MY LITTLE MAN
1981 - 1999
FussyMutt was 18, He crossed Rainbow
Bridge on Friday
Feb.5,1999.
He passed peacefully in his mother Marion's arms. He was
preceded in death by Gypsy,and Bridie Muff. He will be
greatly missed by not only his mom but all of us at
Petangles who have come to know and love him . He is now in
God's playground with his family and all of our beloved's
who have crossed over. Playing and running to the music of
the Angels, and sitting on His lap, and being hugged and
petted by the Creator who lent him to the world for what
seems a short time.
Condolances can be sent to His Family
My Fussymutt was such a little
gentleman. He was
constantly by my side, so much so, that I had to get into
the habit of looking around before I moved. I was always
tripping over him, he was so little and so quiet. Except,
that is, when I would let him out in the yard. Then all
h**l would break loose. He would really let his hair down
or should I say, it would stand up. He loved to lay on
his back in my arms while I would rub his tummy. Next
thing you know he was sound asleep, snoring loudly. I'm
going to miss my little man more than I can say. But I
know he's happy at the Bridge with all the little furbaby
friends. That's my only consolation. Goodbye little
Fussymutt. I'm missing you so much.
IF I SHOULD GROW FRAIL
If it should be that I grow frail and
weak,And pain does
keep me from my sleep, Then will you do
what must be done
For this, the last battle,can't be won.
You
will be sad I understand, But don't let
grief then stay
your hand. For on this day more than the
rest, Your love and friendship must stand
the test. We have
had so many happy years, You wouldn'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, It is a
kindness you
do for me. Although my tail its
last has waved, From pain and suffering I
have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has decided this thing to do. We've
been so close, we
two,these years, Don't let your
heart hold any tears. --- Author Unknown
If He Wakes in Your Arms
I can hardly see through my tears.... today I sent my best friend of
years
and years Somewhere he had to go, where pain and sickness he won't have to know.
He's been with me ever since he was a pup... today I've had to give him
up.
He was sick, we both knew it and I wouldn't put him through it. Thinking back to the day my wife brought him, I told her then that I didn't want him...
"Noise and mess and bills to pay!" - I can't believe I felt that way. Didn't know that in the end, he would be my dearest friend. Didn't know that he would be the greatest gift that came to me. How did one like me deserve a friend who wanted just to serve? What was there that made him love me, with nobody else above me? When I looked into his eyes, never did he criticize, Never did he hold a grudge,/center> Never did he try to judge. Recently, an anxious day. "How come you don't want to play?" Took him to the vet to see what might be wrong with my "puppy". Worse by far than I expected, fatal illness was detected. Nothing much that we could do but keep him comfy til he's through. Back at home I tried to tell him of the bad luck that befell him All I could see in his eyes was wondering why his master cries. I don't think he understood - his eyes just asked "Wasn't I good?" "How come now I make you sad? Let me kiss and hug you, dad!" Two last weeks I had to try to find a way to say goodbye. In that time I told him more than I ever had before Just how much I loved my pup, how it hurt to give him up. How though gone, he'd always be inside my heart, a part of me. Then today was no mistaking, I made the decision, my heart was breaking. I called and asked the vet to come by - I didn't have to tell him why. He arrived in awhile and asked "Are you ready?" I sighed, I nodded, I felt so unsteady.
Got down on the floor by my boy who was dying, and I just didn't care if the vet saw me crying.
As my pup slipped away, the last things he felt were the kisses and hugs of his master who knelt
On that "blankie" beside him to bid him goodbye, who had just one more minute to tell him, to try
to say thanks to his boy for a lifetime of love.... "Dear God, let me
see him in heaven above!
But for now Lord, please hold him, watch over his rest... If he wakes in
Your arms tell him I love him best."

May I Go Now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless pain filled nights?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.
I promise that I'll not be far and hope you'll always know,
that my spirit will be close wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me, You know I loved you too.
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say.
Because you care so much for me you'll let me go today.
That Rainbow Bridge is a special place!
