Cassie came into my life in November 1996- a young puppy
that my son found and brought home. It was love at
first sight and she became my dog instead of his. The
love we shared only grew stronger thru the 9 years
I was blessed to have her. She taught me so
much about patience and unconditional love. I was not
ready to let her go, but then we never are, but felt it
was best for her to go and be whole once again. I
miss her more than I would have thought possible and it
was the hardest decision I have ever had to make, I
struggled for two days before I knew she was asking
me to let her go, once I made that decision she seemed
to understand and say thank you mom. I know
that she is waiting for me, whole happy and once
again with her canine friend Nacoma playing together
until one day their ears will perk up and they
will both come running to meet me and we will be
together again where we will never have to part.
Until then Cassie, my sweet baby girl, mommy
sends you kisses and hugs everyday! I
promise I won't be sad forever and will pass along all
the wonderful things your love has brought me.

The time has come I think you know
the Lord is calling so I must go
I love you so much; I wish it wasn't so
I wish I could stay; I don't want to go

You're the best family a dog ever had
so kind and gentle, never mean or mad
I'll never forget the day that we met
I was so lucky to become your pet

You opened your door and showed me your heart
I'll never forget you; we'll never part
You loved me and cared for me over the years
you taught me everything and took away my fears

The Lord is calling now I must go
but before I go I want you to know
I know it hurts to lose a friend
but I'll always be with you even to the end.

I gaze at your rainbow resting place and wish you peaceful dreams
I keep you near for in our dreams we touch again, floating on the stars
You are the face that is in my dreams as I call your name
Come to me my Cassie ease my heart and mind that you are near
To see you amongst the loves of my heart family, never alone
Dream glances of peaceful angels of the Rainbow.

I awaken from joyful dreams of seeing you standing strong
To gaze at your Rainbow resting place, Till we meet in our dreams
When the stars come out and guide me to you. I wish you good morning
My gentle girl. God holds you safe in the palm of his hand
Till my arms can hold you , never to let go.
Held in my heart, in dreams we will always touch.
Rainbow dance of reunion.

Till we cross together my Sweet Cassie.
