A Poem to think about

[bunny]

My dog(Haribo) died 3weeks ago he was bitten to death by other dogs.
I will never forget him he was alway there for me when I needed him. I tought I have to post this poem because it helped me alot and maby it can help others to.

Dedicated to Haribo

You can shed tears that he has gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you cannot see him
Or you can be full of love that you have shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he has gone
Or you an cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want, smile, and open your eyes
And love and go on.

I am sorry to hear that you lost your friend, but am happy you posted this poem, as I think that is what he would have wanted you to do ... to go on. As hard as it is at times to do so, but he will always be there in your memories.
And I really liked the name you picked for him, "Haribo" brings back many memories of good things in my life and all of them sweet.

Thanx Graehstone for your kind words it really helped.
I will try to move on for his sake because I know that he would want me to.
I'll never forget him.

Dear Bunny.
Tht was the most beatiful poem I've ever read. That was the same way that I felt about my Two Late hermit crabs. Thank You for posting that poem
Sincerly,

Last year, my cat was killed in my front yard by dogs that lived across the road. She was just lounging on the driveway in the sun............But that's not the horrible part.

The sad part is that she was still alive when the dog owner called his dogs back. He took my cat out of the dog's mouth and snapped her neck to kill her - she was badly mauled. But that's not the horrible part.....

The horrible part that haunts me is that he just threw her in the garbage bin. I didn't know at the time, or I would have retrieved her. It was too late before we found out the truth. That truth came via an anonymous letter in the mail from another neighbour who saw the event happen.

We have a little gnome standing in the part of the garden where Kitty used to hide and watch the world go by.

She wasn't a piece of garbage to be thrown away, or to be dismissed with a comment 'she's just a stupid cat'. Yes, that is what the dog owners said.

:(

Love is love.

Hi Noddy Boit
I am sorry,I don't know how people can be so cold blooded and cruelle.

[BLC]

How dare he do that! It is just so sad how cruel and monstrous people can be!

Noddy Boit and everyone,
I am so sorry for your losses.

I came across this poem and it truly helped me.

I lost my Silly, my cockatiel of 13 years, a week ago today.

This poem captures a lot of how I feel.
Thank you.
