Saying goodbye to somebody or something you love is so painful. I know several people who will be totally devestated the day their pets die. For them they are the only family members left.

This is such a beautiful and lyrical tribute to Reba.

Sincere condolences and best wishes.

Truely Touching. I felt the loss over your loved pet by the beautful tribute of your words. I too can identify with your poem.

Thank God for healing! Sometimes tragedy can strike and everything may fall down all around you - but we heal a little each and everyday and become stronger. You are using your love for the many four-legged angels that have touched your life to increase awareness about their plight(s). You honor Reba with the work that you do.

God bless you,

Tyrone

This is one of the very good examples of universal truths. Bleak or no bleak, there are times in the life of every human being to have the solace in the fact that deep sense of loss is one of the shared emotions by all in the human experience.

It is easy for a life to waste but it is not easy for the bereaved to easily forget the aftermath mental traumas that arise from the vacuums created by the loss of loved ones. One howver, has to be philosphical about daeth and deep sense of loss since it is inevitable.

Time, they say, heals all wounds but it is obvious that some broken hearts never mend. Too sad.

Nice poem with a masterful depiction of the truth. Good job.

I loved this poem. It is very hard to say good-bye to your loved ones. I consider all of my pets my children. My last dog, a Siberian Husky, was more like my best friend and an old soul all in one fluffy canine canister.

I thought this was a hard one to write for you. You made me sad. It certainly got the message across.

Well done!

I also have a lab and he is with me. I wrote about him in 'Lab Lap'. It is in the book you have read: White Down"
