Dezi was my constant companion for 15 years. Today I had to make the decision to allow her to
regain the dignity she had lost over the past years.
Dezi came to me at the young age of 4 weeks. I had just moved into a new house and my little dog
SuSu had died two weeks earlier. Although we had another dog, Charlie, he belonged to my daughter
Meshael - who is an Angel on this site.
Dezi was a Jack Russell cross - though crossed with what we never knew. She was a lovely temperament
and was brilliant with kids, though she used to chase the boys down the street when they tried to
wind her up, she never hurt anyone.
Everyone loved Dezi, she would snuggle up to you and talk to you. I used to pretend to my daughter
that she told me what had been going on while I'd been out and off course at the age of nine,
Meshael believed it. So one day when I came in from work and Dezi rushed up to tell me the news of
the day Meshael rushed up the stairs shouting 'she's lying Mum, she lying....... it was John who
shouted at her' I laughed until I nearly cried.
When I lost Meshael in 2001 it was Dezi who kept me going. She was always there to cuddle and to
nuzzle as if to say 'I'm here Mum'
Dezi lost her eyesight over the past couple of years and recently started going lame in one leg.
She couldn't go out for walks anymore because she got so disorientated and it broke my heart to
leave her behind when I took the others out over the fields.
Today, I realised that she wasn't really living any more. She was just existing, perhaps for me? Who
knows. All I do know is that my heart is breaking for my little lady who is now running free and
happy once more.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and to vigour. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, she breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…
For Dezi, xxx.
Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he'll be waiting at your door.
Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him, love him, Lord,
that’s all he'll ask of Thee.
MY PHOTO ALBUM
The photo album of my mind
Holds treasured thoughts of you,
And I can almost see again
The things we used to do.
I hear your bark; I see your smile;
I feel you close to me.
The photo album of my mind
Shows how we used to be.
Time may have changed us through the years.
But I will always find
You’re just as I remember in
The album of my mind.
And,as I turn page after page,
Such precious scenes I see.
The photo album of my mind
Is very dear to me.
It holds the pictures of our past
Like reels of film unwind.
I cherish all those photos in
The album of my mind. xxx
I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms, you think I am gone forever.
You recall how I looked when I left this place, and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you... me..............
I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us forever by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead?
.................
You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories, which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.
I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
.............
I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate.
Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.
Until we meet again...

(Passage from UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN)
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, and 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 its 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 eye 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.
Run Free Now Sweet Dezi
I know by now you are running in the fields of heaven with Charlie and Meshael - your eyes are clear and your legs are strong and you won't be bumping into things anymore sweet girl.
Thank you for all the love and devotion you've given me over the years - I will never forget you Dezi Dog and we are all going to miss you so much. Mollie gave me the biggest cuddle when I got back, she'll miss you Mothering her, cleaning her ears and eyes and scolding the pups when they got too boistrous.
I know my Angel girl will look after you for now - ad one day soon we will all be running in heavens fields, together for all time.
You were the most beautiful friend - I shall miss you so much Dezi.
Hugs and cuddles to you forever
