This may have already been posted, but when I saw it today it made me think of all my Tripawd friends who have lost their beloved pets too and how we can all relate to his words.
Patricia & Mighty Atlas
Tears flowng.....soooooo beautiful. And delivered from the heart from an icon who always spoke to...and from..the heart.
I have my BOdie...my very, very senior Bodie, sittng by my side as I'm watchig thks. Many nights also feel Bodie starng at me ...sometimes, f I don't wake up with just sensing his gaze, he'll gently, ever so gently, touch my face with his paw. I rearrange myself so he can get in just the right sleeping position with me where we just "merge" back to sleep...both of us feeling very reassured. These moments are slipping away from us very fast now. This video means a lot.
Thank yo for sharing Patricia...very, very sweet.
Love,
Sally a d Happy Hannah

I loved Jimmy Stewart. Sweet poem. Thank
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
This is where we date ourselves. I remember watching that back then with my shelter adoptee, a feisty mixed terrier Jenny in college. A beautiful eloquent poem delivered by one of my favorites, jimmy Stewart an absolute gentlemen. Still as beautiful.
Esther and her Snoop
Thank you for sharing. That was beautiful.
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
One of the talk radio hosts here is a big dog guy, and he plays that from time to time. Always makes me weepy. Thank you for posting it <3

Oh how sweet. I love this poem and I love that he was getting teary on television. The pain we experience from loosing our furry best friends is so real, so raw. I hope with all the hope in the world, that one day we will all be re-united with our precious animals.
Thank you for sharing this.
With love to this wonderful community,
