I would like to tell you a little bit about my precious fur baby Jake, who crossed Rainbow Bridge on
the 12th May 2007 due to contracting Wells disease from our local fishing lake.
My eldest daughter took Jake there for a walk and let him drink from the lake. One week later Jake
started to go off his food. Two weeks later he stopped eating despite me trying him with all sorts
of different food, even baby food! Despite numerous trips to the vets there was nothing they could
do for him and I took the hardest decision of my life that evening in the vets surgery. I had to
let my precious boy go. I lay on the floor cradling his head, talking to him all the time and
telling him that it was ok to leave me now and that I would be alright, I managed to cradle my baby
boy until the end. I cradled Jake's head until his last breath had gone. I still feel guilty to
this day but I couldnt let him suffer just because I dident want to let go of him.
Jake was a rhodesian ridgeback cross pitbull so was a big dog. Jake was my shadow and if I moved
then he moved. He was always by my side. Jake was my soul mate.
Jake lost so much weight towards the end and his skin turned yellow. He just kept lying down near
the back door staring out into the garden and to the patio where he would always lie. On the last
morning of Jake's life with me, I put his duvet on the floor for him to lie on at the back door and
covered him over with a sheet in case he got cold. I lay there with him for 2 hours.
I had a private cremation for Jake and he is now with me forever.
Here is the link to Jake's full story from when he was a pup to his last day -

Night night Jake
Miss you so much my fur-baby
Love
Mum

I would like to say a heart felt thankyou to everybody who lights a candle for Jake and for all the
tributes that have been left. I find it hard some days to come here and it is very comforting to
know that other people are holding the fort during the days that I am too sad to visit my baby boy.
Kisses to everybody from myself and my baby - Jake

The Promise
To each and every faithful friend
With whom we stayed until the end
Rest in peace while we explain
That one day we will meet again
If we were not there and so did fail
To see the last wag of your tail
Our love for you will never wane
Forgive us, please, when we meet again
We were with your presence blessed
Your ample heart, which won the quest
For beauty, flowing in your vein
Will see the day we meet again
You gave us many happy years
Departing, with us crying tears
We pray that you were without pain
And promise that we will meet again
Greater friends we will not make
You are they that give not take
Perchance we have some more to gain
Until the day we meet again
When that day comes and we all meet
May you once more rise to your feet
To walk with us in sun not rain
And fulfil the promise to meet again

Love You More
Do I love you
to the moon and back?
No I love you
more than that
I love you to the desert sands
the mountains, stars
the planets and
I love you to the deepest sea
and deeper still
through history
Before beyond I love you then
I love you now
I’ll love you when
The sun’s gone out
the moon’s gone home
and all the stars are fully grown
When I no longer say these words
I’ll give them to the wind, the birds
so that they will still be heard
I love you

DREAMS
Dreams are where you relive memories,
a special time gone forever.
Dreams can take you to far away places,
that are only there while you sleep.
Dreams can make you smile or make you cry,
but when you wake you must say good-bye.
Dreamers can be what they want to be.
Dreamers are you and me.
Dreams are where you can see things,
that can no-longer be.
Dreams can take me to you,
no-matter where you are.
Dreams can make me smile or make me cry,
I never want to wake if I have to say good-bye.
Dreams can let me see you,
To touch you and hold you.
That's the only time I can be with you.
That's all I have left of you.
But I'll see you tonight in my dreams.
by Leslie D. Green
Remember Me
Remember me when roses bloom
And Spring returns again ---
For I am ever present in your midst
In the dawn and in the wind ---
You mustn't think I've gone away
For good - Instead remember me
The way I was in better days
The way it used to be ----
Remember me as I am now
Alive, at peace, and free ---
There is no place for sorrows past
Is just a lost memory ----
For life derives its' purest joy
In living day to day ---
Follow what I've taught you
And REMEMBER ME, this way .....
~~~~Dorothy Womack~~~~
WITHOUT YOU
The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
There’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down & cried.
We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without...

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

My Heart
looking into the sky at night,
I look at this one star
it reminds me of how close yet
far apart we are.

Always Missing You
by Heather Clark
As the days continue to pass
The feeling of missing you only gets stronger.
The tears only fall harder
and the pain continues to linger
my thoughts become more scattered
the nightmares become more real
And the emptiness only gets deeper
My heart stays on you
while this lonely life becomes less meaningful
And regardless of what goes on
all i can do is miss you
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand
Watching till she fades on the horizon
And someone at my side says,
She is gone.
Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
She is just as large as when I saw her.
The diminished size and total loss of sight
Is in me, not in her,
And just at the moment
When someone at my side says
She is gone
There are others who are watching her coming,
And other voices take up a glad shout
There she comes!
And that is dying
