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 reassure 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.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Poor old doggie we were with you when he was a pup and he was one of the nicest little chaps. For the best though dear, sad though it is. I am truly sorry.

I am so, so sorry to hear about Smooch. It is like losing a family member. At least he had a wonderfully happy life, filled with love and attention. Not many doggies can say that. Mourn for as long as you need, and never forget him . . .

Oh my sweet friend I hold my arms, heart and prayers out to you. You are ready for an upturn. You have had enough down turns. We shall in a way all miss that sweet pup, we mentally cuddled him, watched him and saw how his mom loved him. He is far better off than he was hurting, but that is little consolation when you hurt. Love you sweet lady.

So tough it is to lose a pet. They are members of the family.

I'm so sorry you've had to say goodbye.

At least it was you and your household surrounding him, and supporting him as long as he could be with you, and not someone with less sensitivity and caring.

I am very sad that Smooch has passed away - and I know how hard it is for you! Having followed his life with you over the last couple of years, he was a lovely doggie for all of us...
