At the end of tonight’s Glenn Beck Program, the host paid a special tribute to a member of the Beck family not often mentioned on radio or television, the family’s canine elder statesman, Victor the German Shepherd.

I wish I could personally recommend this piece of writing to the entire thread. It is a REAL "MUST READ," and a classic.

I am very sorry for your loss.

I’m Still Here

Friend, please don’t mourn for me
I’m still here, though you don’t see.
I’m right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I’m always near.
I’m everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I’ll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I’ll never wander out of your sight
I’m the brightest star on a summer night.
I’ll never be beyond your reach
I’m the warm moist sand when you’re at the beach.

I’m the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I’m the beautiful flowers of which you’re so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you’ll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there’s no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I’ll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me, friend, I’m everyplace!

SatinDoll lost her kitty, not me. I’m sure she appreciates your messages.

I’m very sorry for your loss, I know what it is like. I lost Whitey, my half Snowshoe Cat, two months ago.

I am crying my heart out, for my losses, for Beck, Victor and all of you who have faced or are facing the inevitable goodbye.

In my life I have had many, many cats (at one time 9), delightful, lovable companions or better yet our kids. Not a single one died peacefully, we always had to make the decision for them.

I lost the last one two years ago. Angie had been my consolation, my strength, my shadow as her love helped me in the loss of my husband. She knew, she searched the house for days or would be at the window waiting for his return. She accepted in the way all animals do and then gave all her love to me as mine was for her. We could look in each other eyes and know what each felt.

Maybe we humanize them too much but when one lives with a pet for so long - Angie lived to be 19 - we are in tune and they sense things in a way we can’t. The last day of her life, she always slept on the pillow near my cheek, she was under the covers with her head on my heart. She knew.

I am sorry; it was another person but sorry to SatinDoll too.

[edpc]

I am very sorry to hear that. Take comfort in the fact she passed in a place where she was cared for and loved.

[SatinDoll]

Thank you - all of you - for your kind words and sentiments. It is very comforting.

[spetznaz]

God bless and keep you Satin Doll.

It is so hard when we lose our furry little friends but she was as lucky to have you, as you were to have her, maybe more so.

I cry every time I read it.
