( Fleetmead Monkshood ) Jet had the nick name of baby boy, he was a Male Whippet at the tender age
of just 7 years he crossed the rainbow bridge.
Mine and Jets paths crossed when he was a puppy at only 10 months old, When on my way to work i
passed a group of men in a field kicking him, so i stopped the car and walked across to them, asking
whos dog he belonged to, A large tall man with an Irish accent said he just got him, and they were
testing his Stamima to be a coursing dog, by kicking the dog it would keep running, not being able
to stop, Jet was just laying there, he did'nt have any more run in him. The bloke asked me what i
wanted ?, i just said your dog , i've give you £200. for him , Thankfully i had'nt paid my rent
money that morning as i was already running late. The bloke happly took the money and even gave me
his Pedigee papers which he also had on him, I picked the dog up and took him to the vets who gave
him a good check-up, and at the tender age of 10 months he had more cuts & scars on his small body
then that of a very old working dog, I renamed him Jet, and he became my loyal campanion, he went
every where with me, even to work at the rescue centre for pets and wildlife.
Sadley we noticed Jets health was deteriorating he suddenly went blind and deaf, and small lumps
were appearing on his body, he started to get very stressed and upset all the time, he was very
protective over his family, and the fact that he couldn't carry out this duty, that he belived was
his caused him to stress out even more,
the vet belived he had a tumor,and that was why he went blind and deaf. Our baby boy was suffering
so sadley we decided to make the difficult choice putting our boy first, We spent our last day
together going for a long walk around the field he loved, and he had goodies to eat, he loved his
food, then we said our goodbyes. Jet's ashes are still with us in a lovley Box,
but in Spirit i know Jet is alway with me.

To our Baby boy, our whippet Jet
4 Years ago you left and yet
we cant move on, we cant forget
we speak of you, still get upset
You loved to roll onto your back
you chased the ducks and make them quack
so beautiful you were, jet black
The prettiest of all the pack
Your early years did take their toll
So mother Nature took your soul
and now your pain has gone away
I know we'll meet again some day.
By jennifer xx
I’m always with you
My eyes still shine with a magical sparkle,
my coat still glistens from the first rays of sun,
my breath still warm and moist upon your hand,
my heartbeat still beating strong and true,
my love still reaching out to you my loyal trusted
friend .

A letter from your pet in heaven
Author Unknown
To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.`
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."
Birthday boy
Another year,another tear,
another time to wish you there
another time to sit and stare
another empty space thats there
another moment of thoughts to share
another memory i hold dear.

There are many things I could have said
but i didnt understand
that you wouldnt be here very long
to run along the sand
It saddens me it breaks my heart
that you were taken quick
no more games of hide and seek
or chasing some old stick
but thankyou Jet for being you
so gentle kind and sweet
I guess it was your time to leave
but someday again we'll meet
we really tried our best for you
we loved so much yet
you were only here for 7 years
our special whippet Jet

"Just A Dog"
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's
just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a
dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the
time spent, or the costs involved for "just a
dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about
with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a
dog," but I did not once feel slighted. ………….
And in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome
the day. …………………………………………………
"Just a dog" brings
into my life the very essence of
friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a
dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make
me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will
rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the
future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but
an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the
future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure
joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's
good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself
and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they will understand that it's
not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity
and keeps me from being "just a man." So the next time
you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because
they "just don't understand."

LIVING LOVE
Exerpt from the book "Maya's first Rose
(Passages from "A living love" )
If you are wise, you will let the tears flow as freely and as often as they must. And if you are typical, you will find that not many in your circle of family or friends will be able to understand your grief, or comfort you.
But if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through the many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul -- a bit smaller in size than your own -- seems to walk with you, at times, during the lonely days to come.
And at moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, you may feel something brush against your leg -- very very lightly.
And looking down at the place where your dear, perhaps dearest, friend used to lie -- . The memory will most likely to be painful, and leave an ache in your heart--
As time passes the ache will come and go as if it has a life of its own. You will both reject it and embrace it, and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.
But there will be, I assure you, a day when -- along with the memory of your pet -- and piercing through the heaviness in your heart -- there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with each animal we have loved, and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love -- like the heavenly scent of a rose that remains after the petals have wilted, this Love will remain and grow -- and be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It is the legacy our pets leave us when they go. And it is a gift we may keep with us as long as we live. It is a Love which is ours alone. And until we ourselves leave, perhaps to join our Beloved Pets -- it is a Love we will always possess.
