So sorry to hear of Toby's passing. Run free
ABSENT FRIENDS
To all those dogs who have long since gone,
You have never been forgotten although your soul has moved on,
Now at peace in a place with no pain,
Allowed to roam free on lifes open plain,
No aching joints, no bruises, no scars,
No restriction from movement, no cages, no bars,
No more screams for you to run faster,
As now you only take orders from the one Lord and Master.....
With his guiding hand he will lead you the way,
And once over that bridge in his care you will stay.
THINK OF ME
Running fast running free,
That's how I would wish you remember me,
I may have passed but certainly not gone,
As thoughts of much happier times in your mind linger on,
Days full of sunshine when we played until we dropped,
Or tearing up the house on the days the rain refused to stop,
From the cuddles on the sofa when you were feeling down,
To all the adoration I gained when you walked me round the town,
With you I had a joyful life and found so many friends,
Many of whom you'll turn to now until your poor heart mends,
You will laugh you will cry that is the nature of the beast,
But please don't mourn for too long for now I am at peace...
For all the hounds loved and lost.......S CROMPTON
