I lost a treasured friend today 


The little dog who used to lay 
Her gentle head upon my knee 
And shared her silent thoughts with me. 


With her teddy

She’ll come no longer to my call 
Retrieve no more her favourite ball 
A voice far greater than my own 
Has called her to his golden throne. 


 Sasha and Gracie 2004



Summer 2004

Although my eyes are filled with tears 
I thank him for the happy years 
He let her spend down here with me 
And for her love and loyalty. 


Christmas 2004

When it is time for me to go 
And join her there, this much I know 
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with a bark. 



Sasha
"Our Girl"
April 2004 ~ May 2010


It is a sad day at our house today.
My daughter is home from school.
The message I left on the
attendance line when asked
to explain the illness
was simply
"heartsick."


My parents believe that
Sasha died of a heart attack.
She just turned six years old.
I know those of you who
have shared your lives with
pets know that they
will cross the Rainbow Bridge
someday.....


But it is incredibly difficult
to see them go.


Hug your favorite pet today
and perhaps give them
that extra treat
for Sasha {who would eat anything!}
a truly treasured friend.
