Kind of Aunt. Sundae was our family pet since I was 11, but after I moved out she wa sobviously my
mums dog, as they were so close the two of them.

we adopted Sundae when she was 6 months old. she was a gorgeous dog, so lovng and fun, chasing the
sun and moon out of the garden and hot air balloons.

Her arthritis became so much she couldn't even stand. we knew her quality of life was not as it
should be, but Sundae will forever be loved and missed, and her ashes still rest in my mum's living
room, along with my brother's ashes that have since been brought home (he passed away 15 December)
Together in heaven, Joe winding sundae up "whassat???" would set her off barking.

Love you sundae, take care of my brother for me xxx

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.

Message From Valhalla
You were with me to the very end and even after I had "gone" you held me, and as my soul left my body and I looked down and saw you crying, I wanted so much to tell you that I understood. You did this for me.

I tried to tell you in my own way that it was time for me to leave, and I thank you for understanding. No other will take my place, but those I left behind will need your love and affection as I have had.

You still think of me, and there are times you try to hide your tear-filled eyes....but please...be happy and think not of sadness, but of how I made you happy and made you laugh at the funny and smart things I did.

There are no fences in Valhalla, for no one has the desire to "dig out".

There are no thunderstorms in Valhalla, therefore fear is never present.

There are no fights in Valhalla. Everyone is congenial.

There is no hunger. There is no thirst. There is much to explore. Many of us who are older take care of the little ones and guide them. It's fun watching them run with their ears flopping and their curly tails wagging.

We have four seasons in Valhalla, and most of us agree, winter is our favorite.

So you see, my loved one, I am very happy...

When it comes time for my friends to leave, I will meet them at the gates of Valhalla, and I will acquaint them with this beautiful and serene place, and I will take care of them for you.

Thank you for loving me, caring for me, and having the courage to let me go with dignity.

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.

a year today

a year...can't believe it...love you Sundae, hope you and Joe are happy together xxx

Danielle Benyon-Payne (Owner) February 4, 2009

dear Sundae

your ashes sit in the living room and now they are joined by joe. you and Joe had so many happy years together from when he was 13 till 27. and you both left this earth in 2008. Did he pick you up from the bridge on the way through to heaven. do you run around with him now, no longer crippled by arthritis? Take care of jasper too, but together, all of you, watch over us...give Joe lots of doggy hugs as he's new up there and may feel alone. I shall imagine him saying "what's that" in that silly voice which would make you run out the door to chase away whatever was in the sky, be it sun, moon, hot air balloon!

Love you xxx

the hardest decision xx

If it should be that I grow weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep
then you must do what must be done
for we know this battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand
but don't let grief then stay your hand
for this day more than the rest,
your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer? So
when the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
only stay with me until the end
and hold me firm and speak to me
until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see
the kindness that you did for me
although my tail it's last has waved
from pain and suffering I have been saved.

Please do not grieve, it must be you
who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

(written by CG, 1995)

With Love xxx
Treasured Friend



I lost a treasured friend today

The little dog who used to lay

His gentle head upon my knee

And shared his silent thoughts with me.


He’ll come no longer to my call

Retrieve no more his favourite ball

A voice far greater than my own

Has called him to his golden throne.


Although my eyes are filled with tears

I thank him for the happy years

He let him spend down here with me

And for his love and loyalty.


When it is time for me to go

And join him there, this much I know

I shall not fear the transient dark

For he will greet me with a bark.

For Sundae, xxx.

Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he'll be waiting at your door.

Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
that’s all he'll ask of Thee.

This Beautiful poem was left for me by Marion Madden, Now i leave it for you,xx.
