Our Bobby Dog.



We met our little dog so many years ago, and we never ever knew just how much love he would to us show. He came into our lives and changed the things we did, he was our companion a friend to our kids.

We cherished him and cared for him for he was special you see, for Bobby only had 3 legs and he taught so much to you and me. We never thought he would ever die for he stayed for so long, and now his life I can put into a sweet melody of song.



I know this poem is special indeed and anyone who reads it will shed a tear or two. I want to tell his story and share the pain we have, these words will help us heal and memories will keep him close, for little Bobby was our Dog and we loved him the most.



I know we could bury our Bobby under a big oak tree, by the seaside or near a pretty frangipani you see. We could visit him every day and night but we know he lives in our heart and that feels just right. We know we cant cuddle him or whisper in his ear, but we know he is our hearts and he is always very near.



We can spend time remembering all the fun we had, the games under the lounge and the runs in the sand, the snuggles under the blankets and the cuddles in the sun and we can always giggle about your funny little run.

We can remember your bark and how you stirred the others up each day, and how you would sit on your blanket and on the veranda you would stay.

We can remember how you loved to cuddle into our necks and lick our mouth for a quick peck. We can remember how you had little walkways' and pillows everywhere for when you needed to get around and you would bark to get up the stairs.

We can remember how you loved to have a carry walk, and how you loved to look at us and how your lips would talk. You used to get so annoyed when we didn't look your way and you would continue to bark until our head did sway.

We can remember your eyes so big and black and that soft little curve in your aging back. We know you gave us so many yrs of love and we were so sad when we had to release you to Gods angel up above.



So many memories that we hold in our hearts, to think of you at times tears each one of our hearts apart.

But we know we have to accept that you are in a better place and we know that one day when we get to heaven we will meet you face to face.

So until that time our Bobby Dog please stay close to God and wander through the valleys that are covered in warm grass and know that we will hold you again in our arms real close on that day when you run to greet us and make a big fuss.



So thank you for the yrs of love for the memories you left behind, no where on this earth will we ever another dog like you find. So we say good bye our little mate knowing you was just wonderful and great.

Its been


Its been a year since my Bobby died, since he crossed that bridge and took his final ride.
Its been a year of sadness and tears, and off thinking about all the wonderful funny little things he did throughout his many years.
Its been so hard at times to focus on the good times we had, for so often after losing him I simply didnt feel anything but sad.
Its been so easy to cry and rant and rave, for he was so wonderful and so very very brave.
Its been a time where we could each recall some fun, and remember our little Bobby and the many things he had done.
Its been a time to let go and allow the sadness out and express ourselves and our love, for we all know that Bobby is at rest in rainbow land above.
Its been a time of healing and dealing with the past, for we will forever in our hearts fly Bobbys flag half mast.
Its been a year , and we thank you our Bobby for being our friend, we know that God is holding you and will keep you there until the day our lives end, where we will once again be reunited and hold you close and then our broken hearts will mend.
