Dakota was my son Allen's dog. He got him when he was only a puppy. Dakota was part wolf & part german shepard. Allen loved that dog! And Dakota loved him! When we would baby sit him, he would howl, I would take my fly swatter out and give him a few small taps to make him be quiet. When Allen would come to get him, he would actually make sounds like he was telling on me! We became his owners when he got old. Allen would come and visit him often. He would always know when Allen drove up. He died peacefully in his sleep. He was already in heaven when Allen got there April 4, 2008. They are together now and I know they both are happy to be with each other again.

When the Time Comes
John Quealy
Lord, when the time comes please help me be strong
My furry friend is sick; something's terribly wrong
The vet checked him over; there's nothing he can do
I'm afraid soon I'll be sending him; home to You
Please take him back home; on the wings of a dove
Into Your loving arms; up in heaven above
Take him to a meadow; where he can play and run free
Under bright sunlight; among the green grass and trees
He's been a part of my life now; for so many years
I'll miss him so much; my eyes are filling with tears
Please give me the courage; to tell him good-bye
As I know He'll watch over me; through his loving eyes
I'll never forget him; I'll see him one day
Tell him we'll meet at the Bridge; then we'll go play
I'll cherish the memories; of the time we both had
they'll put a smile on my face; then I won't feel as bad

ღ A Farewell ღ
FAREWELL, oh dream of mine!
I dare not stay;
The hour is come, and time
Will not delay:
Pleasant and dear to me
Wilt thou remain;
No future hour
Brings thee again.
❦
She stands, the Future dim,
And draws me on,
And shows me dearer joys—
But thou art gone!
Treasures and Hopes more fair,
Bears she for me,
And yet I linger,
Oh dream, with thee!
❦
Other and brighter days,
Perhaps she brings;
Deeper and holier songs,
Perchance she sings;
But thou and I, fair time,
We too must sever—
Oh dream of mine,
Farewell for ever!

♥ Waiting For Wilbur ♥
You run green fields and chase the clouds.
No boundaries. No sorrow. No pain.
Although I want to be with you, it is here where I remain.
Our memories are comfort now.
So treasured. So welcomed. So strong.
Although you are in another place, it is here where I belong.
One day, I know, I’ll cross the bridge.
Over stars. Beyond clouds. By the sea.
But until I travel to rainbows end, by the shore, Wilbur waits for me.
By Carole McCoy, 2010
Little Angels Poem
Little angels from up above
Sent to us so full of love,
Never judging, always there
A faithful heart that is so rare.
Gentle eyes, shining bright
An energy of holy light,
Loyalty, that is unmatched
So easily we are attached.
A love so pure, none to compare
Sweet memories that we have shared,
Never could one ever dream
The impact from this little being.
They touch our lives more than we know
We live with them and watch them grow,
Share our laughs and our cries
Always soothed by loving eyes.
Little angels so strong and true
They live their lives just for you,
"Good-bye" for now, we'll meet again
My sweet and pure, angelic friend.

*ღ* I Wake at Night *ღ*
I wake at night - and hear
A soft sweet howl, floating on the wind
A kindred spirit - gone from here and now,
Yet lingering - forever lingering.
I see the ready smile, the proud yet gentle eyes of my dear friend
I smile and weep - for what we shared.... a bond too strong to end.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Beyond the Pearly Gates Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
She'd been with you for many years
Her loyalty did show
You loved her and she loved you back
Until she had to go…♥
You found him as a lonely stray
You gave him lots of care
His grateful love had known no bounds
Until he wasn't there…♥
You miss her shaggy golden head
Or striped or spotted back
Your dear companion cat or dog
Whose love you'd never lack…♥
Do not despair for they'll be there
When your time's at the end
There, just beyond the Pearly Gates
Awaits your furry friend…♥

Metamorphosis
I watched a butterfly dry his wings
On a sun warmed blade of grass.
A dry cocoon fell to the ground.
The need for it was past.
Not long ago a squirmy worm
Had wriggled up this way,
But now this flying flower
Had brightened up my day.
The caterpillar wasn't gone,
But changed, so he could fly.
He left his former way of life
Without a tear or sigh.
I wonder if the caterpillars
That he left behind
Wonder what became of him
Or knew what he would find?
Did they try to hold on to him?
Do they miss him? Do they mourn?
Do they know he isn't gone,
But that he has been reborn?
It can be hard to say good-bye.
It can hurt to let go.
But, sometimes, that's the only way
Those lovely wings can grow.

