We Miss Our Darling Boy Burgoo

We Visited You Today Baby

Hello Baby Boo! We visited you today! Daddy and PeeWee and Mommy went to Utica and we stopped in the park where we spread some of your ashes. PeeWee really wanted to go into the nice green water of the canal covered in duckweed (eeew). The herd garden they planted where Daddy put some of your ashes is thriving. We thought about you lots.

You have made lots of wonderful new friends Burgoo, like Mica and Duchess and the others. Duchess's mommy made you a picture with angel wings for you but Mommy has not been able to upload it. We will keep trying.

You be good and have lots of fun with all your friends at the Bridge. We still adore you and miss you terribly. I am sorry I still cry sometimes but I miss you so much, even with PeeWee.

Take good care of your sisters, Zana, & Sweetie.....and your silly brother Buddy.

puppy kisses for my puppy!
Mommy

Allow These Poems To Speak My Heart.....Missing Burgoo 1- Year Later

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I’d lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many “sits” and “downs” to do
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
Remember how I’d nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I’d “bark and hold”.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I’d wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven’s gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, “This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days’s the same day,
There’s no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn’t do.
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you’re free;
So won’t you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there, in your heart.
Cry Not For Me
Author Unknown


Cry not for me,
These tears you weep,
When you find only cold
when it's warmth you seek.
Remember me not as you saw me last.

And know that I know you cared
Think not of my last breath
But the moments that we shared.

Think of the wind, the clouds, and the rain
When you rested your head on mine
And in that lovely moment
It was as if the sun did shine.

I remember your soft words
And always your love
I know you are crying.
I can see from above.

These tears that you waste for me,
The tears you oft try and hide.
Don't think that I'm not there.
It's you I'm inside.

Please don't cry for me,
Please don't cry again,
It's you I should cry for,
For I know you feel pain.

And don't think you failed me,
I know how you tried.
And I know you felt.
When at first you cried.

My empty spot is painful,
It's easy to see.
There is nothing there
When it's where I should be.

Think of those times...those happy days.
Not where I last lay
Remeber when it was just you and I ?
Oh the games that we played.

Remeber me in my vigor and youth
Painfree and with no care.
The only thing I worry about
is with who will your love share.

I am away but I'm never gone.
And you have so much love to give.
I know that you gave your best to me
But there are more that still live.

It is in your mind,
That my ghost memories may run free
And know in your heart,
forever I'll be.

Mommy, Please Don't Cry!

Mommy, please don’t cry I am here, quite close by Although my shell has gone from you My spirit abides right here– its true!

Mommy, I am no longer sick or old I have gone to where its never cold I play and romp with furry friends Its always happy– that never ends!

I know you miss me– I miss you too I wish that I could comfort you I’ve tried to let you know I’m here When I see you shed yet another tear

Listen for me with your heart dear Mom For in your heart I am always home And one day, when the time is right We’ll be together at Rainbow Bridge bright.

Until that day remember this Each day with you was spent in bliss We loved each other through thick and thin We played, we walked, you scratched my chin

There wasn’t anything more to do I always knew your love was true So please try not to grieve so much Your love was felt with every touch.
