"I live among God's creatures now in the heavens of your mind. So do not grieve for me, my friend for I am with my kind. My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash a shooting star. My boundaries are the Milky Way where I sparkle from afar. There are no pens or kennels here, and I am not confined. But free to roam God's heavens among my shepherd kind. I nap the day on a snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me. And dream the dreams of Earthlings and how it used to be. The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound. And Milk bones line the walkways 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 those 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 stand at Heaven's gate, have no fear of loneliness for here, you know I wait." ~author unknown

BUTCH 1986 - July 15, 2002 
Missed so very much by Mary Ann Held Lodi, NJ |
Butch was adopted from BCAS in October, 1988. The shelter had no background info on him because he was a stray, but he was friendly, lovable, and very active. Apparently, he'd been living on the streets for a while because he was VERY creative in finding food... even in locked cabinets. For weeks, we had a new disaster almost every day. My relatives called him "The Dog From Hell". For some reason, his enthusiasm terrified them. Butch graduated from the shelter's obedience class sometime in 1989, and it made a tremendous difference. Recently, I met a young couple at the vet's office. They had a collie mix also adopted from BCAS. Seeing that dog reminded me of my early days with Butch. He was, to say the least, exuberant. The wife sadly told me they were thinking of surrendering him back to the shelter because he barked, jumped, got into things, and wouldn't settle down. I asked if they'd ever consider training, and she said, "Oh, no, it wouldn't work now. We've had him for five years." I told her it was never too late, and recommended she call the shelter to find out the schedule. My Butch is a prime example of why you should never, ever give up on a pet. He's sixteen years old now, kind of stiff from arthritis, and losing his eyesight, but he's still the same, lovable goof he was when I chose him in 1988. I'll forever be grateful to BCAS for Butch. |

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and warm Spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. But there is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one runs from the group. You have been seen. When you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again. You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. (unknown author) |

I stood by your bed last night I came to have a peek I could see that you were crying You found it hard to sleep I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear "It's me, I haven't left you I'm well - I'm fine - I'm here" I was close to you at breakfast I watched you pour the tea You were thinking of the many times your hand reached down to me I was with you at the shops today Your arms were getting sore I longed to take your parcels I wish I could do more I was with you at my grave today You tend it with such care I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there I walk with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key I gently put my paw on you I smiled and said, "it's me" You looked so very tired and sank into a chair I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there It's possible for me to be so near you every day To say to you with certainty "I never went away" You sat there very quietly then smiled, I think you knew in the stillness of that evening I was very close to you The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "goodnight - God bless I'll see you in the morning" And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side I have so many things to show you there is so much for you to see Be patient - Live your journey out then come home to be with me ~author unknown
