I Miss You, Spikie! Daddy Was Thinking About You Again... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Here's another poem that expresses all too well the way many of us here are feeling... To Spikie:

MY FOREVER PET

There's something missing in my home,

I feel it day and night,

I know it will take time and strength

before things feel quite right.

But just for now, I need to mourn,

My heart -- it needs to mend.

Though some may say, "It's just a pet,"

I know I've lost a friend.

You've brought such laughter to my home,

and richness to my days.

A constant friend through joy or loss

with gentle, loving ways.

Companion, friend, and confidante,

A friend I won't forget.

You'll live forever in my heart,

My sweet, forever pet.

-- Susanne Taylor

Thank you for posting this. I'm having a hard time dealing with the first anniversary of my Becca's death, and this poem says so much about how I feel.

I am so sorry for your loss. Little Spike was obviously very well loved. I wish I knew of something to help you through this, but I'm finding out that time really is the best healer. God bless you!

Beautiful poem, thank you for sharing it with those of us that are grieving the loss of our furbaby. It's been 3 weeks today that I lost Olivia...I still expect to see her following me throughout the house.

Thanks for sharing that. With gardening time upon me I am missing my pom Maya so much. She would find a shady spot and lay outside while I gardened for hours. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost a beloved pet.

Thank you for the beautiful poem, it brought tears to my eyes just thinking of my little boy we lost in March....he was still just a baby only a little over one years old...I don't think the pain ever goes away...

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. It has me in tears as I just lost my beloved cat Lestat 5 days ago after having her 20 years. There are people who don't know what it is to lose a pet. It's like losing a family which in fact they are family to us.

Touching poem...memories, ah those sweet memories. I love you and miss you Spencer!
