10th Death Anniversary

This Empty Collar

The empty bed and the empty bowl,

the weed covered path we used to stroll;

dog snacks,muddy tracks and the hair on the floor,

and the slap of the flap on your dog door.

 There's still the fence that kept you safe,

and there's still the bandanas I can't put on.

Some things, they remain,

but some things are forever gone.

These old photographs, they can't take your place;

they only bring tears that flow down my face.

Your love was unconditional, mine was the same.

The price of love is memories and their pain.

They say time heals everything

and yes I know that is true

The food and the Vet bills, you were worth every dollar,

but there is nothing so sad and it hurts so bad as I cling to

"this Empty Collar"

Happy 17th Barkday!

I weally weally wuff you

I weally weally do

When I say, "Your wonderful"

It's weally, weally true.

You mean the very world to me

You weally haven't got a clue.

I so tweasure our welationship

cause I'm so in wuff with you.

HAPPY 17TH BARKDAY, DEXTER!

9th Death Anniversary

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.

So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.

Happy 16th Barkday!

A companion, a pal,
A very best friend.
Someone to trust,
To love 'til the end.
Someone to trust,
When feeling blue.
Always a smile,
T'always greet you.
Always a smile,
To dry up your tears.
A person to be there,
To quiet your fears.
A person to be there,
When lonely or sad.
Loving regardless,
If hating or mad.
Loving regardless,
If caring or cruel.
No matter what,
Genius or fool.
No matter what,
They stand by you.
Who is this person,
Have you a clue?
Who is this person?
I'll tell you who.
This is your pet,
That loves through 'n through.

8th Death Anniversary

八年前，死亡第一次在我眼前真实地发生。

当时，你已病入膏肓有整整一个星期站不起来了。在兽医院时，你突然使劲了力量站起来看了我一眼后，就吐血到卧不起。

兽医给你进行急救，我却只能无助地站到一旁默默的为你祈祷。这一幕就像美国连续剧ER的情节。不同的是，发生在我眼前的事是真实的而并非虚构的。

遗憾的是，经过一番抢救，你仍然是回魂乏术。

兽医取除了口罩对我说：“I'm sorry, he's gone…”

Happy 15th Barkday!

My dog is amazing, I truly adore,
So very cute, walks on all four.
Sometimes he makes a pretty big mess,
When he's around, I never depress.
 Runs and jumps, when I come home,
Loves when I pet him, and gently comb.

With my dog, I get to act crazy,
When we watch TV, we get a bit lazy.
 He gets excited and begins to bark,
When we are leaving for the park.
My dog is definitely my best friend,
Time with him, I love to spend.

HAPPY 15TH BARKDAY, DEXTER!

Seventh Death Anniversary

宝贝

今天翻出你的遗物，

才惊觉你已離開了那么多年。

每逢想起你的点点滴滴，

心里就会不由自主地揪了一下。

在开始写这篇时才赫然发现，
原来我已没有任何你的照片可用了。

往年都是反复地使用那几张仅有却已发了黄的照片。

非常纳闷为何当初没能为你留下多些回忆呢？

自从你离开以后，
我都尽量避免经过我们曾一起散步的街道。

Happy 14th Barkday!

Some people suffer difficulties

Making friends for life

But when it come to you, my Pal

You're better than a wife!

You're always pleased to see me

You hang onto my every word

You will follow me to the ends of the earth

completely undeterred!

Maybe because you can't talk back

that helps the situation.

But I'll do anything for you, my friend

Without any hesitation.

Sixth Death Anniversary

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.

Happy 13th Barkday!

Member of the Family

What would I do without you,
My precious, furry friend?
Part mischief, but all blessing,
And faithful to the end!

You look at me with eyes of love,
You never hold a grudge...
You think I'm far too wonderful
To criticize or judge.

It seems your greatest joy in life
Is being close to me...
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm, soft fur would be.

I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true...
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you!

A few short years is all we have;
One day we'll have to part...
But you, my pet, will always have
a place within my heart.
