About Sheba
Sheba became part of our family after i removed her as a pup from someone who had been neglecting her, she was just a few weeks old. At the time my youngest son was only 5mths old and they soon became best buddies and to this day my son misses her and often talks about our Sheebs.
You were the perfect dog Sheebs and we treated you like a baby, you'd refuse to eat biscuits unless they were broken up and hand fed to you. You loved laying on my lap, lifting my hand so i would smooth your coat, you also loved coming up to bed and sleeping at my feet, sometimes getting under the duvet. The only bad point about you was the fact you would run off if the front door was left open and on occasions stay out for days, even in the pouring rain. You hated the fireworks didn't you, you would cower and shake as soon as they started and the last bonfire night you were with us, you managed to get out and ran for miles. You turned up at a farm and thankfully the landowner contacted us and brought you home the next day.
You had a huge tumour on your leg but the vet said due to your age, it wouldn't be advisable to operate. You became very slow, sleeping for most of the time and the vet had said... Take her home, her heart is starting to fail! We kept you with us for as long as we could but we couldn't watch you fight for breath any longer and decided to send you to Rainbow Bridge with your beloved Snuggles on 18th March 2006. It broke all our hearts to say goodbye to you Sheebs but you had suffered enough.
Sleep tight Sheebs and Snuggles, now you're together forever. xxxxxxx
About Snuggles
I chose you from a litter of 6wk old kittens from a lady who was looking for good homes. You were a happy bundle of joy our Snugs and gave us 16yrs of companionship. You loved to sunbathe in the garden and it was this habit that was to take your life. Your ears started crusting up and bleeding, we took you to the vet who said you needed to have your ears amputated to save your life but the operation would cost £500 and sadly we couldn't afford that. I telephoned many places to try and get you the operation but no one was interested, not even the P.D.S.A even though i begged them to help you. I bathed your ears four times a day for several weeks but they were getting worse, they were now bleeding constantly and i couldn't put you through that any longer. I decided it was time to send you to Rainbow bridge! On the day i cradled you in my arms and cried into your fur, you just lay there looking up at me. I carried you into the vets and several people admired you, you were beautiful. Your name was called and i began to sob, you made no fuss as i stood you on the table, you seemed to understand what was happening, you didn't even cry out when the vet injected you, you just looked up at me and fell asleep. I craddled you in my arms for the last time Snugs and gave you a goodbye kiss.
I'm still calling your name Snugs, instead of Felix, Bumble, or Cuddles because i miss you so very much.
Rest peacefully with our Sheebs now sweetheart... Together forever! xxxxx

When the Time Comes
John Quealy
Lord, when the time comes please help me be strong
My furry friend is sick; something's terribly wrong
The vet checked her over; there's nothing he can do
I'm afraid soon I'll be sending her; home to You
Please take her back home; on the wings of a dove
Into Your loving arms; up in heaven above
Take her to a meadow; where she can play and run free
Under bright sunlight; among the green grass and trees
She's been a part of my life now; for so many years
I'll miss her so much; my eyes are filling with tears
Please give me the courage; to tell her good-bye
As I know She'll watch over me; through her loving eyes
I'll never forget her; I'll see her one day
Tell her we'll meet at the Bridge; then we'll go play
I'll cherish the memories; of the time we both had
they'll put a smile on my face; then I won't feel as bad
Sheba xxxx
If Only
If only things were different
If only you were here
If only I could hold your paw
I would know that you were near
If only I could say the words
I feel within my heart
If only you were with me love
We would never be apart.

♥ Our beautiful Sheebs ♥
Sheebs please watch over Craig for me today, he's heartbroken and so misses you. You were always his favourite pet and did everything together, he still talks about you and often says "mum do you remember how excited Sheebs got when we said walkies", you used to cry with excitement, bark at us until we got your lead down off the hook and then you'd run to the door waiting for us to open it.
You were our wonder dog Sheebs and we'll never forget you. ♥ xxx ♥
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.

❤ Nothing Gold Can Stay ❤
by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

WISHES
Copyright (2006) Kristin Sharer
We wish we could have told you,
in words you understand,
We wanted you to stay with us.
This wasn't what we planned.
We wish somehow to tell you,
how empty we now feel.
A part of us went with you,
a part that time can't heal.
We wish we had you back again,
to fill this empty space.
But one day we'll be together,
in a far, far better place.

