A Final Tribute To Dude. ( Archived) (45)

A "HEART FELT" GOOD-BYE:
To my 4 legged best friend, Dude…

* I sit and try to write the words, I want your heart to hear,
hoping to find some comfort, in the fact that your not here.
* look out into the open yard, that you once occupied,
knowing the yard is empty, cause my friend, you've died.
* I believe with my heart, that your soul is gone to be,
with all the angel dogs, that you were meant to see.
* I will have to stay behind, until God calls me too,
so don't be afraid, that he's only called for you.
* The water is still, in the bowl you drank and played,
and your bed is empty, where your pretty head laid.
* The porch is so empty, where you always laid between,
my two feet that you LOVED to nap and only dream.
* One day our eyes will shut one last time,
and you will come greet me, angel of mine.
* Until then, I'll keep trying to see through my tears,
the memories you left me, to reflect through the years.
* I'll never forget one minute we spent,
of loving and laughing, of times for us that were meant.
* And I dread the day that your scent disappears,
for it's "proof" to me, Dude, that you were just here!
* But one day will come, when I'll start to see through,
the pain of the moment, and remember just "you".
* Now you go and play, and look down when you can,
remembering I love you, and this isn't the end.
* In loving memory of "DUDE", who passed away 7/20/13

I'm so sorry, John.

Your tributes to your great friend are lovely. I really enjoyed watching your video. What a lovely, stupid mutt. laugh

I've got to the happy-sad stage with my three in doggy heaven, but the video reminded me of my first dog in particular.

It looks like you both had a lovely life together.

Well there's an old Irish saying that might offer some comfort, "It's been cat since the dog died!" I know it's ruff on you but I'm sure old Dude is happily licking his bollix in doggy heaven :-)

Thanks for all the responses, and you're all right.
After you have one for a while, they become more like family, and you (or I) don't see them as animals/pets as much, but family.

But, all this is part of life, and it is a process we all must face at some point.

Again, thanks...

Hi Janie... I understand your reasoning, and thought process.

Myself, after weighing the difference between the joy of having one, and loosing one..., I'd rather have the joy of their presence, and accept the lose when their time comes. JMO...

OK, you have a great day, and thanks for your comment.

Yes I agree, unfortunately my job and travelling also weighs heavily in the decision making process to have another dog. wave
