To My Staffordshire Mate “Zeppelin”
I WONT FORGET......
I won’t forget how I had wanted a pet for a while, and there you were with your big smile.
I won’t forget the day we met you, would become my no:1 pet.
I won’t forget the day you came into my life, Peter knew he had lost part of his wife.
I won’t forget my tears of joy, now that I have a special Staffordshire Boy.
I wont forget how well behaved you are, even when you are near or far.
I won’t forget my big smile, because I was sitting there with you a while.
I won’t forget our 1st walk, and your special style of talk.
I won’t forget how you rolled in the grass, and how I watched through the window glass.
I won’t forget our plays with sticks, or you chewing on bricks.
I won’t forget the smile you put on the kids faces, when they came home from other places.
I wont forget how much you loved being in the car, even when we didn’t drive far.
I won’t forget how friendly you would greet, all the people you would meet.
I wont forget when we drove Jazz & Lily to school, all the other kids thought you were so cool.
I won’t forget how you hated the swimming pool, even though it would have kept you cool.
I won’t forget how others wanted to steal you for their own,
I would reply “over my dead body” Zeppelin’s already got a loving home.
I won’t forget how you loved the hose, or even your proud Staffordshire pose.
I won’t forget when you ran your older body wiggled, we all just giggled.
I won’t forget your loving cuddles, or you lying in the puddles.
I won’t forget your snoring, on the rainy days when it was boring.
I won’t forget your happy plays, on warm sunny days.
I won’t forget in your bed was my shoe, I guess you wanted me to be near you.
I won’t forget how scared you were of thunder, or the table you hid under.
I won’t forget how you loved the shower, and how you would shake of the water with all your power.
I won’t forget your strength and stubbornness, or when you were sick or in distress.
I won’t forget your love for us, to you it wasn’t any fuss.
I won’t forget the Vets sad news you were very sick, I am glad your no longer in pain, you went so quick.
I won’t forget on my lap I felt your last heart beat, but I know sometime again we will meet.
I won’t forget the day you died, and how long I cried.
I won’t forget my prayers to God, for my much loved Dog.
I won’t forget the day the big boy’s came around, to help put your body in the ground.
I won’t forget the big boy’s tears, or all of our happy years.
I won’t forget other people’s sympathy, now you’re not with me.
I won’t forget to keep you in my heart, that way were never apart.
I won’t forget you “Zeppelin” my Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or how you made me merrier.
I won’t forget how much i love you, or how much you loved me too.
In Loving Memory of “ Zeppelin”
November 1995 - 10th August 2007.
Love for eternity mate...Mum.
The love held in your heart
Captivates me from the start
Holding you in my arms
You lick my face with all your charm
Watching you as days go by
You quickly grow, I wonder why
That you are given so little time
To live on earth and be all mine
Years pass by, you run and play
I know one day you cannot stay
For time takes a lasting toll
One day you’ll have a new role
To leave the world and be set free
I know you will be watching me
With a saddened heart I will go on
Because of you I can sing a song
The day has come to say goodbye
Holding you, I start to cry
Memories come rushing in
Of how you’ve been my best friend
Losing you, I will go on
You worry that I’m not that strong
Because of you my life was blessed
And filled with so much happiness
Thank you, my 4 legged friend
In due time my heart will mend
A part of me, you’ll always be
My friend for all eternity

Letting Go
With tearful eyes, I watched you suffer
And saw you fading away.
You saw my pain and wanted to stay,
But you were getting so tired trying to remain.
And although I loved you dearly,
I just could not make you stay.
For a cure for you was not to be.
As weak and frail as you were,
You lifted your head one last time and
Said to me “Mommy it’s time, set me free”
And you laid your head back down.
I held you and told you I loved you
As The Lord put his arms around you
And whispered, “Come with me
For your journey to the Rainbow Bridge
Is now underway.”
I watch you take your last breathe
As you glided away from this Earth.
For another star was created as you
Entered your new life.
A life of no worries of every going
hungry or being ill again.
You have crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge
Till we meet again my heart will weep.

