04/23/2015 Well my beautiful Z it been 3 years, and it still seams so unreal, you became sick so fast and within a couple of weeks no more could be done; your little Zack was just diagnosis with diabetes, exactly 3 years to the time when you became sick. I have to give him 2 injections a day and well he screeches, I even have to muzzle him; it very hard and I am scared I do not want to lose another baby he only 5. I love you girl there will never be another you! "my Zianna". Love mommy

My sweet girl I so miss you, some days the feelings of lost are so strong I love you my Z

Excerpt from an adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's "The Last Will and Testament of Silverdane Emblem O'Neill" .......

"...I ask my Mistress to remember me, always, but not to grieve for me too long. In my life I have tried to be a comfort to her in time of sorrow and an added joy in her life's happiness. It is painful for me to think that even in death I shall cause her pain. Let her remember that, while no dog ever had a happier life, I have now grown ill and pained. I should not want my pride to sink to bewildered humiliation. It is time for me to say 'Good-bye.' It will be a sorrow to leave her, but not a sorrow to die. Dogs do not fear death, as men do. We accept it as a part of life, not as something alien and terrible that destroys life. What will become of me after death? I would like to believe I will be in a place where one is always young. Where I will someday be joined by companions I've known in life. Where I will romp in lovely fields with those who have gone before me. Where every hour is mealtime. Where in long evenings there are fireplaces with logs forever burning and one curls oneself up and remembers the brave old days on earth and the love of one's Mistress. This is much to expect, but peace, at least, is certain...and a long rest for these weakened limbs...and eternal sleep which is, perhaps, the best......"

Big Boy Kitty Mommy (Annette) shared this with me and it touch my heart in so many ways that I just want to share.

2 Corinthians 4:18
" While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not Seen.
For the things which are seen are temporary. But the things which are not seen, are Eternal"

I am thinking that this may mean, this Earth/this world we live on, is temporary.
And all the joys and grief and good times, and bad times- that affect us and touch us, both good and bad- it is temporary.

But Heaven is permanent
And the Heavenly Joys and Love of GOD, and our Beloved lost Pets and Lost family and friends- they all await us and is Eternal and forever!

The Broken Chain:
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went wih you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.

(Zianna I found this poem you were a true gift to me from God. Love Mommy xo)
I will lend to you for a while, a Doberman pup, God said
For you to love her while she lives and mourn her when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'till I call her back, take care of her for me?
she'll bring her charms to gladden you, and should her stay be brief,
You'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowds life's land, I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Dobie back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done",
For all the joys this Dobe will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we have known, forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back much sooner than we've planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve,
The memory of her and her love, will help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife
We'll have yet another Doberman and love her all her life.

I Haven't Left At All

i saw you gently weeping as you looked through photographs
you paused for just a moment at one that made you laugh;
but as you turned more pages the tears began to flow
you whispered that you missed me but I want you to know;
i softly licked those stinging tears that down your cheeks did fall
i want to help you understand I haven't left at all.

on those days that you are overcome with sorrow, pain and grief
i rest my head upon your leg to offer some relief.
when you take our walking path I've seen you turn around
because I know you surely heard my paws upon the ground.

At night while you are sleeping I snuggle at your side
you stroke my fur as you touch that place where I used to lie.
you said it's just your heart playing tricks upon your mind
but rest assured I'm really there, my spirit's left behind.

I know your heart is hurting; it's like an open sore
you think my life has ended and you won't see me anymore.
But for those of us bound tight by love, death is not the curtain call;
it's really the eternal beginning that waits for us all
so, dear Master as you live your life I patiently await
for us to be together when you pass through Heaven's gate
