I have had my German Shepard for 12 years.
His name was Pup my grandson named him.
He was going great then one day he got sick and I called the vet right
away, and she had done tests and said that his kidneys were failing and that
there was nothing they could. She said that when he stops eating that is time.
.This is so hard. He passed 4/12/08. I was right by he side with his head on
my lap telling him how much I loved him and how sorry I was. I miss him so bad,
all I do is cry, I am so lost and so unhappy with out him. I have his ashes
here with me with his picture on the box. This is the hard thing to go through.
He was my life I was happy just Pup and me, He was always by my side. You would
never see me by myself. Pup was always with me. I try to keep busy but it
doesn't help. I loved him with all my heart. I would have done anything to make him
well. It was just Pup and me. He was the greatest dog and will be missed so
much. He was my best friend and faithful companion. Pup I miss you so much and I
love you, one day we will be together again. I think about you everyday and
all the time we were together.

To My German Shepard PUP.

I sit and try to write the words, I want your heart to hear.
Hoping to find some comfort, in the fact that your not here.
I look out into the yard, that you once occupied,
Knowing now that yard is empty, because my love, you've died.
I do believe with all my heart, that your soul has gone to be,
With all the other angel dogs, that you were meant to see.
We will have to stay behind, until God calls us too,
So do not be afraid, that he's only called for you.
And your bed is so empty, where your beautiful head laid.
Our bed is to empty, where you once laid between,
the one people who LOVED you and now only dream,
That one day our eyes will shut one last time,
and you will come greet us, angel of mine.
Until then, I'll keep trying to see through my tears,
with memories you left us, to reflect through the years.
We'll never forget one minute we spent,
of loving and laughing, of places we went.
And I dread the day that your scent disappears,
for it's "proof" to me, PUP, that you were just here!
But one day will come, when we'll start to see through,
the pain of the moment, and remember just "you".
Now you go and play, and look down when you can,
remembering we love you, and this isn't the end.
Pat Butler, Mommy.

"A Million Times I Will Miss You".....

They say memories are golden;
well, maybe that is true.

I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

A million times I will miss you,
a million times I will cry.

If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place
no pup could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone.

For part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.

Your precious memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.

God has you safe in His keeping,
but I'll have you forever in my heart.

If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,

I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
