I loved your poem. I lost my chow chow about 2 years ago and I think of her every day. Even though friends and family members weren't to thrilled with her, I just loved her to death. Good times and bad she was always there for me. She wasn't much of a lover type dog, but she knew when I was down and would stay by me to give me comfort. I have lost other dogs over the years and I feel that they are all waiting for me beyond the Rainbow Bridge to greet me. I see them playing and having a good time. Again, what a beautiful poem.

I just love your poem. I too lost my dog, Sabrina, I had her all her life, 13 years, and I had to make the decision as well. It was with out a doubt the hardest, most heart breaking thing I ever had to do. And then, living with it afterwards, with the initial "what have I done?" on through to finally being able to look at her picture again. They touch our hearts in a way that no human ever could. Your poem is absolutely beautiful and expresses the emotions of the loss so well. Thanks so much for sharing.

A Poem for my Golden Retriever Brandi

Hi all my brandi passed away on June 12th 2006 from Lymphoma cancer and we did all we could for her. spent over 15,000.00 in just 8 months, but at least I got 8 extra months with her. Brandi was my favorite of all my goldens and I miss her so much. I wrote this poem for her on her 6 month mark. It is 1 of 3 I have written for her and I think this one is special because now I can move on and know she will always be with me. I will post what happened to me after she passed away and how she came to me and lead me to 2 new goldens I have now adopted throught the shelter. It doesn't surprise me she would do this for me.

My 3rd poem to Brandi called

Soft whisper

My best friend spoke to me last night

a soft whisper in my ear.

I woke up and looked around the room,

I was startled, yet I had no fear.

My best friend said that all is fine

Rainbow bridge is so much more.

That there was so much love up there,

even a beautiful ocean shore.

There is fields and fields of green green grass

and the sky has different shades of blue.

There are flowers, mountains, trees and clouds,

everything they said it was, is true.

My best friend whispered in my ear last night

saying "Please don't cry or be sad.

That what was done, had to be done,

for me to live my life now, so be glad".

My best friend said that I did the right thing

an unselfish act on my part.

And that this pain & sadness I feel

will be gone soon from my heart.

I asked my best friend "How could this be

I miss you so much everyday.

That my heart hurts so much for you,

I wish there could of been another way".

My best friend whispered in my ear last night

"You will always be in my heart.

Go on & live and love another,

because we will never really be apart".

My best friend whispered in my ear last night

"it's time for me to go towards the light.

I just wanted to stop & say to you

go on my best friend, I'll be alright.

I carry your unconditional love with me

I have done this from the very start".

I whispered back to my best friend last night,

"I'll always love you with all my heart."

So good-bye my best friend as I looked up at the sky

a shooting star I see in a straight line.

Moving fast across the sky & out of sight,

I whispered,

"Good -bye my best friend, now, I'll be fine".
