Just a Dog no way

They say I am just a dog and that I have nothing much to relay

But let me tell you otherwise I understand everything you say

I just like to keep you guessing and thinking I am just having fun

But really I win all the time and keep you on the run 

I have so many ways in which I talk to you, I bark a lot and chew on things, like that brand new leather shoe

I have a way I use my eyes to make you understand, that I want that food you munching on in your hand

I use my tail to accentuate my need for a hug, and I will sit there looking until you it does bug

I use my wobble to say I am excited you are here, for there is nothing I like better than to have you close my dear

I then use the sounds that melt your heart, that soft little moan I use, surely lights in your heart a fuse.

And then I use the one thing that makes you understand, I sit on your lap and kiss you so that you feel like you are floating in never land

I then make use of the bed so soft and snuggle in with you, for if I didnt on a winter night your toes would certainly turn bright blue. 

So you see I have a lot to say and the play is just some extra to brighten your day, I speak and understand so easily to you and listen to what you say. 

Just a Dog NO WAY.

A Cavalier at Christmas

A Cavalier at Christmas, such a wonderful sight to see,

A cavalier that gives lots of love to you and to me.

For on the day we celebrate a birth so wonderful and true

We have our sweet little cavaliers to cuddle up to. 

Their softness and their beauty are as wonderful as can be

And its easy to understand that love we feel when a cavalier sits on your knee. 

There is nothing quite as special as their soft black nose and big round eyes that glow, and its wonderful to watch their tail as the feathers in them flow. 

Their gracefulness and look is something to behold,

for these cute little dogs are always very bold. 

And in the climate where there is snow these cavaliers with a full coat will gladly go.

But in the place where the sun is out and days are filled with heat,

There is nothing they like better than on the beach, a seat. 

And when its time to unwrap the gifts and hear the laughter and fun, in the middle of it all will be a cavalier on the run. They will crab with joy the paper and throw it all

around, and rip it all to shreds so no more can be found. 

Once the food is ready they sit quietly by your feet, hoping oh just hoping that maybe they can taste the pudding that smells so very sweet. 

They look at you with eyes so large and round and you find your self completely spellbound. Before you know it they are enjoying a treat, and the look on their face you can never beat. 

One can’t help but giggle at the thought of Christmas day, and just knowing that your cavalier will be beside you enjoying this very special day.

Poem by Julie Schofield

M Memories of you will always be so bright

Y You my little one who has today lost the fight 

B Brave little man who stayed as long as he could

E Enjoying the love of the neighborhood

L Laughter and games always surrounded him

O Oh how much joy to our life you did bring

V Viscount, yes royal, is our Lord Kent, it has such a nice ring

E Everyone knew how you loved to pose

D Dear little fellow with a cute button nose 

K Keen you were to please everyone, especially your sweet mum

E Everyday you would sit on her chair

N Never anyone else would dare

T The other's would watch and know you were king 

T They would pass by with sniff and a wag

H Hey Lord Kent come and play tag

E Eventually though it seemed you had to go 

C Cause God needed a special boy to help him

A always willing to show others the way

V Violins play as Kent crosses the bridge

A Angels hover as he passes the ridge

L Looking back he will see his mum cry

I Instantly knowing that he had died

E Endings are sad but the future is bright

R Rainbows will always be within Kent's sight 

"Goodbye my family I will see you one day and I will pose once again as we all run and play. Thank you for loving me and caring so much, I always loved that you made such a fuss. The bridge is now ready for me to cross the rainbow is glowing and I am ready to go. I hear God calling me so my time has now passed, I am ready to sit with him in the cool summer grass"

The Vision

I saw a ship with beautiful sails on a foggy

winter’s morn; it seemed so peaceful

as it passed by no sound came from it at all.

I stood and watched the beauty as it passed me by the shore, and when I

looked around to see

who was on it;

there it was no more. I stood and wondered

why this vision had come my way, and then God reminded me we must all pass

away some day.

And even though the beauty goes from our sight

the image remains in our hearts and

it remains so bright.

So take some comfort just now and know that for sure, your  pets are safe with God in

His land forever more.
