A Gift From God

God promised at the birth of time
a special friend to give

"His time on earth is short" he said
"So love him while he lives"

"It may be as long as sixteen years
or as short as two or three

But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me"?

"A wagging tail and cold wet nose
and silken velvet ears

A heart as big as all outdoors
to love you through the years"

His puppy ways will gladden you
his antics make you smile

As guardian or friend he will
be loyal all the while"

"He'll bring his charms to grace your life
and though his stay be brief

When he's gone the memories
will be solace for your grief"

"I cannot promise how long he'll stay
since all from earth return

But lessons only a dog can teach
I want you each to learn"

Whatever love you give to him
returns in triple measure

Follow his lead and gain a life
brim full of simple pleasure"

Enjoy each day as it comes
allow your heart to guide

Be loyal and steadfast in love
as the dog there by your side"

"Now will you give him all your love
nor think the labor vain

Nor hate me when I come to call
to take him back again?"

I fancy each of us would say
"Dear Lord, thy will be done

For all the joy he'll bring to us
the risk of grief we'll run"

"We'll shelter him with tenderness
we'll love him while we may

And for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay."

"But shall the angels call for him
much sooner than we've planned

A TALE FOR A BREEDER

I love my little puppy, he makes my house a home, he always is my best friend, I never feel alone. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he fills my heart with love. Did some breeder breed him? Was he sent from heaven above?

I've never been a breeder, or seen life through their eyes. I hold my little puppy, just sit and criticize. I've never know their anguish, I've never felt their pain, the caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain. I've never waited all night long for puppies to be born, the stress and trepidation when they're still not there by dawn...

I've never felt the heartache of a little life in my hands, a darling little puppy who weighs just a few grams!! Should you do this instead of that? Or just pray to God? Alone you fight, and hope one day he'll grow into a dog, bring joy to another being and make a house a home. You know it's all just up to you, you fight this fight alone.

Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right. Two hourly feeds for this little mite throughout the day and night. In your heart you know it, you'll surely lose the fight to save this little baby, but God willing, you just might save the little mite....

Day one he's in there fighting. You say a silent prayer. Day two and three he's doing well, with lots of loving care. Day four and five - he's still alive your hopes soar to the heavens! Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.

You take this little angel and bury him alone, with aching heart and burning tears, (and an exhausted groan). You ask yourself, Why do this? Why suffer all the pain? But seeing the joy that puppies bring - it really self explains! So, when you think of breeders and label them with "greed". Think what they sometimes endure to fill another's need.

And when you buy a puppy, with dollars and cents you part. You only pay with money ... we pay with our hearts.

Where to Bury A Dog

If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call. Come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down the well remembered path to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them for you shall know something that is hidden from them and which is well worth the knowing. The one best place then to bury a dog, is in the HEART of his master. ~author unknown~
