Annie was a beautiful jet black border collie cross.
She had the sweetest nature was so intelligent but best of all
Annie was mine.
I would have laid down my life for my girl and I know she would have
done the same for me. Annie came into my life on the 12th October 1982,
and left on 24th December 1999 after sharing my life for
seventeen and a half years.
I adored her everything about her. The sweet smell of her fur
her twinkling eyes her funny little ways.
I knew my heart would break when it was time for her to leave
but I never imagined just how bad the pain would be {and still is}.
My darling girl suffered a stroke and the look in her eyes was just too
much too bear. I had to help her one last time.
I held Annie and talked to her and kissed her and told her how
much I loved her. I knew the precise second my beautiful baby left me,
but I gave her one last gift when she went Annie took my heart with her.
The last thing my precious girl knew in this life that ‘Mum’ was there
the last thing she felt was my touch and the smell of my scent.
Annie was privately cremated at a local pet cemetery. I took her on her
last journey and carried her myself into the chapel of rest.
My darling girl was laid in a bed of white lace and satin.
She looked so peaceful and beautiful.
Her ashes were returned to me so Annie is came back where she
belongs home.
When my time is done Annie’s ashes will be coming with me so we will
never be parted again. I have a lock of her fur and a photograph in a lovely
locket my Husband bought especially for me.
Annie’s photo’s are everywhere and I have a corner of my garden
dedicated to a memorial to her complete with a blue pearl stone
engraved in gold.
There are always flowers and doggy statues and cherubs to watch
over the memory of my girl. I have other dogs but Annie was my first
and I was so lucky to have shared the life of such a wonderful creature.
There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of her.
I can remember the wonderful times we had but the tears still flow,
and the ache is still there.
This is my tribute to my beautiful Annie with love and so much gratitude,
for the joy and love she gave me.
You may have run on ahead my angel for a time,
but I still love you and I always will.
Look after my heart
Mum

My sunshine didn’t come from the skies,
It came from the love in my dog’s eyes.