♥Now you sit at Heaven's Gate
♥Waggin' your tail, you patiently wait
♥Until the time we meet again
♥When I have reached my journey's end.
♥Now I cried when you left that day
♥You weren't here to lick my tears away
♥Time will heal, my heart will mend
♥Tho’ you are missed...my beloved friend.
♥I have peace in knowing what lays in store
♥When I find myself at Heaven's door
♥My tears of joy shall fall that day
♥And you will lick my tears away.

~ Cat Heaven (by Cynthia Rylant) ~
The way to Cat Heaven is a field of sweet grass
where crickets and butterflies play.
A cat may be late getting to Heaven...
there is so much fun on the way!
But an angel will wait at the yellow front door
wait till a kitty comes home.
And when she arrives he'll give her a kiss and
some milk in a bowl of her own.
There are trees in Cat Heaven trees made just for cats,
trees growing so green and so high.
But no one gets stuck in a tree anymore--
if a cat wants down she will fly!
And oh all the toys kitty toys everywhere,
thousands and thousands go by.
There are buttons and baubles and
small catnip afloat in the sky!
There are angels of course with soft angel laps,
where kitties can purr loud and strong.
The angels will rub kitty’s noses and ears,
and sing them a Cat Heaven song.
And when cats are hungry there is God's kitchen counter
all covered with white kitty dishes,
full of tuna and salmon and mounds of sardines
and wonderful little pink fishes.
The cats in Cat Heaven are so loved and spoiled
God lets them all lie on his bed...
He walks in his garden with a good black book
and a kitty asleep on his head.
Then when a cat needs to she may simply ponder
and watch the blue world deep and wide....
she will watch the old house where she once lived and wandered,
and the people who loved her inside.
All cats love Heaven they know the way there
they know where the angel cats fly.
They will turn past the stars and the moon and the sun.....
to curl up with God in the sky.

♥ Unconditional Love ♥
(by Allison Chambers Coxsey)
A treasure to be cherished,
a gift from God above;
is the beauty of a friendship,
touched by unconditional love.
A love that asks no questions,
believes in all the best;
never doubting, ever trusting,
withstanding any test.
A love that weathers any storm,
and yet that love still stands;
through the very darkest hour,
it still reaches out a hand.
There in that hand the sweetest gift,
that you can give a friend;
a heart that cares, a love that shares,
that will be there till the end.
A treasure to be cherished,
a gift from God above;
is what I share with you my friend,
an unconditional love.

❁ OUR PATH NEVER ENDED ❁
(Author Unknown)
I walk in golden fields now,
my wondrous new place called home.
With flowers blooming everywhere,
on the path of our love I roam.
**********************************
Upon the doorstep of my life,
my journey reached its end.
My new home has an endless glow,
where heavenly rivers flow.
**********************************
With love I gather a sweet bouquet,
of flowers from the fields.
With love to you mommy,
whose joyfulness now yields.
**********************************
I am in a very special place,
where love will just increase.
A home that awaits you mom,
where we all find great peace.
**********************************
Right beyond sweet heaven's gate,
is a home beyond all dreams.
We walk in gardens filled with life
blessed with gentle crystal streams.
**********************************
Keep smiling like you always did,
when I walked into the room.
Joy fills this place where I wait,
Till your life with me resumes.
**********************************
Remembrances of our love you see,
like flowers scent a room.
Within our hearts, in memory,
our precious love shall bloom.

♥ ANOTHER LIT CANDLE ♥
(Author Unknown)
Our prayers are offered, our eyes wet with tears,
so sad when we hear this happening,
seems all of a sudden too many are passing.
We do what we can, but we aren’t the Great Maker.
He lends them to us, and they give us their love,
Its what they do best, it’s their gift from above.
Tonight, when you're grieving and missing her so,
just know you have friends,
some you don’t even know.
Our candles are burning,
to give her some light,
on her final last journey
as she goes home tonight.
Another lit candle to brighten her way,
another lit candle at the end of the day.
Our babies are family and try as we might,
seems nothing we say or do makes it feel alright.
Great Maker in Heaven, all angels and saints,
receive my dear baby, give her gladness and light.
Another lit candle to brighten her way,
another lit candle at the end of the day.
Our candles are burning
to give her some light,
on her final last journey,
as she goes home tonight.
AMEN
