Sherzam Toy & Standard Poodles

Memories

This page is dedicated to the beautiful standards and toys that I have had the pleasure to enjoy and love during the last 40 years.

Chickee - 16yrs.

"To the world you are one, but to me you are the world."

"Memories last for a lifetime."

" Precious memories of you will stay in my heart forever.”

"Our animal friends may leave us all too soon....but their footprints will

dance gently on our hearts forever."

Heaven's the place where all the dogs
you've ever loved come to greet you.

"I will be with you again as we cross the Rainbow Bridge together at my journey's end."

Rest in peace and may you watch over your heartbroken parents and shine love into their hearts always!

“Message to My Beloved”

I leave myself to your memory with love,

I leave my thoughts, my laughter,

My dreams to you,

Whom I have treasured.

I give you what no thief can steal

The memories of our times together,

The tender moments,

The success we have shared,

The hard times that brought us closer together

And the rod we have walked side by side....

And all I take with me as I leave

Is your love and the millions of memories

Of all that we shared,

So I truly enter my new life as a millionaire.

Fear not nor grieve at my departure:

For you whom I love so much,

My roots and yours

Are forever entwined

In loving memory of my beautiful poodles who I truly loved so much and with whom I shared so many wonderful times. May you run free & happy forever:

Good Old Dog

With your old grey face

you sure know how

to brighten up this place.

Your pace is slowing

Time is wearing then

You won't be here for long

Old Dog I love your grin

But before you go

There is one thing to say

Old Dog I love you

and I'll miss you for the rest of my days

and it's been an honour

to walk acoss this land

with your faithful head

right at my hand.

( Savana Frame

“Tribute to a best friend “ Author Unknown.

Sunlight streams through window pane

Unto a spot on the floor…

Then I remember

It’s where you used to lie,

But now you are no more.

Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,

And muted echos sound

Then I remember,

It’s where your paws would joyously abound.

A voice is heard along the hill,

Then I remember it can’t be yours…

Your golden voice is still.

But I’ll take that spot of floor

and empty mute hall.

And lay with the absent voice

And unused dish along the wall.

I’ll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love.

And keep them for my best friend until we meet above.

....................................................

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN?

Do you remember when we first met

The way you snuggled up to me?

One hug and you became my friend

And then you curled up on my knee

Do you remember how we shared

Our nights in front of winter fires?

Just being loved and cared for

Were your only heart's desires.

Do you remember autumn walks

When you played with falling leaves

And when you wanted me to play

How you tugged upon my sleeves?

I remember all the love we shared

The happy days we had together

Although you do not walk with me

You'll live in my heart for ever

May the road rise up to meet you
And the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand.
(Gaelic Blessing)

*****************

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.

It is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours.

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,

There is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.

There is always food and water, and warm Spring weather.

Those old and frail animals are young again.

Those who have been maimed are made whole again.

They play all day with each other.

But there is only one thing missing.

They are not with their special person who loved them on earth.
So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up.

The nose twitches, the ears are up, and the eyes are staring,

and this one suddenly runs from the group.

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet,

you take him or her into your arms and embrace.

Your face is kissed again and again and
you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

The Spirit of a Dog

I was standing on a hillside
In a field of blowing wheat,
And the spirit of a dog
Was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes,
Ancient wisdom shining through.
In the essence of his being,
I saw the love there too.

His mind did lock upon my heart
As I stood there on that day,
And he told me of this story
About a place so far away.

As I stood upon that hillside
In a field of blowing wheat,
In a twinkling of a second
His spirit left my feet.

His tale did put my heart at ease,
All my fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me
On another distant day:

I live among God's creatures now
In the heavens of your mind,
So do not grieve for me, my friend,
As I am with my kind.

My collar is a rainbow's hue,
My leash is a shooting star.
My boundaries are the Milky Way
Where I sparkle from afar.

There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined,
But I'm free to roam God's heavens
Among the Doggie kind.

I nap the day on a snowy cloud
Gentle breezes rocking me,
And dream the dreams of earthlings,
And how it used to be.

The trees are full of liver treats,
And tennis balls abound,
And milkbones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring set up,
The grass all lush and green;
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the Best of Breed.

For we're all winners in this place;
We have no faults, you see.
And God passes out those ribbons
To each one, even me.

I drink from waters laced with gold,
My world a beauty to behold;
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in angel's arms,
Her wings protecting me,
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee.

So when your life on Earth is spent
And you stand at Heaven's gate,
Have no fear of loneliness —
For here, you know, I wait.
