MauCarden Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 This poem by W.H. Auden expresses grief better than anything I've ever read. Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the airplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message She is Dead Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffice policeman wear black cotton gloves. She was my NOrth, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. Thed stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun: Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. Quote Missing my sweet girl Scout. My snuggler, my chow-hound, my kissy girl. It never thunders at the Bridge, and your food bowl is ALWAYS filled. So strange not living in Atty World. I was a love struck handmaiden to your every whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdogs Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I am so, so very sorry for your loss. Skittle was a beautiful girl who deserved every bit of love you gave her. She had a full happy life because of you & that is no small accomplishment. Rest easy, sweet Skittle and send some fruitbat fairy dust down to Devon & Amber.

retiredracers Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Oh, no. I am so sorry. I lost my Crooked girl last June and I felt like I failed her, too. But I didn't and you didn't fail Skittles, either. She knows how much you loved her and that is what mattered the most to her. Please don't beat yourself up. You helped make her the dog that she grew up to be and you should be proud of that. Hugs to you and to Amber.

Guest greymom1997 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The best comfort I can add is that you were with her at the very end... she died being loved in the fullest... Her last breath you took together... My first two passed 11 days apart in 2005 and I held them in my arms as they took their last breath. I'm Buddhist and that is one of the most precious moments in the cycle of life... Death is no end... your relationship has simply changed... love lives on forever...
