~BO~
This page is dedicated to my oldest son, Eric, and his dog, Bo. Bo was eight years old when he took his journey today onto another path of Light.
If I could take the pain away or carry it for you, I would. "I pray that you are surrounded in the White Light, drawing into and through your aura all that is for your greater good, repelling all other force, including thought force, returning it from whence it came. May you continue to be guided, guarded, protected and spiritually uplifted." Amen.
Eric, I offer these poems to you in hopes that they will bring you comfort.
I love you,
Mom
They will not go quietly,
the dogs who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a barking at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them ...
and always will.

~A Dog's Prayer~
Treat me kindly, my beloved master
for no heart in the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do no break my spirit with a stick,
for though I lick your hand between the blows,
your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often,
for your voice is the world's sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet,
please take me inside,
for I am now a domesticated animal,
no longer used to bitter elements.
And, I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Though had you no home,
I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land,
for you are my God,
and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water,
for although I should not reproach you were it dry,
I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side,
and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master,
should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight,
do not turn me away from you.
Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest ...
and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew,
my fate was ever safest in your hands.

When I see a boy who hasn't a dog
or a dog that hasn't a boy,
I think of the lot they are missing
of frolic and genuine joy.
Some parents think dogs are a nuisance,
just something to bark and annoy ....
They can't know how badly a boy needs a dog
or how sadly a dog needs a boy.

~Runes of Comfort for the Bereaved~
I am the Life and the Light and the Way.
The earth is my garden.
Each of the souls I plant as seeds
Germinates and flowers in its season
And in each I am fulfilled.
There is no cause for grief
When a blossom fades
But only rejoicing for the beauty it held
And praise that my will is done
And my plan served.
I am one with all creatures
And none is ever lost
But only restored to me
Having never left me at all.
For what is Eternal
Cannot be separated from the Source.
I am with you all,
And each of you is a channel for my Light.
Feel my Love
Enfold you now and evermore.

~Footprints~
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you during your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
