RIP Dodo
I have to let you go.
I have to be cruel to be kind to you.
You have been in my life for the past 14 years.
We slept together,
We ate together,
We play together,
But it's time for you to leave.
I will have you in my hearts forever.
You will always be with me in my soul.
I will never get another dog to replace you or BeBe.
Say hi to Bebe for me when you see her tonight.
RIP Dodo...
P.S. One day I may have the courage to put both your pix here. I don't know when. But not now.
A Parting Prayer
Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.
Assign her to a place of honor,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.
Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her
by sharing those memories with others.
Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.
Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.
And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.
Amen.

Note: DoDo is my 13 years old Pomeranian and BeBe was my 12 years old Poodle. Bebe died last October unexpectedly due to tumor in the late which we discovered too late. DoDo who is BeBe's mother is 6 months older. She is getting too old, blind in one eye and limbing. Just got news from my brother (my 2 dogs stayed with my brother in Melbourne) that the Vet is going to put her down tonight. Sob...Sob...Sigh... I need a hug.
This is for BeBe and DoDo. This sound always give me peace. By Leann Rimes.
Amazing Grace Lyrics
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
