You all were so brave for Mo, dogs hate to see us cry, you let him go without him worrying why you were crying. Your poor boy losing his pal

Thanks Mini, i know it must bring back some raw feelings when you post in here.
My only regret is that I didn't get the chance to let him go at home in my arms, but i couldn't wake him up, just to do that for him could I? Not with the risks involved and the discomfort he would be in, my poor lad.
Thanks Min and husg to you as I know just reading this thread muust be painful for you. Thanks. Ax

I am so sorry to hear the news about the wonderful Mo
Tonight the stars in the sky will be twinkling so much brighter with Rainbow Bridge's new residents.
Sleep well Mo, enjoy yourself at the bridge with Cassie, Amy, Oscar and all the other Dogsey crew.

Take care of your self Ailsa,, you & your family have been so brave & caring in your love for Mo xxxx

Yep, its hard enougb losing him but to see my son lose him too...Mo worshipped my son from the moment i brought him home and always looked out for him. He told Biffters and the pups off if they got too silly around him bless him. He was a special boy our Mo.
I just knew he'd get upset if he saw me cry Toby, I couldn't do that to him not with the bravery he was showing.

thanks Nicky, that was a lovely post. ax

Oh NO Just logged on to see this very sad post So so sorry Ailsa, my heart goes out to you and your family - you must be totally devastated.
RIP Mo, you lovely boy xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Tracy. We are , but at least he isn't suffering. We are crying for us really aren't we, he's at peace now. xxx

Ailsa, honey...
I'm so sorry that you have lost your dear Mo, and Dogsey has lost another of it's precious old'uns.
You did what was right for him in the end, and he will be looking down on you and your son, pain free, and wagging that tail of his like crazy by way of a thank you.
Run free Mo, you dear old lad

Ailsa, I posted these two poems for Helen in Cassie's thread, and I would like to share them with you as well. I was sent them when I lost my first GSD Sharna, and I found comfort in the words. I hope you do too.

I AM NOT THERE

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

I STOOD BY YOUR BED

I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly
As you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times,
Your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you,
That I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house,
As you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired,
And sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know,
That I was stand there.

It's possible for me,
To be so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."

You sat there very quietly,
Then smiled, I think you knew…
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.

The day is over…
I smile and watch you yawning,
And say, "good-night, God Bless,
I'll see you in the morning."

An when the time is right for you,
To cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you,
And we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you,
There is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out…
Then come home to be with me.
