  • R.I.P Claude

    My eldest dog died this morning. I noticed he`d lost loads of weight when i came back from Nam. He had cancer. I kept him going as long as he wasn`t suffering stress or pain, been feeding him chicken from the supermarket, spoiling him rotten. Over the weeks he`s aged rapidly but this morning it all went pear shaped and i had to do what i`ve been dreading for weeks. Now he`s in a little box on the cabinet next to his mother and sister. I`m gutted, I`ve got another dog Poppy but she`s only 4, still just a dog, a great dog but Claude had been with me since his first breath. He`d been with me through the death of my mother, through the comings and goings of the women in my life, through the sh1t storms of the past few years. He`s irreplaceable. R.I.P Claude, life just wont be the same again.




    The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

    If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies.

            But I gotta ask. This "chicken from the supermarket" you speak of.

            Is that a different kind of chicken?

                          Sad news. Hope your memories of him will bring you happiness though. The cruelness of nature means that our friends never live long enough.

                            So sorry to hear your upsetting news.

                            I had to have my dog put to sleep a while ago, still find it upsetting thinking of him now. He was my rock and I loved him dearly.

                            The vet gave me this poem...

                            I hope it helps you a little.

                            Beyond The Rainbow

                            As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
                            I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
                            I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
                            Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

                            I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
                            Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
                            And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
                            Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
                            My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
                            And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

                            I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
                            That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
                            'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
                            And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

                            For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
                            We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
                            So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
                            If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