An Angel's Kiss
Your breath is the song that the morning sings,
Chirping birds, fluttering angel wings,
Daylight dances on the air;
Leaves rustle unaware.
Quietly, thoughts of you wander through my mind,
A gentle breeze on my face I find;
As if a kiss delivered to me
By the angels I know are there, but cannot see.
Just like the love that will never end,
I long to call this sorrow my friend.

Slowly and careful
Your steps find their mark
Over paths well travelled
Through our favourite park.
Eyes that could spy
A ladybug's flight
Now search for the ball
that's plainly in sight.
A nose that would search
cool breeze blowing free
Is unstirred by the scents
of a squirrel in the tree.
Agile and spry, a marvel to watch
A deer could only compare
Is sadly a memory tucked away
as I watch you tackle a stair.
Although your body has grown tired
And Life has taken its toll
I still see only my friend, my companion
through your wonderful loving soul.
A soul with a lock
where old age holds no key
Keeping youth perpetual
If only for my eyes to see.
We continue our walk as we've done so before
But soon we will reluctantly part
Our paths will divide but you need not fear
For with you, you'll be taking my heart.

Touch Me
Touch me with your voice as a puppy young and new,
And let me know my presence is what is pleasing you.
Touch me with your spirit, for God sent me here to you,
To teach you of that precious bond known by the choicest few.
Touch me with your hands as I grow tall and strong,
I need you as my mentor through out my whole life long.
Touch me with your lips, and brush them softly on my brow,
Please kiss away the fears that I am feeling now.
Touch me with your eyes as I become full grown,
To validate unspoken love that we have always known.
Touch me with your heart as our bond keeps growing stronger
And words need not be used in our language any longer.
Touch me with your breath, so soft and warm upon my face,
As I try to bring you comfort in life's never ending race.
Touch me with your love when my muzzle turns to gray,
I live my life to please you, each and every single day.
Touch me with your scent when age has dimmed my sight,
To reassure me always that you will be my light.
Touch me with your face when your tears are meant for me,
So I may bear your pain and let your heart be free.
Touch me with remembrance when I have traveled on,
And, I will hold your heart in mine forever when I'm gone.

ღ Signs ღ
(By Jamie Van Der Meer)
My angel sends a butterfly,
To land upon my arm.
They send me signs to let me know,
They’re safe & loved & warm.
My angel sends me rainbows
On a cloudy day.
I understand that they are near,
And things will be okay.
Today they sent me snowflakes,
From a sunny sky above.
I could feel their presence,
And the power of their love.
My angel sends me little signs
In the moon and skies
The signs are subtle, yet I know,
They're meant just for my eyes.
I look for all these little signs,
To comfort me each day.
The signs can even make me laugh,
My angel loves to play!
These signs are The Creator's things,
And you might think it's odd,
To believe my angel sends these signs,
They do...they’re one with God.

ღ Pax ღ
(By D.H. Lawrence)
All that matters is to be at one with the living God
To be a creature in the house of the God of Life.
Like a cat asleep on a chair
at peace, in peace
and at one with the master of the house,
with the mistress at home,
at home in the house of the living,
sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.
Sleeping on the hearth of the living world,
yawning at home before the fire of life
feeling the presence of the living God
like a great reassurance
a deep calm in the heart
a presence
as of a master sitting at the board
in his own and greater being,
in the house of life.
