Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

So very sorry Leslie. You really did give Squirt the best life.
Fly free Squirt

So very sorry for your immense loss Leslie. Fly with the Angels Queen Squirt, you are whole and in no pain now.

Leslie, this poem gives me a lot of comfort. I love the Rainbow Bridge Poem, But this poem Loss of a Heart is to remind us they never really left us: I hope you receive some comfort from it.

The Loss Of A Heart

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 your tea.
You were thinking of the many times, your hand reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to hold 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 keys.
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 hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be near you everyday.
To say with 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 "Goodnight, 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 with me.

I am so very sorry, Leslie. My heart breaks with yours.

I am so very sorry for your loss - I wish you strength and peace during this tremendously difficult time.

Someone said to me recently that we always know we will outlive our dogs but it doesn't make it any easier when we do. It made me think about how remarkable it is that, despite knowing they will be with us for a relatively short period of time, we throw all our defenses aside and love them boundlessly - just the way they love us.

Oh Leslie, I am so, so sorry....

I am so sorry Leslie. We all feel your pain.

My heart is breaking for you my very dear friend. Squirt had such a wonderful life with you. You were the best mom she could have had. You gave her so many years of love and happiness. You shared a very special bond. Fly free sweet Squirt.

I'm sending you tons of love and huge hugs. You are a very special lady.
