MEG Aug 19th 1983 - Nov 23rd 2006

We took a slow walk,to the last place you would go,
You, Me Dad...my heart was breaking but I tried not to let it show,
Arik's eyes met mine, but he didn't have to ask ''why''
I was fighting back the tears...please don't make me cry.

I sat on the floor and whispered how much you meant to me,
I asked you to forgive me, but I had to set you free,
Free from all the problems that Old Age brings,
Free from all those ''no quality of life'' things.

I talked to you about happier times and your younger days,
When you ran across fields, till you were a blur in the haze.
Those times we had together, we were never apart,
Now it was time for you to leave me and it broke my heart.

Arik knelt down and told you to go to sleep,
Bye Bye my precious, in my heart ''you'' I will always keep.
You slid down and I could feel you go,
How long I kept you in my arms, I will never know.

I felt I had let you down, I felt full of guilt,
As I rocked you gently, my tears spilt.
Your Dad and Arik stood quietly with tear stained faces,
I remember wishing you and I could change places.

As your Dad lifted your limp body he held you close,
We had lost the one thing that meant the most,
We buried you in the garden near the Orange Tree,
Reah and I sat by your grave and I told you to Run Free.

It's been two long years and the pain is still here,
My heart still aches, for my girl, so dear,
Never a day goes by without us mentioning your name,
Never a day goes by without us saying ''It's not the same''.

Never a moment goes by when we don't think of you,
Of all the funny things you used to do.
Wait for me Angel by Rainbow Bridge, until the day,
When you see me waving to you and once more we play,
And I will take you my darling in my arms once again,
Then and only then will I be released from my pain.

Sleep tight my darling girl xxx

A beautiful tribute to a very special girl who made your life better having her in it xxx

Wow !

What a fab tribute.

Reading it certainly revives a few familar feelings with me and my past dogs.

I had to look twice - 23 years ?!?!

She certainly had the best of lives and was well loved.

Thank you guys....today is a very sad one here I'm afraid.
Yes Phil 23, I hand reared her from 2 days old.....she was really apart of me.

Oh how sad stephanie, you've got me in tears here, what a wonderful life she must have had with you, and I know you must still miss her so much. xxx

Oh Steph you have got me in tears It is so sad when we loose a pet that we have loved for such a long time. I know how you feel hun.
What you have to remember is that you gave your Meg a good and loving home, she had a wonderful life with you and Reah. Remember the good times and cherish her memory.
If Meg could come back and talk to you I am sure she would say, Thankyou Mum. For all the times we shared together, for all the cuddles and walks. For all the times when we just sat quietly together.
I know in my heart that Meg is with you hun. Sit quieltly some time today and you will feel her there with you. Smile and say hello sweetheart.
The love of a dog surpasses all things. They give their love unconditionally. I'm sure she knows how much you loved her and she can feel your pain.
You will see her again one day (not too soon).
She is young and fit again now running free with all her doggie friends.
Remember the good times and smile By doing so you will make her happy.
Love Elaine xx
