For Loopy
You were always here for us
Greeting us when we would return or lying at our feet
Running the fence line, protecting our home
For so many years, you graced our lives
Our sweet angel in a Labrador wrap
Giving your all, asking only for our love in return
You never failed to bring a smile to our faces
The way you would fall all over yourself
When we would praise you as a “Good Girl”
You were a true and loyal companion
Your pretty “smile” still warms our hearts,
As your spirit now runs happy and free
You leave an empty space
In our hearts and in our home
Your Critter Friends are lost and sad without you
Time will lessen our feelings of grief
But it will not erase you from our hearts
You will always remain a member of our family
You rest now, free of your earthly wounds
Sleeping peacefully in the yard where you played
Surrounded by your friends and those who left before you

Beautifully and lovingly penned, your friends are blessed to have you as a dear friend. It is never easy to lose a pet, who has become part of the "family". My thoughts are with them.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn. :( >tears <
believe me, i have been there; nothing sadder than losing a furry friend!
Man's best friend is Dog.
"Dog," when spelled backwards, is "God."
What better tribute?
This is a haiku I once wrote for a friend's dog. Dogs love us despite ourselves. They are loyal, trustworthy, and wonderful companions. You've penned a beautiful tribute to Loopy. :) Well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

'the sweet angel in a Labrador wrap' (I am sure there is a heaven for pets too sherri,dear Loopy will be there.)
I've lost animals that I grieved for deeper than some humans I've known.

Then I closed her eyes. First time seen my dad cry..
I had to do the same a while back, and called it animal angels, was for a young lad.
If pets don't go to heaven, then it would be kinda boring..
Great tribute..
Sorry about your loss!!
Love Tinka
I'll plant a cactus for your family in Memory Gardens Just for you and Loopy and all your furry family.
