A round of apaws for Kili!

As you can see, my page was newly revamped by the lovely Kilimanjaro Hoover. You can find his badge on my page.

Mom became teary eyed when she saw what Kili had done with my page! I quickly swooped down and sat beside her until the tears were gone. Mom says it's a sweet and beautiful way to remember me. Kili, we could never thank you enough. It is beyond what we expected and could not ask for better. Bless you.

My woofday...

We know you always furget mom. My woofday is June 7th.

Thank you so much!

I recieved these words from the kindest pup ever! His name is Dickens

Hiya Murphy's Mommy,

I am part of the card shower group and saw your post that Gibbon made. We know just what you're going through missing your baby. Mommy lost one her doggies, Trixie, very unexpectedly almost 9 years ago and it really did a number on her. Trixie was 'the one' the most wonderful doggie in the world. Mommy swore she would never get another doggie as it's just too hard to have to say good-bye.

After many months of grieving, mommy still couldn't think of adopting another doggie, but she did miss being around dogs. She decided to volunteer for a no-kill rescue in her town so that she walk & play with the doggies. Eventually she decided to be a foster mom so that she could help dogies in need.

I was her 2nd ever foster doggie and TJ, my beloved best friend, was her 22nd foster doggie. Although mommy still misses Trixie every single day and still sheds a tear, as the years went by, it got easier to smile with her memory instead of crying. Murphy will never leave your heart, but I promise, it will get easier!

Mommy loves TJ and I to bits and pieces, but she knows that loving us does not diminish her love for Trixie. When the time is right for you to open your heart to another wonderful pup, you'll know it......

XOXOXXO,
Dickens

Regrets....

I just wanna hit myself in the head now like in the V8 commercials. I was thinking of the day we put you down. The last time you saw me, I was crying. The vet asked if we wanted her to take you in the back or let you stay in the room with us. We told her to bring you in the back because of the possibility of you yelping from the nerves in your body shutting down. I didn't want to hear it. I'd feel worse. Now I regret it. You didn't yelp, and I could've layed there with you. I wasn't the last person you saw, and you heard the noises of a vet office (barks, meows etc.) in your final breaths. I'm so sorry baby and I feel so guilty. I want to tell you that I love you and play fetch with you one more time. You loved that. I also want to tell you that those nights when I slept by your side were the best nights of my life. I don't think I've had a peacefull night of rest since. And if a fellow dogster has read the story all this way. God bless you and please Pmail me so I can let you know how you've impacted me. Until we meet again Baby boy, I love you. I can't tell you enough.

Thanksgiving without you, is like a giraffe with a short- neck...Unbelievable.....

ya sure, the title is cheesy, but It's true. No more food to "accidentaly" drop and hear your tounge against the tile. And especially since Grama's not here either. She would bring you the best doggie thanksgiving anyone could ever ask for. I miss you both so very much. The memories we had, the laughs we shared. I hope you both have a great thanksgiving up there. You, John, and Grama. We'll be thinking of you all and Love you.

Memories of you...

I miss you Murph. The way your eyes would light up when I pulled out the leash, The way you always knew what look to give to fit my mood. I remember on my 5th birthday, we all had lollipops and me and you would take turns licking mine. Some people said it was gross, I thought of it as Memories. I miss you baby boy, and I wish I could give you one more hug... your soft, warm body to comfort me. No more of that. I miss that alot. I'll see you again someday, but for now, I'll cry until I do.

Love you,
Mom

A Christmas without my baby....

The tree is all trimmed.
The gifts are all wrapped.
The hymns are all sung,
Ant the travel plans mapped.

And still there's a sadness
That lies in your heart,
For a dog that was lost
And a love now apart.

A stocking is missing,
With toys and a treat.
A lap is now empty,
A space at your feet.

Yet remember this season
God's small gift to you,
Wonderful memories
To treasure life through.

Poems of comforting words....

~The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this--the last battle--can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
Don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer, so.
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me til the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
it is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close--we two--these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.



~MY FOREVER PET

There's something missing in my home,

I feel it day and night,

I know it will take time and strength

before things feel quite right.

But just for now, I need to mourn,

My heart -- it needs to mend.

Though some may say, "It's just a pet,"

I know I've lost a friend.

You've brought such laughter to my home,

and richness to my days.

A constant friend through joy or loss

with gentle, loving ways.

Companion, friend, and confidante,

A friend I won't forget.

You'll live forever in my heart,

My sweet, forever pet.

~What do you do when a good friend dies?
Do you lash out in anger and curse at the sky.
Or grasp hard denial, the means of the weak,
In an effort to kindle the comfort you seek.

What do you do when a good friend dies?
Once life's breath, so precious, gives the chest final rise.
In haste you take blame, no other at fault,
You kneel upturned earth and deem all happiness to halt.

What do you do when a good friend dies?
When with him the times, both good and bad, lie.
Do you cast aside the past, for memories hurt much too much,
Or struggle and fight for that last lingering touch.

What do you do when a good friend dies?
When all of the tears have all but been cried.
No matter how much, no matter how hard you try,
The only thing to do is say farewell.
Goodbye.
