i took my jack russel Dixie off a person who didn't want him, she said she was alergic to dogs. so i took him to live with me and my husband and our own jack russel Pippa. they got on like a house on fire, but because he'd been kept in a back yard he wasn't house trained, he was 6 months old when i got him but it was like having a 6 week old puppy, and we had to start from scratch with everything. over time he learned what was required from him and he turned out to be an obedient and clean dog, and a real pleasure to have. he was taken ill very suddenly on easter monday in 2005, he just lost the use of his back legs and he was screaming in agony, being a bank holiday i didn't know how to get a hold of a vet, but thankfully the PDSA hospital was open and he was rushed there, sadly he didn't come home because he was paralysed, and the vet said there was nothing to be done and the kindest thing would be to put him to sleep because he had no quality of life.i was stunned and shocked because he had no signs of being so ill, so i gave my permission for the injection and broke my heart. i hope he is with my husband and our other dog Pippa, we had him for 16 lovely years and it took a long time to get over his loss. i will add photos later. margaret
I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms, you think I am gone forever.
You recall how I looked when I left this place, and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you... me..............
I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us forever by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead?
.................
You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories, which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.
I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
.............
I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate.
Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.
Until we meet again...
