Candy came to us on 4th December 1993, she was the most gorgeous little puppy, a tiny Jack Russell. Unusually for a Jack Russell she was a beautiful golden colour with cute little white paws and a white patch on her forehead and white tipped tail. All the family fell instantly in love with her, specially my nephews Luke and Carl who were just 5 and 3 years old at the time. She was a very friendly, affectionate dog and quickly became one of the family and loved by everyone who met her. Only 8 weeks after we got her, sadly my Dad Tom suddenly passed away from a heart attack, I think it was on that day that I realised what a special animal Candy was and a true friend. That day after I arrived home from the hospital, I sat down on the sofa, still in a great deal of shock, and this tiny puppy climbed up onto my lap and didn't leave my side for the rest of the day, it was as if she was trying to comfort me. Candy was a wonderful pet, so much fun, she had a great personality and was very gentle and loving. I wish I had a pound for every mile we walked together, no matter what time of day or night Candy was always ready to go out, she certainly helped to keep me fit!. The one thing she hated was having a bath, I had to chase her round the house, catch her and physically carry her upstairs to the bathroom, it was quite a struggle!. Then when it was all over, she'd shake herself and I'd end up soaked and covered in loose hair and she'd run downstairs and roll about on the carpet to get dry!.
Eventually poor Candy started to look old, she put on weight and the hair on her muzzle turned white but she was still full of life, although she began slowing down. Suddenly she started getting lumps on her belly and blood in her urine, she slept a lot more but she was still our lovely Candy and was still sweet and gentle. In the end we had to take her to the vet who diagnosed breast cancer, we were all devestated, she was such a wonderful dog and we loved her dearly. Finally, on 8th January 2007 we had to say goodbye to her, it was the kindest thing to do but none of us wanted to see her go. Candy, you were the best dog in the world, I loved you so much but unfortunately dogs lives are all too short. Rest in peace darling, I'll never forget you, god bless.xxxx

They will not go quietly,
the pets who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still can make us think
we hear them at the door
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them...
and always will.

A Tribute to your pet dog
When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name."
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said,
"Dear Lord,there's not one left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend."
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...
