Thank you all so much for the emails. I am so consumed in saddness that reading the poems and emails today did help me cry and helped me smile just a little. Life goes on, we have been through this before with Roo when he died a year and a half ago. It is never easy.

I look for her, I smell her, I feel her. This morning I put her dish out, just automatically and then put it away as tears rolled down my face.

I know the others feel her loss, as they look at me to help them through as well. My husand and my daughter too. I didnt know I would feel this bad,...Annie just grabbed your heart and held it in hers.

We know how hard it is to lose a special senior,who only shared your life for a short time. I've done the exact same thing of putting out the extra bowl.... Just know that our Rosie is intoducing her to all her new friends at the Bridge....

THE SPIRIT OF A GREYHOUND

 

I was standing on a hillside

In a field of blowing wheat,

And the spirit of a Greyhound

Was lying at my feet.

 

She looked at me with kind dark eyes,

Ancient wisdom shining through.

In the essence of her being,

I saw the love there too.

 

Her mind did lock upon my heart

As I stood there on that day,

And she told me of this story

About a place so far away.

 

As I stood upon that hillside

In a field of blowing wheat,

In a twinkling of a second

Her spirit left my feet.

 

Her tale did put my heart at ease,

All my fears did fade away

About what lay ahead of me

On another distant day.

 

"I live among God's creatures now

In the heavens of your mind,

So do not grieve for me, my friend

As I am with my kind.

 

My collar is a rainbow's hue,

My leash is a shooting star.

My boundaries are the Milky Way

Where I sparkle from afar.

 

There are no pens or kennels here

For I am not confined,

But I'm free to roam God's heavens

Among the Greyhound kind.

 

I nap the day on a snowy cloud

Gentle breezes rocking me,

And dream the dreams of earthlings,

And how it used to be.

 

The trees are full of liver treats,

And tennis balls abound,

And milkbones line the walkways

Just waiting to be found.

 

There even is a ring set up,

The grass all lush and green;

And everyone who gaits around

Becomes the Best of breed.

 

For we're all winners in this place;

We have no faults, you see.

And God passes out those ribbons

To each one, even me.

 

I drink from waters laced with gold,

My world a beauty to behold;

And wise old dogs do form my pride

To amble at my very side.

 

At night I sleep in angel's arms,

Her wings protecting me,

And moonbeams dance about us

As stardust falls on thee.

 

So when your life on earth is spent

And you stand at Heaven's gate,

Have no fear of loneliness--

For here, you know, I wait.

Deb, I am so sorry to read about Annie. Words seem so inadequate. Meeting you and Annie in Kanab was special. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I don't know how I missed this...

I am so sorry.

 

You gave her the most loving and happy days she could have imagined....

She is free and running at the bridge.
