Tyler,
You were a big handsome boy. Always there faithful, true, happy and loving. We were together from you being 6 weeks old until the last moment 11 years and 8 months later.
We enjoyed our long walks along with you swimming in the rivers and running through the woods.
You liked the play time on the sofa with both mam and I tickling your tummy.
You loved little treats and even helped yourself on occasions.
Our bond was so strong you even came with mam and me on our honeymoon.
Our parting was the hardest thing that both mam and I have ever experienced.
You brought us so much joy throughout our time together.
May you run in the fields of heaven pain free and strong again.
You will be missed by all of us but will always be in our hearts.
Love Dad and Mam xxx

A DOGGY PRAYER
I live among God's creatures now
In heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me, my friend
As I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash is a shooting star
My boundaries are the milky way
Where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my shepherd kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
And gentle breezes are rocking me
I dream the dreams of earthing
And how it used to be.
The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And milkbones line the walking ways
Just waiting to be found.
There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the "Best Of Breed".
For we're all winners in this place
We have no faults you see
And God passes out the ribbons
To each one--even me.
I drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.
At night I sleep in an angel's arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee.
So when your life on earth is spent
And you reach heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait.

Letter From Heaven.
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

No Words Can Stop The Heartache,
Or Stop a Silent Tear,
Or Take Away The Memories,
Of a pet We Loved So Dear.

Goodbye son, from your mam
I still can't believe you left us so soon, it was such a shock; but you were in pain and we couldn't stand it-we had to let you go.
We all miss you so much, you have left a big void in our lives, our family will never be the same.
You helped your dad and I get together; went on honeymoon with us, and your calmness calmed Kelly down so much that she had a better quality of life and she came off her heart tablets.
You had loads of fun playing and bringing up Skye, and eventually bonded with Storm, although you found it strange not being the boss anymore. They all miss you, even Charlie,-who looks for you.
The treats drawer is a little emptier and no one sits guard anymore, telling us 'there are treats in there!' We still look to fill the four bowls with food but now only need three. Skye laid in your spot in the kennel a couple of weeks ago telling us that she missed you too.
We'll miss you on our walks even though you were slowing down and couldn't go quite as far as you used to but you still loved going down the woods, around the riverbanks and through the town. We'll really miss you on our holidays, we all loved to explore new places together and get lovely treats afterwards.
You were our special lad and we knew when you wanted hugs and kisses and when you wanted to left alone. You would giggle in you own way when you did.
Your dad is heartbroken and it kills me to see him so upset, but it was his love for you and for dogs which brought us together and I thank you for that.
We don't know how we would have coped without you but for Skye, Kelly, Storm and Charlie- we have used our love for you to share between the others, we know that would make you happy.
Our memories give us so much joy and laughter: a few that have a place in our hearts are: when you crawled up your dad's bed when you were a pup and laid your head on his pillow; when you jumped out of the back of the cabriolet and your dad said 'look, there's a dog just like Tyler!' When you got caught in the brambles when you were chasing rabbits and your dad had to rescue you; your first swim in the river Wear; when you helped yourself to our tea off the kitchen bench (and then were sick! Did you learn your lesson?!)When you and Kelly came to Melbreak and you both ran around and around the house, jumping up at the stable door and going on a really long walk with your dad and I in the Lake District.
You know we miss you and have found it so hard because you were the first one to leave us and it was much too soon, we weren't prepared.
We love you and always will, Cheryl
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends, so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms, you think I am gone forever.
You recall how I looked when I left this place, and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you... me..............
I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us forever by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead?
.................
You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories, which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.
I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
.............
I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate.
Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.
Until we meet again...

(Passage from UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN)
RIP Tyler x x
I Thought I Saw You Here Today
We were so very close, we two
but I had to let you go
I hope that you can understand
it was because I loved you so.
No more pain, no aching limbs
no earthly ties that bind
No dimming eyes, no sleepless nights
you've left them all behind
I lost you many months ago,
and gained a broken heart
Yet I feel you close to me
although we are apart
Sometimes when I'm all alone,
I feel you by my side,
As if to try and comfort me,
through all the nights I've cried
I thought I saw you here today,
out the corner of my eye,
Felt soft brown fur against my skin,
heard the faintest sigh.
So wait for me at Rainbow Bridge
Until we meet once more
then we will walk together again
through Heaven's open door...

A Tribute to your pet dog
When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name."
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said,
"Dear Lord,there's not one left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend
Our Big Boy
You were the best thing in our lives.
You brought joy to us everyday.
For 11 years and 8 months you made each day a happy day with your wagging tail and cheeky ways.
The walking holidays with you were special and the fact you came on our honeymoon was extra special.
You were everything that I ever wanted in friend, loyal, faithful and true.
I remember when your mam and I got together and she brought Kelly into the relationship. You thought it was great. Kelly became calm after you showed her that bangs were nothing to be frightened of.
Then Skye came along and you looked after her as if she was your own puppy.
This was just you being the gentlemen that you were.
You will always be missed but always in our hearts.
Love Dad and Mam xx
