"Baron & Reba"

Dedication for Black Baron and Rowdy Reba
All the love and joy, smiles and laughs you gave us
As you both romped and played
Helped to ease our pain
As we knew you were heaven bound.
God blessed us with both of you
For too short a time.
For such an illness to afflict you both seems to be such a crime.
But now little Reba, you and Baron can romp and play without the pain
As we pray our decision was the best for you both.
We will never find another whose big, brown eyes will love us as yours, dear handsome man, even through all your pain, right up to the last.
And Rowdy little Reba, we still expect to see you jumping and crying with joy each time we come home and open the door.
We miss you both more than words can ever say.
You both left a mark on our hearts that will never be erased.
We wait for the day when we will all meet again, when our old lives end and our new ones begin.
Delilah's Beauty
"Beauty"
February 8, 1996 - October 23, 1997
My precious Beauty, I am so sorry, I tried everything I could to ease your pain, I could no longer see you suffering, I miss you so much, you will never be forgotten.
Moss Grove's Cade of Twelve Oaks, CGC
"Cade"
March 2,1994 - July 24, 1999
"Cade, go sleepy for Mom. When you awaken you will romp and play and enjoy total freedom from PFs or eye problems. Kindra will join you at the Rainbow Bridge when its time. And some day I will come to reclaim you both!"
Go Sleepy for Mom
My dear, sweet, Cade
What a week this has been
Your pain was so intense
My big, brave, friend.
Relieving your pain cost
You your short life
The burden of that cuts me like
A knife.
You were such a brave soul,
Oh, how did you know
Your time was drawing near
As you courageously waited
For Mom to appear.
As I watched you struggle for each breath,
I begged you "Cade, please do not leave yet."
The vet said he could help you through--
You see, he also cared for you.
I asked for time alone with you
To prepare you for your journey,
You let my voice send you on your way
As I told you not to worry.
You could not see me, but you could hear
As I lovingly whispered in your ear
Cade, go sleepy for Mom—it's all right—I'm here.
As I wrapped my arms around you tight
You went peacefully into the Light.
When the vet came in
I said without joy,
"He's crossed to the bridge—Oh,
HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY!"
It's too soon, I cried
I am not ready for this loss
But God took you first
So you could help Kindra cross.
My grief knows no bounds
And tears overflow,
For you were so very loved,
But this you must already know.
You were my protector, my friend, my clown.
My buddy, MY BOY, my handsome pal.
Watch over us, Cade from your
Special place on high,
Run, jump, and play, with angel wings you'll fly.
With no more pain and two eyes that can see,
Your spirit is now free
For we will one day be reunited,
Koda, Kindra, You and Me.
Love, Mom

