Ally was the first dog we adopted as a couple. We went to these run down kennels near Melton Mowbray and he was curled up in a ball in a cold concrete kennel. He was the only dog that did not get up to come to the door of his kennel - he just lay att eh back and didn't even lift his head. He had been defeated by life. We looked at him, skin and bones, and knew we could not leave him there. The kennels told us he was 8 and had been found as a stray.
Driving him home, he climbed into my lap and gave my hand a lick!
We took him to the vets as he was skin and bone and we wanted to know his health, and the vets told us he was more like 14!! Not that that would have changed anything...we loved him! He had 3 weeks of comfort and warmth and love. he slept on the sofa and ate chicken and scrambled eggs. short walks to give him fresh air. He was delightful, everyone who met him feel in love, sometimes he would cower from things, like when we had to tow the car and got some rope out, he went mad...it all tells a sad story :( But he was licky and loving towards us.
But something wasn't right, he was very poorly, vomiting alot, and wasn't even starting to put on weight. Eventually the vets discovered he was riddled with cancer and had been for a long time. We can't know for sure, but we think his previous owners had found out, didn't want to treat him and thrown him out? Who knows.
3 weeks after giving him a home our little Ally was sent to rainbow bridge, to live happily and pain free until we meet him there in the future. Holding him as he was PTS, I cried as if he had been ours since he was a pup, I wish he had, every dog deserves to know what love is.
I was so sad we only had him 3 weeks. I wanted to show him what real love could be, how a real home should be, as the poor thing looked like he had never experienced it. he was so undemanding and happy just to plod around after us, or curl up on the sofa or the bed by the radiator.
Well Ally, 3 weeks, months or years makes no odds to me, I fell in love with your wise old face as soon as I saw you. I only wish we had more time. I still think of you always. The price we pay for adopting older dogs is seeing many come and go...but you'll always hold a special place in my heart
Love you precious boy xxxxx

♥ THE GOLDEN GATE ♥
DIM shadows gather thickly round,
and up the misty stair they climb,
The cloudy stair that upward leads
to where the closed portals shine,
Round which the kneeling spirits
wait the opening of the Golden Gate.
♥☆♥
And some with eager longing go,
still pressing forward, hand in hand,
And some with weary step and slow,
look back where their Beloved stand —
Yet up the misty stair they climb,
led onward by the Angel Time.
♥☆♥
As unseen hands roll back the doors,
the light that floods the very air
Is but the shadow from within,
of the great glory hidden there —
And morn and eve, and soon and late,
the shadows pass within the gate.
♥☆♥
As one by one they enter in,
and the stern portals close once more,
The halo seems to linger round
those kneeling closest to the door:
The joy that lightened from that place
shines still upon the watcher's face.
♥☆♥
The faint low echo that we hear of
far-off music seems to fill
The silent air with love and fear,
and the world's clamours all grow still,
Until the portals close again,
and leave us toiling on in pain.
♥☆♥
Complain not that the way is long —
what road is weary that leads there?
But let the Angel take thy hand,
and lead thee up the misty stair,
And then with beating heart await,
the opening of the Golden Gate.

In Memory
Happy little Memories
Go flitting though our mind,
And in our thoughts and memories,
you always seem to find,
The picture of their face,
The memory of their touch,
And all the little things about them
you come to love so much.
They cannot go beyond our thoughts
or leave our love behind.
Because we keep them in our heart,
And forever on our my mind!
Keep My Memory
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day
When a furchild dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. Our furchildren may disappear from our lives, but they never really go away. Their spirits put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see the Rainbow Angels dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be napping. They paint the rainbows and the sunsets. They tug at the tide and make the waves splash. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us,
"Don't miss me too much. The view is nice, and I'm doing just fine."

I'm Not Gone
by Cynthia Slider
Did you feel that gentle breeze
Just brush across your cheek?
That was me, I'm not gone.
When the leaves start to fall
Gently drifting down
And a blanket of colors covers the ground
Watch and you'll see them moving around
That was me, I'm not gone.
When you go outside in the morning
And hear the birds welcome the new day
They are singing a special song for you
From me, I'm not gone.
If you pay attention and open your eyes
and your ears and your heart
I will send you signs that we're not apart
I am still with you, I'm not gone.
And when your time on earth
Nears its end you will find me
Waiting with open arms to greet you
And you will know that I never left
I'm right here waiting, I'm not gone.
Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.
Allys mum & dad
To Allys mum & dad. I know the pain you go through when you say goodbye. My Meg is at Rainbow Bridge too. You gave your love for 3 weeks and that was an amazing thing - so many would pass by an older dog. Three weeks of love and affection is worth so much. Thank you xxx
What a gorgeous dog!
What a sad sad story of your life Ally - my dog too had to lead a sad and lonely life yet she managed to get to 15 still bless her! I hope you have met her as she died in the same year as you and that you are both happy now and playing together as all dogs should. Much love sweetheart xx
The time has come I think you know
the Lord is calling so I must go
I love you so much; I wish it wasn't so
I wish I could stay; I don't want to go
You're the best family a dog ever had
so kind and gentle, never mean or mad
I'll never forget the day that we met
I was so lucky to become your pet
You opened your door and showed me your heart
I'll never forget you; we'll never part
You loved me and cared for me over the years
you taught me everything and took away my fears
The Lord is calling now I must go
but before I go I want you to know
I know it hurts to lose a friend
but I'll be with you even at the end.
