DOG

When God had made the earth and sky, The flowers and the trees
He then made all the animals, The fish, the birds and bees. And when at last He'd finished, Not one was quite the same.He said, "I'll walk this world of mine, And give each one a name."

And so He traveled far and wide And everywhere He went, A little creature followed Him Until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth And in the sky and sea, The little creature said, "Dear Lord, There's not one left for me." Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front And called you dog, my friend.


  Marg & Hamish .... So many on here  will be able to identify with you at this time please remember Angus will never be far from your thoughts

Marg I am so sorry to hear this news - I know how much you cared for him - I am thinking of you and Hamish
lots of - thinking of you

Oh Mac that's lovely.  I'm in floods of tears and can only imagine what Marg is going through.  Angus was as much a part of the Towers as we are.  We fed him  and waited while Marg brought him & Hamish out for a 'walk' and could nearly hear them yapping at the snowman the kids next door built.  So much fun with a little dog we never even saw.  
Loving thoughts going out to our Sweet Marguerita and lots of extra  for Hamish.

am so sorry Marg

Mac that poem has bought a tear to my eyes

Aww..It didn't sound too good when you first posted.Off to rainbow bridge for Angus,that's where our pets wait for us...blubs!

Bless you Marg Look after yourself

Marg...

so sorry for your loss

Marg
So sorry for your loss hun, I was hoping for better news
You did the right thing for Angus - the most loving thing you can do for a companion animal when the time comes is to let them go no matter how painful it is for you.


You know, I can never see a snowman now without thinking of your dogs and smiling at how they hated that one that the kids next door had built. I'm sure you have lots and lots of happy memories
Thinking of you and Hamish

Sorry I didn't see this before and sorry it's been sad news . Lots of love Marg

Marguerita, I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Angus. You have loved him all of his life, and releasing him from any pain and suffering was an act of love and kindness.
I will be thinking of you and Hamish.

Marg, I am so, so, sorry to read this - I have not been here for a while so had no idea about Angus.


Remember all the good times

So sorry Marg to hear this terrible news....  

Marg Sorry to hear your sad news

For Marguerite. . . . . .

The Last Battle

If it would be that I grow frail and weak,

and pain should keep me from my sleep,

then you must do what must be done

for this last battle cant be won.

 

You will be sad, I understand,

don't let the grief then stay your hand,

for this day more than all the rest

your love and friendship stand the test.

 

We've had so many happy years,

what is to come can hold no fears.

You'd not want me to suffer so;

when the time comes, please let me go.

 

Take me where my needs they'll tend

and stay with me until the end.

Hold me firm and speak to me

until my eyes no longer see.

 

I know in time you will see

It is a kindness you do for me.

Although my tail its last was waved,

from pain and suffering I've been saved.

 

Don't grieve that it should be you,

who must decide this thing to do,

We've been so close, we two, these years;

Don't let your heart hold any tears.

 

Smile, for we walked together for a little while.

One last word of farewell, dear master and mistress. Whenever you visit my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long happy life with you: "Here lies one who loves us and whom we loved." No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you, and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail.      xxxxxx   Marge I am thinking of you, and Hamish.       God bless Angus .  x

Marg wish I could do something but can't, I know it hurts terribly. Love and hugs

Oh Marg, im so sorry only just read the whole thread. I actually got tears running down my cheeks too.

Big hugs for you xxxx

Oh, Marge, I am so very sorry

Love and hugs to you and Hamish

RIP Angus

Thinking of you Marg and Hamish 

Such sad news. Marg ...........I don't think I've ever posted with you but I am truly sorry for your loss. Very sad

I'm so sorry to hear of your sad loss Marge. I know too well and too often how heartbreaking it is. My thoughts and love are with you and Hamish, and also dear Angus now out of pain and in a beautiful realm bless him.xxxxxx

So sorry to hear the sad news about Angus, Margie . It must be heartbreaking for you losing such a beloved wee doggie. You gave Angus a wonderful life + lots of love. Will be thinking of you and Hamish.. Sympathies  xxxxx

How are you doing Marguerite?  You have been on my mind since I heard the news about poor Angus.  I hope Hamish is coping without his little best pal.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello Everyone Hello Annoca I was not in a good place as yourself and others who have been in the same place will understand,I could never take Angus and Hamish a walk together as I could not cope my son in law took them for their walks,I got out of bed sunday morning Hamish was very depressed I felt helpless and sad as I knew all my crying was not helping him,I got his lead and took him for a walk my intention was a short walk I just kept walking and walking and was out for ages something happened on that walk I dont know quite what when I came home I felt so much stronger,Hamish and I went to my daughters for dinner were he met his cousin Molly they were never introduced before as I always felt it could go wrong and perhaps Angus and Hamish would get jealous or worse,they took to each other straight away and after an hour I could not believe that Hamish started playing with her I was so happy to see his spirits lifted,when we came home he was so tired and slept most of the night, this morning he  has gone very quiet again it will take time for him to grieve,I said to my daughter how long did she think it would take Hamish to grieve she said how long is a piece of string, which is true,I am going to take him for a walk shortly Annoca Small Mac and Stoory I loved your doggy poems thank you so much, and once again thank you all for your amazing support

Hi Marg..... So nice to see you back, it's not going to be any easy road, but your strength will carry you through and you've crossed the first hurdle by taking Hamish out, just try and be strong for Hamish, god bless you both......

Marguerita, I am so pleased you felt able to post today. It is early days for you and Hamish, and it is natural that he will still be missing Angus.
I think Angus would have been happy to see you and Hamish going out for a walk together, and to see Hamish playing with Molly. He would want you to remember all your happy times together, and to continue making happy memories with Hamish.
Never forget Marguerita, there are lots of people here who care about you, and understand how you feel. Love to you and Hamish.
