Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

Oh, Sowelu, my heart aches for you. Last year I lost my kitty Ginger who'd been with me for 17 years. I still miss her.

Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

(((((Thank you, Falvion))))) I know... it's so hard. sad I'm glad Ginger had a long life with you, but it's always so tough when they leave. I keep finding myself expecting to see Soph when I go downstairs, and I've caught myself waiting for her to follow me out the door when I go out back for a smoke... *sigh*

Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

Oh no...oh Sowelu, I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know nothing but time and tears can ease your heartache but I hope this helps at least a little.

LAST NIGHT
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 reassure 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 standing 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".
And 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.

You know, Bratt Dog visits me in my dreams from time to time.  It took a little while for him to come at first but every now and again he stops by and it's so very good to see him.  I'm sure when Sophie's ready she'll come and see you, too.  (((hugs)))

Fare Thee Well

Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

((((Sowelu))))  sorry to hear of Sophie's passing as I looked through the thread I saw her picture and thought yes, that is a cat like dog!  I too believe they stay with us and that connection is beyond time.    Lilmomma, thank you too for that beautiful poem reminded me of an old furred friend.

Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

Thank you so much (((lilmomma, SiriArca and Vajra))). Beautiful, caring energy here, feels just like Sophie energy. Don't you love how our pet friends evoke a softening and sweetness, a natural heart connection? Thanks again, everyone.

Re: Post a picture of your pet/s

this is our little penelope...she's a little over a year old.
i have never had a furry pet before.  i cannot begin to explain how much more fun and rich my life has become since this little darling beast has come along.  my wife is a little annoyed that she seems to be more affectionate to me than her, seeing as she fancies her self as a cat person having had cats since she was young.  i just spend more time with her, that's all it is; especially when we first got her, i was home with her all day.

she's so sweet and dainty.  she's our little girl.  and especially since nikki's miscarriage, she has been even more welcome.  i could not have imagined coming home from the hospital to an empty apartment.

what a pretty puppy. 
sorry to hear that she has passed on.  but who knows, maybe she's yet returned, maybe as a cat and is living happily with another family.
and so on and so on.

nikki sometimes thinks that penelope is her cat reincarnated...maybe.
