I worked at a pet store and wanted to bring a dog home for the longest time but since I lived in an
apartment, I couldn't. After a while, I narrowed down my options of what breed I wanted (I had
three favs, Mini Daschund, Husky and Border Collie). The night Domino came in, I fell in love, and I
knew I had to have that puppy! about a month later, we bought our first house and my hopes of
getting the puppy were coming true! But we didn't have the money to buy him. I begged my parents
and my mom finally gave in and bought him for me as a house warming gift. I was thrilled, my first
puppy! We had him for a week and he was already trained to go outside and to sit. I knew he was
going to be a great dog! On July 3rd, I drove my fiance to work, which was about 20 minutes away
and I tied Domino up in the backyard to get some fresh air, it was really nice out that day. On my
way home, my fiance called me and told me I had to hurry home, our local animal control officer
called him, Domino was hit by a car. He never told me if he was okay or not, so I sped home, with
tears in my eyes (expecting the worst). I got home, there was no one there and no dog in the street,
I had hope, maybe she drove him to a vet, maybe he was fine... I drove up the driveway and put the
car in park and stared. Domino was laying next to the porch, where he usually sleeps in the shade.
He was fine! Just to make sure, I honked the horn. Nothing, he didn't twitch. I broke down into
tears and sat in my car for minutes before I got out and dropped down next to him. Our neighbor
then got home and told me they tried everything to catch him after his leash broke but they were too
late. I looked down at his collar and the hook was not broken, I walked to the front of the house
where they left the "broken" leash, it wasn't even dented. I then examined the spike, nothing. She
lied. I always wanted to confront my neighbors and ask what really happened, since there was no
evidence of an accident, but I never got the guts. We buried him in the back yard, wrote him a poem
and tried to move on.

When I first got you after months of dreaming
I had so many plans for you
Like how I was going to train you, all the tricks you were going to learn
And how you were going to either love or hate going swimming with me
But I never got to teach you these things
I never got to know a lot of things about you
Because someone took you away from me
It was so sudden and hopefully painless for you
I know pain will always be with me
I will always remember you
Even though I wish I could forget
Not forget you, but the way I found you and lost you at the same time!
Finding you on the side of the porch,
Then losing you when you didn’t react to my calling
It was the worst moment of my life
My baby was taken away from me
And no one was there to tell me what the hell happened
Then I was told your leash broke
I looked very hard, and no it wasn’t!
And it was impossible for any puppy to get out of that leash
Unless you broke it, but the evidence wasn’t there!
Nothing was there! No one was there!
I was alone, you weren’t there anymore
You couldn’t make me smile when you tried to jump on me
You couldn’t lick my face to clear my tears
You were brutally taken away from me
Your death is still a mystery to me
There is no proof of what killed you
No witness came forth to tell your ending
I try to tell myself to forget you
But how the hell can I?
I loved you so much
And I will miss you forever!
Yes, I do have another to love
But when you left, my love has went with you
I feel too empty to love her the same as I did
You were my first baby
You were the one I craved to have since I first set eyes on you
And I know you were meant to be mine
I mean, how could a cute puppy like you stay there for so long?
How could no one fall in love with your friendliness?
It’s because you were mine from the start!
It’s so hard to stay in this empty house
Everywhere I look, your memories are there
They will never fade from my life
Your paw prints are in my heart
Like paint, they will never go away
Not until I paint over them
I hope you have fun with the toys I buried with you
And I hope you never feel cold with the blanket you’re wrapped in
I want you to remember the good times you had
Though it wasn’t enough
I want you to remember that I will never forget you!
~I love you~
Sleep tight, little one. xxx

I'm not gone...not really.
I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.
My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.
My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap
and dance among the treetops.
I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the
flowers gently in the spring.
I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,
and lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:
"Peace be with you."
Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.
'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.
And I return that love to you...a hundredfold..a thousandfold..
Forever.
To sweet Domino
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can't be won
You will be sad - I understand
Don't let your grief though stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stands the test
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You don't want me to suffer so
When the time comes, please let me go
Take me to where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see
I know in time you will agree
A kindness that you do for me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved
And please don't grieve it should be you
Who must decide this thing to do
We've been so close - we two - these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears
A letter from your pet in heaven

To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."
I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms, you think I am gone forever.
You recall how I looked when I left this place, and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you... me..............
I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us forever by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead?
.................
You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories, which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.
I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
.............
I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate.
Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.
Until we meet again...
