R.I.P. YUPPIE, MY SUNSHINE

In Memory of my darling old gentleman, American Champion Beau Cheval Yuppie Mums, ("Yuppie") Nov.07/89 - Feb 02/06) I miss him every day.

To Mum From Your Sunshine
(author unknown)

Before I grow too frail and weak,
And all that's left is peace in sleep,
I know you'll do what must be done
To end this fight that can't be won.

I don't fear death as humans do,
So let me try to comfort you.
Come, let us take a quiet stroll
And share some quietness soul to soul.

No need for words 'twixt you and I,
No need to say a last good-bye.
We've grown so close in mind and heart,
It seems so cruel that we must part.

Be sure I sense the pain you'll feel
Without me walking at your heel.
The days will feel full of despair -
Your "Sunshine" simply won't be there.

In time the pain will slowly wane,
You'll think of me and smile again;
You'll speak with love and pride of me,
Your extra special puppy.

Now take me where my needs they'll tend,
And stay there with me till the end;
Hold me close with soft goodbyes
'Till life's bright light has left my eyes.

The final sound I need to hear
Is your soft voice upon my ear.
Your loving face will fade and dim
As the rush of heaven closes in.

I love this poem so much. it makes me want to cry. i have never lost a friend. but when i read your poem, i know how you felt. i know i never lost a friend, but i have lost someone special.it maybe hard to lose someone that is special to you, but at least you still have them in your heart everyday.But there comes a time were you have to let them go. Because you can't forget about your other friends, but remeber this, if you do forget them, remember to always love them even if your not there or if you don't remember them.Even if they made you mad sometimes, always forgive them because they don't know any better.and when you think of them, they will always think of you. And one day, just one day, i know you will be with them someday. I promise you. They will never let go of you. my friend. he will ALWAYS love you and forgive. forevr and ever until you meet again.

That poem made me think of my dog Tia she was an American Cocker Spaniel and she passed away 11 years ago just before Christmas. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I miss her very much she was more like a child to me than she was a dog.
She was poisoned by onions. I didn't know that they could hurt her and I used to make her a special diet of lamb and rice and I put onions in it and she got so sick.
