Oh no, poor old Beau. I'm sitting here all teary which is why I avoid Rainbow Bridge usually.

Beau was an absolute darling, a real sweetheart. Stormy - remember when I looked after him? He was so excited when you came to get him, even though you hadn't had him that long, he was already so bonded to you and the family.

Thank you so much for rescuing him and giving him a loving home for the last 18 months.

RIP gentle boy.

I don't know how all of you manage to read the posts in Rainbow Bridge, I know when I do, I always end up in tears (and that's for the dogs I don't even know :rofl: )

We will be collecting Beau's ashes early next week, and I'm planning on scattering half up at dog park, because he used to love going there (even though he never ran around, he just used to love to walk up to all the people there and get lots of attention -smart boy!), and then the other half we are going to scattered around a tree we plan on planting for him out the front in our new "garden" (I use the term loosely as it's just rocks and dirt atm ).

We have washed Beau's dish for the last time and stored it in the cupboard, same with his coats. His lead sits all alone when we take the others out for their walk. I still can't believe that he's gone....

Trisven - I'm more than happy to share the leg lifting as well as any cuddles :D

dogmad - you're right, he was such a happy soul. Even though Storm and Penny are younger, neither wag their tail at the same frenzied pace as Beau did when he was saying "Hello"

Rozzie - I take my hat off and to you and Mr R for taking in all the oldies - Beau was my first and it broke my heart :rofl:

Kamuzz -

not staying your hand in pity when the final deed is due
is so true yet so hard. The original poems must have been really touching (and probably a real tear jerker :rofl:)

And to everyone else also...... :D for all you kind words

Thank Heavens for DOL because my "other" friends think Beau was only just a dog......

RIP Beau, you have touched many many hearts

Look not where I was

For I am not there

My spirt is free

I am everywhere

In the air that you breath

In the sounds that you hear

Don't cry for me Mum

My spirit is near

I'll watch for you

From the other side

I'll be the one running

New friends by my side

Smile at my memery

Remember in your heart

This isn't the end

It's a brand new start

A PARTING PRAYER

Dear lord, please open your gates

and call St.Francis

to escort this beloved companion

across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her to a place of honor,

for she has been a faithful servant

and always done her best to please me

Bless the hands that send her to you,

for they are doing so in love and compassion,

freeing her from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.

help me remember the details of her life

with the love she has shown me.

And grant me the courage to honor her

by sharing those memories with others.

Let her remember me as well

and let her know that I'll always love her.

And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,

please allow her to accompany those

who bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,

for the gift of her compainionship

and for the time we've had together.

And thank you,Lord,

for granting me the strength

to give her to you now.

Amen. by;Brandy Duckworth,1998
