Saying good-bye to your beloved pet is certainly not an easy thing to do. We want to share a poem from Ken D. Conover.

Pets in Heaven
To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there,

I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there,
not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God’s creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth.

I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth.
There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours.

Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don’t hold the love that you have within yourself.
Don’t hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever.
For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Absolutely beautiful poem! It definitely isn't easy to say good-bye to a loved one.
hey Sugar,
What a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing. It is a very touching poem, and brought tears to my human's eyes as she has lost many loving pets and understands the pain and sorrow.
We pawed some words of comfort and love to KT and family over beautiful Lady's passing. Very sad way to start March.
You are a very sweet, kind Soul to pay tribute to your friend, Lady, in such a loving way.
