I hope I can load this don't know but I found it on the web a man named Dave wrote it for his Scruffy.
Dedicated to Scruffy
"Before the Journey"
" I have decided," said the tiny light to the large
bright one. "I'm ready to go." The tiny light felt the
compassionate smile from the larger light as it spoke.
" Have you thought about your commitment
thoroughly?"
"Yes I have. And I've picked my family" the tiny light
answered with a voice shimmering with excitement.
The large light spoke softly as it encircled the tiny one.
"There are some things you need to know about the
life you are choosing and until you are comfortable
with these you must not be hasty."
"Yes?"
"Come with me."
The lights glided along a wide hallway with a pearled
floor and crystal walls. On either side were scenes as
if they were pictures in an art gallery. " This is what
you must know." said the large light, as they were
drawn into one of the scenes. They observed what
appeared to be a play with all the participants acting
out a role in real life.The great light with all the
compassion of the universe spoke again. " You will be
born a mixed breed as you can see. That means you
will have no pedigree. Some may even refer to you as
a mutt. You will have a genetic disorder that will make
you prone to seizures. This will be a frightening
experience each time it happens. Also, your body will
be too heavy for your small legs and as you get older
they won't support you as well.You may have trouble
stepping off a curb or even over a threshold. There
will be times the family will take short trips and you will
think they deserted you. You will get hot and you
will feel cold and most of all you will feel pain as you
age and your joints deteriorate. Are you sure you
are ready?"
The tiny light replied," I have been watching what you
are showing me and I will tell you what I see. I have
seen the family where my sister lives already. I have
seen the love showered on her. They don't care about
pedigree as they are connected far beyond that. I see
them loving me for what I am and never regretting
having me. They let me jump up on the bed at night
and sleep there with my sister. And when I'm scared
they even let me creep up a little more toward the head
of the bed where I feel safer. And when they are gone
for a while they always return and pick me up and hug
me and make me feel warm and secure inside. When I
have seizures they hold me close to them and no
matter how frightening it is, I know I'm going to be
O.K. in the end because they are always there for me.
And when I'm old and can't get around as well they are
there with the medicine to make me feel better. They lift
me up onto the sofa or bed because I can't jump up any
more. I see them holding me and massaging the sore
places in my legs and back. Their touch emits so much
love and healing it does more than any medicine. I feel
healing tears drop onto my head as they hurt for me
when I hurt." The tiny light stopped and looked again
at the great light. And then added, " So you see I
would go through the bad days many times over to
receive the love I have bestowed upon me. To be able
to give the love and joy that I will bring to this family is
my purpose for being. May I have your permission to
go?"
The great light glowed even brighter and said," Go to
your new home. I know you are ready. And by the
way they will call you "Scruffy." " I love it! " said the
tiny light as it shot off to its' destination.
