I mourn for Gretel. She is the example of sadness so many dogs suffer at the hands of uncaring people. Ignorant people who say "It's ONLY a dog" Those who think that a little food and water is enough. Those in their self righteousness think that by keeping it they are doing it a favor.	Gretel

"Our time ran out. We were just numbers in a pen. Why was there no one to come take us home? Did we do something wrong?

If you are going to get a dog, PLEASE save ones life. If you adopt from a rescue, you are still saving a life because it makes room for another dog who may otherwise die.
These dogs only had 2 days!!! Two days for someone to save them. Don't think you can 'wait until tomorrow' to make that decision. The perfect dog for you may not have any tomorrows.

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 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 every day
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.
~hugs of love~
