Poem For a Pet Owner That Has Lost Their Pet - Put Me To Rest

One of our kids Post By ML (Guest Post) (06/30/2008) I write this quick note with the heaviest of hearts, as we had to let our beloved Freddy go yesterday. He was so young, only 3 1/2 years old. My wife and I, along with our three teenage kids were faced with making what seems like, the worst decision in our lives... I am so proud of my kids, and their selflessness in making the right choice for Freddy, not for themselves. I know that we will get past this, we are a tight nit family, but boy it sure hurts like heck!

(Guest Post) (04/25/2008) I just picked up the ashes of my four legged best friend yesterday and it destroyed me all over again. I had him for 13 years and he was my heart. I don't feel like I will ever be o.k. again but it's nice to read that I am not alone. That there are others out there who have had or are having these same feelings. My heart goes out to you all.

I am sending a sympathy card today to the man who lost his pet, and the poem will be included. I have been told that he can't stop crying, and I fully understand that. My poor dog is 14 1/2 years old and arthritic, and I can see his health declining, althought he still "demands" his daily walks, and is a happy dog. I am giving him the Hartz advanced vitamins now, so will see how that helps. The vet said he has lived this long becasuse we have given him lots of love and good nutrition. I think I may have mentioned that before, so please excuse me if I have. I have a confession here....I have given him a lot of table scraps, with no bones of course. I have cooked for him often too. I bought chicken on sale, and that is his favorite. I will post a picture later. I wish all of you a very happy day, and my heartfelt thanks to everyone!!

I have tried always to comfort you in times of sorrow, and have made every effort to add joy to your life. I never wanted to cause you pain. Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have eternal sleep in the earth I have loved so well. Please, after your period of grieving for me, make room in your heart for another. You are the kind of human being that should always have a friend like me to love. Your kind and gentle heart should not be wasted on my memory for too long. Give your love to another. I know your new friend will never take my place, because we had something very special. It may not be quite the same, but a new devoted and loving companion will in time, become special in their own way. You loved me very much and I loved you. My spirit will always be with you, and no matter how deep my sleep, my grateful heart will always remember you."

(91) | (05/02/2005) Profile | Contact Dear Kentucky-lass, love that poem; here's a story that might also help with the heartbreak of losing a pet: THE RAINBOW BRIDGE There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. --author unknown Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poem For a Pet Owner That Has Lost Their Pet - Put Me To Rest Post by Kentucky-lass (50) | (05/02/2005) Profile | Contact Thank you so much for posting the URL, and the poem.
