I have been crying my eyes out for the loss of my little pal Harold.
How I’m going to miss the sparkle in his eyes and his
little suction cup toes that he liked me to rub.
Remembering how cute he was especially when he got me all wet,
after he peed on me which was all the time!
He even let big farts that were really loud!
I knew when he had to pass air he seemed to get a gleem in
his big froggy eyes and his lips curled into a devilish smile.
He’d get so excited when he saw his dinner coming
he near took my fingers off to get at it!
I spent many a night holding him on my chest in bed
where he’d just lay for hours quite content and warm.
Funny but he never tried to leave me.
He gave me years of joy and even though he was just
a little green frog he meant the whole world to me.
He looked up at me just before he took his last
breath as I held him in my hand at the doctors office.
I told him “soon you wouldn’t feel any more pain and when
you pass Harold just keep your little spirit here with momma
and you will be with me all of my days”.
I held onto those precious toes of his that I loved so much
and I felt the life flutter out but at the same time I felt something
flutter into me!!
I swear he picked the spot he is buried in as I felt
my feet guided there. Later I noticed its on the side of the house,
that’s closest to the home he once had with his buddies he
left behind in my bedroom.
Can it be…that the spirit of the dead does stay with the living?
Yes I believe this!
I can feel each and every one of my precious babies
who’s time had come.
They are all little bundles of joy and gifts from God.
I’ll always remember the happy times we had together.
My life has been so rich for the gift of their love.
And I wouldn’t trade a single tear that I now cry for the
precious moments we shared.
As I look around me now at my remaining pets I see them lined
up for their nightly dinners and their share of love
and its back to cleaning and caring for the living.
A job I wouldn’t trade for all the gold in the world.
This is my tribute and a few mere words of love…..
to my wonderful and beloved pets that are still with me,
and those that have filled me with their spirits.
Also for all of you who have lost your precious pets I reach
out my hand and offer my deepest compassion and
sincere sympathy.
Remember they are with you and they love you!
You have only to believe.