"Darby"
July 8, 1997 - February 10, 2000
We spent such a short time with you, and had so many plans for our future together…. those plans are no more than a dream now. All we have left are a lifetime of wonderful memories that we will forever hold close to our hearts. Not a day goes by when we don't think about how happy you were, and how happy you made us. You were the cherry on top of our lives! We love you Darby!
Travelot's Luke v Stevens, CGC
"Jake"
May 18, 1987 - December 5, 1999
Jake was our Mr. Happy dog, he loved everyone and everything, and everyone loved him. He was a true ambassador of the breed inside and out. I'm sure he's in heaven collecting orphan animals to give me when I meet him there. I'm going to miss his food thieving, his snoring, his obsession with his toys, his wagging tail and his big smile when I'd come thru the door. Guess I'm being selfish because he was 12 years old, but he was a "once in a lifetime dog" that wasn't here long enough.
"Jesse"
January 9. 1987 - November 16, 1998
Jesse was beautiful, smart and funny. She could be sneaky too. When her half sister, Mona, had a rawhide bone all softened up Jesse would do some ferocious barking at the front window. Mona and I would go to the window to see what was going on and Jesse would then tear back and steal the rawhide. It was all a set-up. There was nothing outside. Her convincing act tricked us over and over. We still miss her!
Hazrich's By Invitation Only, UD
"Kou La"
May 8, 1982 - November 15, 1992
Kou La, you were an extraordinary Mother's Day gift, and an exceptional obedience dog until PFs temporarily interrupted your career. You bounced back; returning to the ring, and gave us additional years of your wonderful, caring life. You may be gone but not forgotten!
"Lobo"
September 22, 1992 - September 24, 1999
There you go, my furry friend
Our companion, to the end
Gift of God to have you by
Trotting along by our side
We all miss you, my good boy
Times of fun and times of joy.
In the mountains hiking high
Now you're higher, in the sky
So catch that Frisbee, fetch the ball
We are sure you'll have it all
Where you went there's no more pain
You can be yourself again
The love you gave us, we will keep
Always with us, very deep,
In our hearts you'll always be.
Our dear Lobo, how we miss thee.
All our deepest love, kisses and hugs,
Paulo, Ana and William
Be happy, forever..
"Parker"
December 19, 1995 - August 26, 1999
Even though we knew each other for only a short period of time, I grew to love you like you were my own. You never tired of jumping on the bed to greet us as we walked in the door. You were a wonderful companion with a playful personality and a protective nature.
Saying goodbye to you was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. Know that you will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts. There will never be another dog like Parker!
"Pepper"
October 19, 1994 - January 9, 2000
"Pepper, we are sorry you had to go through this terrible illness, and wish that we had been able to do more for you. We feel blessed that you were with us for your 5 years and you will be remembered always......."
"Samson"
July 23, 1992 - June 3, 1999
"Shadow"
November 1, 1990 - March 2, 1992
"Tara"
September 23, 1991 - May 13, 1999
"She was one of life's truly gentle souls. "
"DJ's Keepsake Apache Dream"
"Teddy"
February 3, 1991 - March 11, 2000
"A gentler soul will never walk the earth. Teddy was my special pup I waited a very long time to have in my life. His spirit lives on within my own spirit and I shall never ever forget him. He and his sister Tara came into this world together in the same litter and they left this earth side by side. I look forward to the day we are all reunited."
DJ's Keepsake April Kisses
"Trisha"
April 12, 1994 - December 29, 1999
No other dog in my life has been as close to me or as loved by me as you and I miss you so! I feel honored that God entrusted you into my care while you were here on earth. As much as I hated to let you go I know I had to send you back to Him and I have no doubt you have earned your angel wings. There are times I feel you watching over me and it is this that helps me get through the days. Someday we will reunited at the Rainbow Bridge - never to be separated again! Wait for me!! I love you Little Girl!!
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb:
I live in people pockets
That's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me,
I'm too tiny to detect:
Though I'm with you all the time,
I doubt we've ever met.
Before I was an Angel...
I was a fairy in a flower:
God, Himself, handpicked me,
And gave me Angel power.
Now God has many Angels
That He trains in Angel pools:
We become His
eyes, and ears, and hands
We become His special tools.
And because God is so busy,
With way too much to do;
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you.
When He tucked me in your Pocket
He blessed you with Angel care;
Then told me to never leave you,
And I vowed always to be there.

"Zauber"
February 3, 1990 - May 24, 1999
Thanks to our wonderful baby for all the laughs, good times, hugs and kisses. You made our life better just knowing you. Your love was unconditional and you were our protector. Your time with us was way too short, but you fought as long and hard as you could. You will always be our sweet pea. Your pawprint will be forever on our hearts.
The Spirit of a German Shepherd Dog
author unknown - Contributed By Michelle
I was standing on a hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And the spirit of a German Shepherd Dog
Was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with kind dark eyes
And ancient wisdom shining through
And in the essence of his being
I saw love there too.
His mind did lock upon my heart
As I stood there on that day
And he told me of this story
About a place so far away.
I stood upon that hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second
His spirit left my feet.
His tale did put my heart at ease
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 a shooting star
My boundaries are the Milky Way
Where I sparkle from afar"
"EULOGY POEM" By: Carol Kufner"
Look not where I was
For I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere
In the air that you breathe
In the sounds that you hear
Don't cry for me Mom
My spirit is near
I'll watch for you
From the other side
I'll be the one running
New friends by my side
Smile at my memory
Remember in your heart
This isn't the end
It's a brand new start
