The joys of a quiet life
A tribute to a Very Special Man..
GOD BLESS OUR PETS
They say memories are golden,
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

My Tribute to Ricky
TRIBUTE TO RICKY
OUR ‘LITTLE BLUE’
You may have moved into a higher place and watching us from above,
But from all the tears you’ve seen us cry you know that you were loved.
You chose to come and live with us so many years ago
And settled into our family the only way you would know.
The training part was such great fun as we watched you train your Dad,
He really got into the training game as he saw you looking so glad.
But we knew there was one last decision, we had to make for you.
You were getting rather tired and you too knew your time was through.
Between the tears we said goodbye and sent you on your way
Please wait for us Dear Ricky until we meet again some day.
XXXXXXXX

For fourteen years you’ve shared my life and how quickly they’ve flown by,
I’m just so glad I held you as you took your final sigh.
You weren’t well known for heelwork, retrieves or recalls,
You were just happy to be chasing round and running after balls.
You were the leader of our gang and kept everyone in their place.
You didn’t need to snap or growl, they knew just by your face.
You started to get weary, your legs started to give way,
I wished I could make you young again.
I just wanted you to play.
You defied the vets and lived, for many extra years
But that doesn't ease the heartbreak or wipe away the tears.
Time waits for no one, not even the best.
You looked so very tired and I knew you wanted Rest.
I hope you’re running through the clouds to go and get your wings,
But before you cross the bridge I’ve got to tell you one last thing.
I’m proud to have known you and I’m really glad you see,
That fourteen years ago, you chose to live with me.

Tribute to Jay.
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go. I really do
. It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

Here is a tribute to Anne Hendry a lady from Spalding Dog Training Club, where Jess trains, who passed away. It was a great shock to us all. Anne used to instruct at the club and had just recently retired from doing so but still played an active part in the club. She will be greatly missed.

To Piddle
It was cold and dark and wet, the night you stole my heart
Sue carried you into the hall; I loved you from the start
I took you home
Dad wasn’t impressed
He said you couldn’t stay
You licked his face and wagged your tail
You even made him play
He tried hard not to like you, but it was all in vain
He finally said ‘yes’ and that’s how you got your name
We started with our training and mostly got on fine
The only problems that you had were nearly always mine
You took me through the classes; Not knowing what you’d done
From Prebeginners to Ticket – I hope I made it fun
We never managed to get to Crufts, our chances went astray
But I know if I ever get there, you’ll be with me on the day
You always knew if I was down or if things had gone bad
You’d snuggle up and lick my hand and stop me feeling sad
I hope I did things right by you on our final ride
And I hope you weren’t too scared, coz I was right there by your side
You know how much I love you and I know that you will wait,
Until I come to meet you outside the Pearly Gate
Now you’re not here it feels as if, my world has fallen apart
It was cold and dark and wet last night, when you broke my heart