Into Spirit
I see you grieve,
I feel you grieve
But I am with you.
And will stay, til you laugh
When remembering the fun
We had in all those years.
Thank you for the courage to let me go,
No more weary, no more pain,
I am with you, you will feel me
My cold nose, my waving tail.
You will see my smiling mouth and shining fur,
You will hear my happy voice.
I can run now, I can play now
With all my family and my friends.
But I will love you and I will watch you
Til we meet again.
A Woodland Place
A woodland place full of dreams,
A mossed bank and bluebells,
Grey ashes floating down
Sinking into browned rich earth,
Spirit soft bodies,
Happy eyes waving tails
Cold noses pressed into our hands
There and all around, easing grief,
In soft warm, warm spring air.

Dreams ~
Please don't think you are alone
because I've left your sight,
for I proudly sit atop a cloud
and visit you each night.
The angel paws upon your skin,
and the nudge within your palm
are really me inside your dreams
the quiet hours before dawn.
Please know I'm waiting for you,
but until your time arrives
I'll be the touch and comforting
the dreams that fill your mind.
~ Terri Onorato
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

"Paw Prints In The Sand"
By Phyllis Ann Min
With my pal gone
My side is bare
Just looking down
She is not there.
A heavy heart,
A saddened soul
A weight of passage
Tears untold.
Now all alone
I feel the space
Where oft my friend
Would lick my face.
Yet life goes on.
God’s outstretched hand
Sends hope through paw prints
In the sand.
I can't believe you're gone. Why did you have to leave me?
I will miss everything about you: your sweet personality.
I have nothing but pictures and memories and
that is not enough to fill the empty spot in my heart.
I love you with all of my heart and
I'll always remember the good times we had together.
I may cry and be sad, but for knowing you, I'll always be glad.
I know you'll be with me someday, in another time.
But right now you're gone but you will always be here in my heart.
I will miss you!!!!!
I will see you again in heaven,

Since you have gone the sun has left the sky,
No breezes blow,
No birds sing
To ease the aching vacuum in my heart.
I shall not forget your gentle ways;
No judgements made,
No difficult demands,
No needs save one,
To share your life with mine.
Now kind, uncomprehending people say,
"Cheer up, you'll love another pet some day."
--Hilda Lunn
ZEPPELIN
Take me to the bridge
Where the fresh clear waters flow
Take me to the sunshine
Show me the virgin snow
Take me to a new place
Where I can feel no pain
My body be renewed, reborn
My spirit whole again
You have loved me endlessly
And I have loved you so
You gave me more than I could ask
It breaks my heart to go
But it's time for me to leave your side
Time for my spirit to soar
For this moment I have waited all my life
Freedom for evermore
Please don't be sad, don't weep for me
I have found so many friends
Take comfort in my angel's wings
May they help your broken heart mend
I love you so, I always have
You know I always will
I miss you too, our life, our love
But I'll be waiting still
I'll be here when you come to join me
I'll wait through all the years
But please don't rush... take time, enjoy,
Don't live your life in tears.
I can't come down to lick them dry
The way I used to do
So weep no more, and smile for me
For I'm smiling down on you.
I thank you from my furry soul
for what you have done for me
You helped me cross an ancient bridge
And I made it across safely.
I was welcomed by so many friends
Who knew my name and yours
They'd heard us mentioned in so many prayers
And ran to meet me at the door.
I want to tell you of these new wonders
But I don't want to spoil the surprise
So go in peace, in love, and in warmth,
Till we see each others eyes.
Goodbye dear friend, but not forever,
Just for a little while
Be strong for me and for the others
...And don't forget that smile!!!

THERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT...♥
by Sarah Hartwell
There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the
spirits of those who have died.♥ They have shed their earthly bodies and
exchanged them for bodies made of light;♥ thousands upon thousands of our
dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky.♥ There is
another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.♥
My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe.♥ While I burn
on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing,♥ the stars are
watching me.♥ They are too far away for me to touch,♥ just as you have
gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes.♥ They
cannot be held close for comfort,♥ just as I can no longer hold you
close,♥ though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours.♥ We
were together for such a short time,♥ but the stars will burn forever.♥
One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body,♥ my own star-time will
come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends
who have gone before me.♥ On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited
in constellations of joy.♥ Until then, my flame burns low and dim and
cold without you.♥ Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?♥
There is a new star shining in the sky tonight.♥
