WELCOME TO JAY'S GARDEN XX

He was a miniature bull terrier who was loved very,very much. No words really can tell of the love
we shared together. He was my confidant and friend. I just wish I could have him with me all over
again for another ten years. I miss him so much.
We used to live in Broxbourne in Hertfordshire.We actually got Jay from Redcar in Yorkshire, so we
used to call him our Yorkie boy, who then became a Broxbourne boy.He came from a litter of nine
puppies. We played on the floor with them all but he was the one that stayed with us the whole
time,so really he chose us and was determined to keep our attention.We said "that's got to be the
one" and that certainly was the case for the next ten years. When we came to Spain, we brought him
with us, driving all the way by car, he was so good we never knew he was there.He was my baby.He
suddenly got ill, it really was just a matter of a week. He suddenly stopped eating and looked so
sad. We thought that it might be the hot weather but after a couple of days we knew it wasn't right
and called the vet to our home as we didn't want to make life anymore difficult for Jay. He took
blood tests and said he would return the same day with the result. The result was as the Spanish vet
said "His kidneys, they are broken" and I can try to stabilize him with injections and we will wait
three days, then we must decide what is best for Jay.He had deteriorated even more by then and it
was decided that the kindest thing for Jay was to let him go.What a wonderful vet, he was so
understanding of our feelings.It was a very tearful and heartbreaking time and I have re-lived it
many times. We have his ashes in a most beautiful glass casket in a velvet pouch tied with
ribbon.The vet did everything for us and did it so well.Jay has been gone now seven months, my heart
still aches for him. Why, my little mate did you have to go? I loved you so much.
♥ Forever In Our Hearts ♥

The Greatest Gift
I always knew this time would come
From the very first time our eyes first met
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then and I keep that promise now.
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal,
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.
It is for me alone to make this decision.
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter.
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.
It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready,
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger,
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you the last gift, the greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.
The pain of this moment is excruciating,
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow,
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened
And unlike other decisions I have made,
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace
For if there's one thing I have learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all.
I must be willing to let you go when you speak to me,
I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.
Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find the ones who have gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar.
I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead
I cannot say I will not miss you,
I cannot say I will not cry,
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But I promise you this...
as long as I live...You will live
Alive in my mind, forever in my heart
And this will be my greatest gift...
Sending you away
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say
“Goodbye, go find the Rainbow Bridge
and yes, we'll meet again.
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all.”
Karla Bertram
We Let You Go
Into the darkness and warmth of the earth
We lay you down
Into the sadness and smiles of our memories
We lay you down
Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again
We lay you down
May you rest in peace, in fulfilment, in loving
May you run straight home in God's embrace
Into the freedom of wind and sunshine
We let you go
Into the dance of the stars and the planets
We let you go
Into the wind's breath and the hands of the star maker
We let you go
We love you, we miss you, we want you to be happy
Go safely, go dancing, go running home

“Discard the leash that holds me here
dear friend, and let me run
once more a strong and steady dog
my pain and struggle done.
And don’t despair my passing
for I won’t be far away
forever here, within your heart
and memory I’ll stay.
I’ll be there watching over you
your ever faithful friend
and in your memories I’ll run
a young dog once again.”
♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Heaven's Doggy-Door Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The Doctor said he was in pain,
and it was hard for him to stand.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And Oh... his many charms.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart that's filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ But an Angel just appeared to me,
And said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
He's installed a 'doggy-door'!!!
Jan Cooper '95
It's Hard To See Tomorrow
It’s hard to see tomorrow, when someone
you love is gone.
And it’s harder still to realize that your life
will still go on.
But the Lord won’t give you burdens,
which He knows you cannot bear,
And He will not leave you comfortless...
You’ll always find Him there.
We’re all our Father’s children, here
on earth and up above,
And your Jay now walks close
to God,
Surrounded by His love.
JAY
Into Spirit
I see you grieve,
I feel you grieve
But I am with you.
And will stay, til you laugh
When remembering the fun
We had in all those years.
Thank you for the courage to let me go,
No more weary, no more pain,
I am with you, you will feel me
My cold nose, my waving tail.
You will see my smiling mouth and shining fur,
You will hear my happy voice.
I can run now, I can play now
With all my family and my friends.
But I will love you and I will watch you
Til we meet again.
A Woodland Place
A woodland place full of dreams,
A mossed bank and bluebells,
Grey ashes floating down
Sinking into browned rich earth,
Spirit soft bodies,
Happy eyes waving tails
Cold noses pressed into our hands
There and all around, easing grief,
In soft warm, warm spring air.
