WELCOME TO JAY'S GARDEN XX
۞۩๑๑۩۞۩๑๑۩۞۩๑۞۩๑๑۩۞۩๑๑۩۞۩๑

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.

Behind Your Wings

Like a veil being drawn across my heart

With your love buried deep inside

When troubled times are about to start

Behind your wings I hide



When temptation comes and I know it must

To reveal what's hidden inside

I call to the only one I trust

And behind your wings I hide



When night-time creeps upon the day

And there's no-one by my side

I close my eyes and with my spirit I pray

It's behind your wings I hide



Like a veil being drawn across my heart

To heal the wounds deep inside

Your love fills my being in every part

And on your wings I glide.

Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget. xx

Life must go on

Grieve for me, for I would grieve for you.
Then brush away the sorrow and the tears
Life is not over, but begins anew,
with courage you must greet the coming years.
To live forever in the past is wrong;
can only cause you misery and pain.
Dwell not on memories overlong,
with others you must share and care again.
Reach out and comfort those who comfort you;
recall the years, but only for a while.
Nurse not your loneliness; but live again.
Forget not. Remember with a smile.

Angels In Disguise
Softly they creep through time and space
To give us a glimpse of our Creator's grace.
With eyes gleaming and tails held high,
They know unconditional love is nigh.

Into the hardest heart they creep.
Sowing seeds of Love that grow so deep.
And anyone can tell you it's well known,
They can even soften hearts of stone.

Then they must leave us and go away,
Perhaps to brighten someone else's day.
And when it comes our time to quit the race,
They are the first to welcome us to that special place

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe

That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe

Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

Have you Lord?

“Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he'll be waiting at your door”.

“Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
that’s all he'll ask of Thee”.

A Little Dog Angel
By:Noah M. Holland

High up in the courts of heaven today
a little dog angel waits,
with the other angels he will not play,
but he sits alone at the gates.
"For I know my master will come" says he,
"and when he comes he will call for me."

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry toward the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
as he sits at the gates alone.
"But I know if I just wait patiently
that someday my master will call for me."

And his master, down on earth below,
as he sits in his easy chair,
forgets sometimes, and whispers low
to the dog who is not there.
And the little dog angel cocks his ears
and dreams that his master's voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
outside in the dark and cold,
for the hand of death to open the door,
that leads to those courts of gold,
he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
a little dog angel's bark.

~ I Promise ~
(Author Unknown)

I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.

I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.

I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.

I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.

THE DOGS WHO HAVE SHARED OUR LIVES

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, sometime, 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.
