Jasper, a big, black, German Shepherd Dog. As his name suggests, he was my dark knight. I loved him
so much. It hurts so much that he is gone from this world. I had to decide it was time for him to
go. I didn't want that to be my decision. He needed me to though. He had a degenerative disease that
meant he couldn't feel his legs. The tablets helped him for 5 years. It got the better of him in the
end. He is better off now. He won't struggle to walk or run any more. He is as free as a bird at
last.
God bless you Jasper. Please wait for me. I love you soooooooo much.
I didn't forget your birthday buddy
I just wasn't on here that day. I love you loads, I think about you every day. Your new brother Bailey would have loved to have met you. You'd have got on great. Really, I wish you were here to help me sort him out. He needs some stern handling. He's such a rogue. You were never like that, were you? Not much, LOL. Poor Sophie, she has to be his mum, playmate and toy all in one. She does sort him out but Bailey has size on his side. He pulls her around by her tail. She doesn't seem to be bothered though.
I love you mate. Hope you're happy where you are. Please be around when I come to join you.
Love always.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and they are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. The animals are so happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together each day, but then the day comes when one suddenly stops and peers into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
YOU have been spotted, and when you finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved soft head, and you finally get to look once again into the loving eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

Our new friend
Hello big man. I've stopped by to thank you for sending our new buddy our way. Katie missed you so much she went out and found Bailey, our newest member of the family. He's a fine German Shepherd, just like you and I'm sure he'll look after me just as you did. He's a little monkey at the moment but I know he's going to perfect for us. I have added a photo of him for all our friends to see.
Love you lots Jaz.
Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

My best buddy
I will always remember you as my best buddy. You were my strength, my courage. You were always there for me, always, always. You filled the whole house with every little movement. I loved it. You were like a big bear. Your favourite game was catching water coming out of the hose pipe. Your jaw opened and closed so fast you looked like a crocodile. You also loved playing in the snow, eating it, catching it. You had such a lovely nature, so gentle, in a bull in a china shop kind of way. All the family loved you. You were so special to us big fella. My Jazzy. I will miss you forever my lovely. I loved it when you howled each time Katie sang ‘Miss dynamiteehee’ and also when I played the pan pipes. It was wonderful. You were so clever.
I could see how tired you had got mate. Two days before your last day, you collapsed whilst out on your walk. Again three times the same day. It was the day you went to meet Jess at my mum and dads. Jess didn’t seem to want you there did she? Little imp. You were a gentleman as usual though. I’m so proud of you Jasper. There is a very big gap in my life now without you. I really wanted to go with you. I would have if I could have. I didn’t want to live without you. I know life goes on but I really hope you’ll wait for me buddy. I love you soooooooo much. Please be happy, wandering the wide open spaces at last. Don’t stray too far away from me though my lovely.
All my love forever.

I miss you so much; my four-legged friend
I ask myself each day; if the pain will ever end
Your loss is so hard; for one person to bear
because we were a team; an inseparable pair
You were by my side; when I got up each day
waiting so patiently; to go out and play
You were there each night; when I got home
waiting to go to the park; where you could roam
You always knew; if I was having a bad day
so you'd snuggle up close; and try to get me to play
If that didn't work; you'd put your head in my lap
then make yourself comfortable; and take a nap
One way or another you; would brighten my day
like only you could; you had a special way
You gave me a lifetime; of memories to hold
through all the years ahead; till I'm gray and old
I promise I'll see you; again one day
when we'll be together again; to go run and play
Your loss is a cross; I will just have to bear
because you and I know; we're an inseparable pair

I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

A letter from your pet in heaven
Author Unknown
To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."
Wish
(by Terri Onorato)
I wish I had a daisy
for each time you've crossed my mind,
I'd lay a trail of white and gold
across the great divide.
I wish I had an orchid
for each tear I've cried for you,
I'd fill the deepest ocean
and watch the waves come through.
I wish I had a lily
for each memory that we made,
I'd plant them in the clouds
in tribute to your loving ways.
I wish I had a rosebud
for each earthly day you lived,
so I could pave a soft and fragrant path
to your new home at Rainbow Bridge.
