This is for you Harley
I didn't know it was you God had put on my heart
that horrible news that we had to part
The fourteenth of June that he stuck in my head
I cried myself to sleep while you slept in our bed
Because I knew what was in store for tomorrow
Praying for strength to deal with the sorrow
It happened so fast that we weren't prepared
Thinking if I'd prayed harder you might have been spared
The guilt and the pain that I'm feeling inside
is because it hurt too much to stay by your side
even though you know how hard I tried
and you waited until I went outside
all I keep asking is why?why?why?
Why couldn't I stay?
Why didn't we know?
Why my Big Man do you have to go?
I knew it would happen one of these days
but there were still a few years that you should have had to play
I know it was in our Father's plan
even though I still can't understand
the pain you went through without even a sign
until we noticed you were going blind
I did some research but by then it was too late
I knew what had to be done to spare you from this terrible fate
Now all I can do is pray for that pain
to go away before I go insane
And every day all it can do is get better
that is why I'm here writing you this little love letter
So you will know that we will never be apart
you will always have a very special place in our hearts
We promise we will never forget your sweet sounding howl
or how much you loved to go out at night on the prowl
Chase the cats and cars and save a few stories
for your momma and daddy when we meet again in His glory.

I love you my Big Man more than you could have ever known before but that's what
has gotten me through these last few days is knowing that you do now.
We love you with all of our hearts, Your Momma and Daddy

This was written for our beloved Rottweiler Harley who we lost
Tuesday (he was only 6) to Lymphoma- a quick and silent killer
He was diagnosed on Monday----please love them while you have the chance

what program opens sxw files?

2 weeks have gone by-crickett misses you big man, she's been following me around everywhere I go (crickett is his 12 yr old girlfriend that misses him dearly)

That's a very moving poem I'm so sorry about your loss.

I lost my border collie very quickly too. She collapsed Thurs. June 3 - was rushed to the vet's where they discovered that she was suffering from congestive heart failure and this was shutting all her organs down. they managed to stabilize her, but she died on Saturday June 5 anyways.

I had no chance to say goodbye.

Love them while you can. It's something I say to myself regarding my other dog, and something I oftent say to people who are out with thier dogs.

It's so sad.

What a beautiful and moving tribute to Harley. I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry it happened so quickly. Even with time though, there's just no way to prepare for the loss of our precious furbabies. You did what was best for Harley, and I'm sure he knew and knows that. None of us wanted to let our babies go. You are so right about loving them while you have them and, of course, going through this intense grief, we all must remember we need to keep on remembering that about the other animals and our families and people in our lives that we love. I guess that's what keeps us going. God bless you.

Today was better - but i know that tomorrow is still up in the air.
Thanks for all the help,
Bec
