Some comforting words
I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me.He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he 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 crowd life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stayBut should you call him 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
In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve.When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Pup and love him all his life.Author Unknown

"May I go now?"
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless pain filled nights?
I didn't want to go at first I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I promise that I'll not be far and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close where ever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me
You know I loved you too.
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say,
Because you care so much for me you'll let me go today.
"That rainbow bridge is a special place!"

THE RETIRED SHOW DOG
He sits to the side, out of the way
While others beg head rubs,
or force you to play.
His dark liquid eyes watch your every move
Hoping and waiting, his love to prove.
He was shown many times, a promising pup
And he just got better as he grew up.
A picture of health, robust and strong,
His gait and topline, never went wrong.
But his prime has passed,
and he seems to know,
That he'll never again be put in a show.
He eats, he sleeps,
not much more than that,
And maybe he's getting a little too fat.
He loves to be brushed,
When you have the time,
He waits for his turn at the end of the line.
You think of him, sure, but not nearly as much
As those promising pups,
that new Special and such.
So he sits and he waits,
til you have the time,
To make the same fuss
as you did in his prime.
A scrap of affection,
or playful shove,
To him it means everything,
to him it means LOVE!
Quote from US Senator Vest in 1870 when he was addressing the jury
in a court
case in defence of a dog. This is part of his impassioned plea:
"The one absolutely unselfish friend a man can have in this selfish
world, the
one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous
is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty,
in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the ground, where the wintry winds
blow and
the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be at his master's side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the
wounds and
sores that come from the encounter with the roughness of the world.
He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all
other friends
desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to
pieces, he
is a constant in his love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens".
