My beloved best friend Codie was put to rest in my arms on 6/8/07.

Codie was my first dog whom i rescued at 18 months,we then went on to have 12 glorious years together.She taught me what unconditional love was all about.The bond we had was unbreakable,she idolised me and the feeling was mutual.

My favourite picture of all time of Codie is the below of her and i getting ready to go into the obedience ring together,it shows the love we had for each other.This most wonderful girl tried her heart out at all times for me be it in the obedience,agility ring or just at home.

I will miss you forever my darling,run free,till we meet again xxxxx

Codie,Jake and Matthew

BEYOND THE RAINBOW

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,

I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade

I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free

Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, an on the other side

Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide

And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see

Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be

My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new

And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright

That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night

"Twas the glow of many candles, shining bright and strong and bold

And I knew then that it held your love in it's brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be

We are still connected by a cord no one can see

So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart

If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I AM NOT THERE

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry:

I am not there, I did not die.

  THE SPIRIT OF A GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG

The Spirit of a German Shepherd Dog

I was standing on a hillside

In a field of blowing wheat

And the spirit of a German Shepherd

Was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes

An ancient wisdom shining through

And in the essence of his being

I saw 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.

I stood upon that hillside

In a field of blowing wheat

And in a twinkling of a second

His spirit left my feet.

His tale did put my heart at ease

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 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 free to roam God's heavens

Among my Shepherd 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 an 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."

  Remember our love

I was chosen today

I'm learning to fly

the world took me away,

but please dont you cry

And i chose you today

to try and be strong

so please dont you cry

and dont say that im gone

When your feeling alone

just remember our love,

im up near the stars

looking down from above

remember our love

in a moment you'll see

that im still here beside you

when you're thinking of me.
