It was a year ago for me last month, and it still hurts worse than shit all the time.

It probably won't help you feel better, but for some reason I dig the fact that someone else "got it" too and wrote his feelings down. It lets you know you weren't the only one out there who was blessed enough to have at least had the time you had with her.

("I miss ya Maggie May, there hasn't been a day yet I haven't cried for ya inside.")

Quote:

by Rudyard Kipling
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find--it's your own affair--
But...you've given your heart for a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!);
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart for the dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long--
So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

I don't mind at all, they're not my words. Rudyard Kipling is my favorite poet, the man just had a magical way of getting ideas/emotions/moods/feelings across with such style!

I have to assume you've at least read his "If" poem, if not you probably should.

At least he leaves good memories...My family has had a lot of dogs that have passed away in my life.

Chaos · Nov 21, 2002, 06:22 PM

How true,

Zardon · Nov 21, 2002, 06:24 PM

I have always had a dog, ever since I was a kid, I remember them all. No animal I love more than a dog. truly mans best friend.

I am not sure if you are familiar with the breed (Boston Terrier) Zardon but she was the best tempered, loving animal I have come across. I will never forget her.... Once agin thx to all that have responded it is really helping me deal with this awful moment !!!!

I am not able to view the image dude!!!! oppps it just took awhile

Is it your artwork?

It is my wallpaper for today at least : )

Nov 21, 2002, 07:46 PM

Im really sorry to hear that you lost a friend.

Cause having lost a few myself i totally feel your pain.

Friend??....hell no...i meant family...cause thats what they are
at least to the few that treat them so.

Too bad GOD made them with such short life spans.

I,m sure some day you'll find the courage to get a new

puppy to fill the void .....i know we cant replace lost friends but we can allways make new ones and remember our old.

I think im gonna sleep with both my pups tonight........

DriveEuro · Nov 21, 2002, 09:08 PM

Yeah, I enjoy my dogs too...but personally I find my bird to be more fun of a companion....but nevertheless, we all find different things to soothe us.

DriveEuro · Nov 21, 2002, 09:08 PM

sorry for the pic size, i thought that they were smaller....sorry

Red Sovine....song--(Old Chet)

Where the lamb lies down, by the lion on the ground, and all the wild beast will be tame---And even the bear will be gentle up there ive heard it time and time again.

Man you dont wont to here this song after loseing a furry friend or maybie you do.

Sorry to hear about your loss

DriveEuro · Nov 22, 2002, 03:46 AM

Kelsenellenelvian · Nov 22, 2002, 04:55 AM
