My 1st dog [ PRINCE ] had just died in the January of 1995, I found it difficult living without a dog by my side. My husband at the time had said he would buy me a pedigree dog so I bought some dog magazines to read up on different breeds.

I had 3 breeds in mind a Red Setter, a Long Haired Collie [ Lassie dog ] or a Labrador. As I was brought up around Lab's my husband suggested I stick with the breed I knew, so one of the dog magazine's had an article in about a Labrador Rescue Society called Northwest Lab Rescue. We applied and in the March of 1995 I got a phone call from Glenys who ran the Society, she said we have a 3 year old Black lab male if you want to adopt him, but he dos'nt like cats and gets excited when greeting.

I said yes we would have him. We then went to Leigh because the owner was traveling from Cumbria with him and we would meet up at one of the kennals lab rescue used for rehomeing.

There were 4 Labs in the kennals [ 3 Black and 1 Golden ] when we got there we were told Callum was the one with the collar on. While we were paying the £60 to adopt him and fill in an adoption form the owner who drove all the way from Cumbria to give him up was still around near her car, she came over to us crying that started me off as well, she said take care of him he's my baby I have no children, I said I will we have no children either.

From that day he settled into his new home and he went everywhere with us and like Prince he loved going to Southport going in the sea and playing with a frizbee.

I split from my husband in 2000 but I kept Callum. Within 3 years I was married to my second husband who fell in love with Callum stright away, Callum would follow him round like his shadow.

Then in 2004 he was suffering with arthritis he started to slow down and finding it hard to get up the stairs, he started to look up the stairs if you was upstairs crying and whimpering knowing he could not make it.

The next year September [05] his back legs had gone he could not get up and when he did manage to get up he was walking side ways like he'd had a stroke or something.

I knew it was time to have him put to sleep so my brother and my husband took him to the vets yet again I could not go knowing that he was going for good. I sat in the hall with him on his bed saying my goodbyes untill it was time to take him the vets. The vet confirmed that he had, had a mini stroke.

We had him cremated and we have his ashes in a nice wooden casket with a brass nameplate with his name on.

....Feathers from Heaven
∗""""""∗""""""∗"""""∗""""""∗

White feathers fall from Heaven
Theyre from the ones we love
All the beauty that they hold
Just like the Heavenly Dove

∗"""""∗"""""∗"""""∗"""""∗

Theyre left so we can find them
Angels send them from above
They know we're sad and lonely
And still they send their love

Save your pure White Feather
It helps you with your fear
Sent from your precious Angel
To let you know theyre always near

It is lonely here without you
,I miss you more each day,
For life is not the same to me,
Since you were called away.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
I would pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.xxx

In Peace Go Home -

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love

Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait

For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more

Love Always Ann & Oscar...xXx

Grow Old With Dogs


When I am old...
I will wear soft gray sweatshirts...
and a bandana over my silver hair.....
and I will spend my social security checks on wine and my dogs.

I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair
and listen to my dogs' breathing.
I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night
and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow...

When people come to call, I will smile
and nod as I show them my dogs...
and talk of them and about them...
...the ones so beloved of the past
and the ones so beloved of today....

I will still work hard cleaning after them,
mopping and feeding them and
whispering their names in a soft loving way.

I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat,
like a jewel and I will be an embarrassment to all...
especially my family...
who have not yet found the peace in being free
to have dogs as your best friends....

These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall...
and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep,
to greet you as if you are a God.

With warm eyes full of adoring love and hope
that you will always stay,
I'll hug their big strong necks...
I'll kiss their dear sweet heads...
and whisper in their very special company....

I look in the Mirror...and see I am getting old....
this is the kind of person I am...and have always been.
Loving dogs is easy,
they are part of me.

Please accept me for who I am.
My dogs appreciate my presence in their lives...
they love my presence in their lives......
When I am old this will be important to me...
you will understand when you are old....
if you have dogs to love too.

Dancing Butterfly...........

The beautiful butterfly came dancing by,
Then she flew way up into the clear blue sky.
She was dancing and she was wonderful and proud
This my darling was surely a sign that you were around.

Her wings were made of pure white lace
She was flying free, she danced right past my face
Her beauty was so clear for all of us to see
I know she was a wonderful gift from you to me.

Thank you sweet Angel for your gift of love
I know you sent it down from heaven above
A dancing butterfly to make me smile
To show your spirit lives on is so worthwhile ......

Pictures


A journey captured in moments rare ~
just a flash of memory.
Images pressed within the heart ~
life's pages bare to see.

An instant fleeting through endless time,
now paused as shutters fall.
Those moments caught within a frame ~
a life of pictures on the wall.

Tiny fragments of mindless joy
displayed with dreams to last.
Silhouetted within the soul,
cherished now ~ beneath the glass.

A life of pictures on the wall,
inanimate ~ yet so alive.
Living, breathing ~ in still-life form,
within the mind they thrive.

A touch, a kiss, a carefree smile,
a dance beneath the sun ~
along the sand and ebbing tide
as fading shadows run.

Wedded laughter ~ eternal bliss,
a birth ~ or two, or three ~
Reminiscent breaths now gone
of those whose souls fly free.

An instant fleeting through endless time,
now paused as shutters fall.
Sharing life's long journey ~
reaching far beyond the wall.

A journey captured in moments rare ~
just a flash of memory.
Images pressed within the heart ~
life's pages bare to see.

SHELTERING WINGS

All around you are the friends of other days.
They are hidden from your view, nor can you hear the voices that in long ago you knew so well.
And yet the silence and the solitude is full of kindly thought and sheltering wings.
For love can span the years that lie between the loss of dear ones and the ever-present Now; and when you think of them the spirit wakes again and all unseen, they answer to your call.

♥ღೋâ•â•â•♥ღ

HEARD IN THE SILENCE

In the lonely land, where unspoken thought is like the distant voice of a half remembered dream, there is no silence.
For the spirit, in touch with the Infinite, hears the music of the soul throb through the stillness, while dawn's gleaming silver and sunset's crimson glow deck the stage of heaven for the stars to sing.
And in the loneliness we begin to understand the harmony of living.
