainbow Bridge to our final resting place, together again forever.
