Subject: An old friend journeys to the Rainbow Bridge
Dear alt a. friends,
Many of you are dog lovers and over the years we
have shared the joys and sorrows of our furkids.
Today it is with great sadness that I tell you that our beloved
Jessica (at almost 20 - years!), slipped into the pool last week
unnoticed and drowned.
My daughter and I weren't home (she was at her riding lesson)
and when we came home my husband was searching the yard
for her frantically trying to remember if he let her out the front
door or the back.
With four other dogs, things can get chaotic at times.
Funny, I kept pulling off the solar cover looking for her, but
never dreamed that she was still floating under it. My neighbor
found her and it was I who went in and fished her out.
It was sickening.
After I realized she was gone, I immediately called my good
friend Shannon W. who runs the Pines pet cemetary and
crematorium. and Even though it was 9:30 by the time I got
down there, she met me at the door, her calming spirit welcoming.
That and her five very smelly labs who had just come back
in from the pond themselves. Shannon cremated my other
two and never a purer soul exists doing her good work.
I am picking her up today and the neighbor who found her
will make me a box for her ashes.
We are devastated, my husband full of guilt even
though it was an accident. She really got around
quite well and loved being outside walking up and
down the yard with the others.
She now joins Teddy and Hadji at the foot of the bridge.
They were the original "three pack". The ones who, like kids,
I thought you could just "add another". So many, many years
ago that was. Another lifetime, really.
Free of age, the pain of arthritis, and blindness. I see her
leaping over the meadow in hot pursuit of the frisbees she
loved.
Rest in peace, my excellent friend. Wait for me and tell the
others I will be coming someday.

I REMEMBER JESSICA
(In memory of beloved pets who are gone, but not forgotten.)
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.
