                        VALENTINA

 

There You were, The perfect spotted puppy

You stole my heart and I took You home

I never thought I'd be so lucky

With You by my side I was never alone

You romped and played and squirmed and squiggled

Bit my sleeves and Oh how I giggled

You grew and grew and became so BIG

And my what big holes you could dig

You chewed and chewed and chewed things up

But boy you were one smart pup

You learned obedience and some tricks

And also gave me loving licks

We went for walks and had many talks

In the kitchen You would lay at my feet

There is no better company that I could keep

You fetched your toy and You were such a joy

You were the Dog of my Dreams

And you gave me "Dane Leans"

You were the most beautiful Dog, the prettiest I've ever seen

A bond like this I could have never forseen

You were the light of my life and completed my soul

But before I knew it I realized You were getting old

You comforted me when I was sick and Wow the time went by really quick

Then one day I discovered that you were sick

I tried to help You stay but it didn't turn out that way

My heart began to ache and I knew the step I had to take

You gave me all your Love but now You are up above

My world feels lonely now

I wish I could hug you again somehow

The Love that we shared is something that will last forever

I won't forget You, never ever

At Rainbow Bridge You will be restored

Back to the strong and healthy Dog that I adored

VALENTINA was your name

And without You my world will never be the same

 

I Love You My Sweet Valentina

Written with Immense Love from your Mommy

A beautiful poem. The emotions just threaten to swamp you, don't they? Writing is cathartic and a good way to let some of your feelings out and share your love for your baby with others. Well done.

Beth and Spirit Smilin' Sammy

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011
Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.

We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.

They definitely leave a bottomless hole in your heart. But she would want you to look to the future and find a way to get your smile back. Of that I'm certain. I don't know about your Valentina, but Rio was all about finding a way to make me smile. Even now, missing her as I do, with that ache that seem infinite, I only need to think of her to find another smile.
