[collies r best]

thinking of you

[suzeanna]

I'll be thinking of you at 2.50. He'll drift gently away, secure in your love

[eve]

So sorry Billy.

[Anne Grose]

Thinking of you and Mal today. This is the hardest thing we can do for our loved ones. All our love and best wishes

[greys mum]

we're giving him a sedative at home and have him fall asleep before taking him to the vet at 2.50

 

Oh Billy, I am so, so very sorry. The love you have for Mal shines through in every post.

 

 

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me - Author Unknown

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 day’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.

 

Thinking of you.

Malcolm seems so very tired. I just about got some cv247 in him and a tiny bit of liver, but that was it. He doesn't want to go out and he seems so very tired right now. I've asked Vashti to do a reading for Mal and I think he's told me that it is time to let go. I don't think he wants me to fight anymore, to think positive and hoping that he'll pull through. I'm in bits and devastated, but if Mal doesn't want to carry on then it's not fair to try and force him to. :mecry: :wub:

Billy I'm so so sorry to read your posts today. Obviously we've never met & I can only imagine how you might be feeling right now but as I read through your posts, remembered my own experiences with Joyce & there were quite literally tears in my own eyes.

 

To be honest Pam asked me whether you'd liked the ramp & I was telling her that I wasn't even sure you'd have got it yet as Mal had been ill you'd been told "months" but not how many although I personally suspected he probably only had a couple of months to live at best. Although you're posts aren't therefore entirely a surprise there's obviously never a good or comfortable time for you to say goodbye to those you love.

 

I hope that you can however at least take a little comfort from the knowledge that everyone here has - noone could possibly have fought harder for Mal & when he does leave for the bridge today there is no doubt that he will do so knowing that he has been truly loved.

 

My thoughts are with you both this afternoon

Billy we're all thinking about you here - I know how much you love your boy and how devasted you must be right now :GroupHug:

 

You've done everything you could possibly have done to allow him as much time as possible and I think you're an inspiration to us all :GroupHug:

You're giving me a special gift,

So sorrowfully endowed,

And through these last few cherished days,

Your courage makes me proud.

But really, love is knowing

When your best friend is in pain,

And understanding earthly acts

Will only be in vain.

So looking deep into your eyes,

Beyond, into your soul,

I see in you the magic, that will

Once more make me whole.

The strength that you possess,

Is why I look to you today,

To do this thing that must be done,

For it's the only way.

That strength is why I've followed you,

And chose you as my friend,

And why I've loved you all these years...

My partner 'til the end.

Please, understand just what this gift,

You're giving, means to me,

It gives me back the strength I've lost,

And all my dignity.

You take a stand on my behalf,

For that is what friends do.

And know that what you do is right,

For I believe it too.

So one last time, I breathe your scent,

And through your hand I feel,

The courage that's within you,

To now grant me this appeal.

Cut the leash that holds me here,

Dear friend, and let me run,

Once more a strong and steady dog,

My pain and struggle done.

And don't despair my passing,

For I won't be far away,

Forever here, within your heart,

And memory I'll always stay.

I'll be there watching over you,

Your ever faithful friend,

And in your memories I'll run,

...a young dog once again.
