Happy Birthday, EnnisExile...
I love all the poems you so painstakingly researched. Would you believe, the ONLY ball my Brunna liked to play with was a yellow tennis ball, so that reference was very special.
I know many of you will offer your sympathies/happy(?)birthdays on this thread and I will say just one universal "thank you" now for those welcome expressions. My grief just does not permit me to answer every one.
Maybe damnlimey could post Brunna's picture on here again, just so that I can save the whole thread as a wonderful memorial to a wonderful pet.
When I woke this morning I felt very odd
I don't know why but I felt close to God
The sun was shining, the birds were singing
The music was soft, the bells were ringing
And puppies were romping at play
What a pleasant start to a wonderful day
I remember lying down to take a nap
I remember I had my head in her lap
I remember the sad look in her eye
I remember I had never seen her cry
I remember I wanted to ask her why
I remember hearing her say "Good Bye"
I wanted to say don't cry for me
I wanted to say just remember me
I wanted to say I remember the toys
I wanted to say I remember the joys
I wanted to say I remember your touch
I wanted to say I loved you so much
I wanted to say what an angel you've been
For showing me the way to him
When I woke up I knew there would be no pain
When I woke up I knew I could play in the rain
You've taken care of me all my life
You've guarded me from trouble and strife
You've been with me through good and bad
You've always stopped me from being sad
You've given me treats and given me care
You told me what to expect when I got there
So please don't cry wipe the tears from your eye
I'll look down upon you with a woof and a sigh
I'll gather my courage and march up to God
I'll ask him when you get there to give you a nod
For you were my master you were my friend
And I'll be waiting for you at the rainbows end.

Don't grieve too long for now I'm free
I've followed the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I swished my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To meow, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace; it made my day.
My parting has left you with a void
Please feel it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your head and share with me
God wanted me; He set me free!!

You had me going there for a minute - you're such a cut-up! And thanks for your kind thoughts in post #10.
I know. I'm almost there right now. My dog is tore up from cancer. It's so hard to know when is the right time to put him down. I don't want to prolong any suffering, but I don't want to take any of his precious time away. He still plays at the park, so I think he's alright for now. Still it breaks my heart to watch him be sick. It's just tearing me up inside.
The only way I can explain the feeling is a nauseating knot in the pit of your stomach and in the very base of your soul.
Funny you said that. These words to a Led Zeppelin song fill my mind:
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry oh oh ah ay
Baby please don't go
When I read the letter you wrote me
it made me mad mad mad
When I read the words that it told me
It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so
I can't let you go
I love you - ooh baby I love you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every breath I take oh oh oh oh
Oh every move I make ay ay oh
Baby please don't go
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
It hurts me to my soul oh oh oh oh
You hurt me to my soul oh
Darling please don't go
When I read the letter you sent me
it made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it broke
It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so
And I can't let you go
I love you - ooh baby I love you"
