Our dog, Honey...

Our one-eyed beauty...
Our dog, Honey, died a couple of weeks ago.  She was our kind and gentle companion.   Her previous life wasn’t a very pleasant one.  Some friends said Honey thought she died and went to heaven when she came to live with us.  Now she is in heaven…we miss her every day.

Today my friend gave me this saying.  I cherish it and hope it is meaningful to you if you are a dog lover, protector and caregiver.


It came to me
That every time
I lose a dog
They take a piece
Of my heart with them,
And every new dog
Who comes into my life
Gifts me with a piece
Of their heart.

If I live long enough
All the components
Of my heart
Will be dog, and
I will become
As generous and
          Loving as they are.        
                         -Anonymous

I can only hope.

Rest in Peace, Honey girl.

Bonnie

Bonnie I'm so dearly sorry to hear about Honey - it's such a loss, my heart goes out to you from someone who knows. Would it be ok to share that beautiful poem on my other blog and facebook page www.godisdogspeltbackwards.blogspot.co.uk - it is just so apt. Warm wishes, Julia xx

Jules - that would be great. I love the concept and sentiment and everything about this verse.

I felt others would feel the same.

Take care,
Bonnie
