In every sunrise, every mountain

In every sunrise, every mountain

Every rainbow, every star

I'm loving you, I know you're there.

Are you sitting here beside me

Or were you that bird that flew.

I feel the wind blow in my ear,

And I'm wondering if it's you.

Are you reading over my shoulder?

Are you holding my hand right now?

I want to tell you I love you

But I'm not sure if I know just how.

I can feel you wiping my teardrops

And asking me please not to cry.

I'm missing you and loving you so much,

And I'm wondering why you had to die

For every bright star

For every bright star

In the heavens above

There’s an angel looking down on us

And sending us there love

 

When you look up to the skies

Someone is looking down

Wanting you to know

That they are still around

 

Although you cannot see them

They are standing by your side

Knowing all the pain you feel

And the tears you’ve cried

 

So when you look up to the sky

Up to the heavens above

Remember there watching over you

And thinking of you with love.

As long as forever

As long as forever I will stay by your side

I'll be your companion Your friend and your guide

 

As long as I live And as long as you care

I'll do anything for you I'll go anywhere

 

I'll bring you the sunshine I'll comfort your fears

I'll gather up rainbows To chase all your fears

 

As long as forever My heart will be true

For as long as I live I'll always love you

Sent with love

I believe in Angels

I wish it wasnt true,

We didnt want an Angel

We only wanted you,

 

Youve left behind our broken hearts.

Our thoughts and photos too.

We didnt want a memory

We only wanted you.

Remembering our Angel in Heaven at Christmas time

The sadness never goes away

The silent tears still flow

Your thought of and so sadly missed

More than you'll ever know

 

But now you're with the Angels

Safe and sound in Heaven above

We hold on to the memories

And treasure them with love

 

Yet special times like Christmas

Often make us wonder why

God took you from the world

It was too soon to say goodbye

 

But memories are precious

They will last a lifetime through

We know that God had chosen you

To be His Angel too ...

Tierische Weihnacht

Hoch am Himmel,

reitet das Christkind auf einem Schimmel.

Bringt mir süßem Fratz,

einen riesigen Schatz.

 

Hundekuchen, Leckerlis alles was das Herz begehrt,

wird mir heute beschert.

Reite Christkind, reite auch in die Welt hinaus,

kehre ein in jedes Hundehaus.

 

Sie warten doch schon auf dich,

deck allen Tieren heute den Tisch.

Ein Jeder freut sich über eine Kleinigkeit,

die Näpfe stehen schon bereit.

 

Hoch am Himmel,

reitet das Christkind auf einem Schimmel.

Es hat uns Tiere nicht vergessen,

nur mancher Mensch ist so vermessen.

 

Es ist doch so einfach, es ihm gleich zu machen,

unsere unbändige Lebensfreude bringt eure

Herzen zum lachen

uns auch zu lieben und zu schätzen,

nicht uns "aus" zu setzen.

 

Liebe, Treue werden wir euch schenken,

ihr müsst nur liebevoll uns gedenken!

 

(Rosie Taubmann)

Whispers of your voice

While you could not speak the words,

I could hear the whispers of your voice.

Telling me it was time to go,

to celebrate your life and rejoice.

 

You decided it was time to go and

find your resting ground.

You lay down your tired head and

went without a sound.

 

In my heart I know you loved me,

as much as I loved you.

I pray you've found the peace,

that's helped to see me through.

 

I thank you for all the joy in my life and

the smiles you've brought to me.

May God guide you on your journey and

may your spirit always run free.

Forget me not

Forget me not, for we must say goodbye.

Keep me in your heart, and I will never die.

The long road ahead may seem very tough,

But sure, happy memories are more than enough.

Spread my ashes through soul and mind.

For my spirit will live on in hearts of those I find.

Do not stand beside me and fully weep.

Even though the loss may feel very deep.

Take comfort in knowing that I loved you,

A love we shared, a love that grew.

So do not forget me, our love has no end.

I’m glad we met, my one true friend.

... es weihnachtet schon

Ich geh' mit Herrchen durch die Strassen,

es weihnachtet schon überall.

Lichter glänzen auch in unserem Garten,

sicherlich kein Einzelfall.

In den Fenstern leuchten Sterne,

Weihnachtsengel schau'n uns an,

Kerzenschimmer hat Frauchen auch sehr gerne,

denn das erfreut den Weihnachtsmann.

 

Für mich zählt Weihnachten nur das eine,

ob Fleischwurst auch an Bäumen wachsen kann.

Der Weihnachtsbaum ist dann der MEINE,

da lass' ich keinen and'ren ran!

 

Fröhliche Weihnachten euch allen,

haltet euch krabbelig und gesund.

Das neue Jahr soll euch gefallen,

das gilt für die Menschen und auch den Hund.

You're in my thoughts again today

You're in my thoughts again today

As you so often are

And I can't help but wish sometimes

That you were not quite so far

But life has it's place for us both

And though we are far apart

You're never really further than

Right here inside my heart

 

(Author unknown)

I'll just wait in Heaven

I'll just wait in Heaven

Til we meet again

I know you miss me

Just remember I am free

From pain and sorrow

God's love fills each tomorrow

My love's in your heart

We'll never be apart

Cherish the love we share

Remember how much I care

Someday we'll be together

Because love lives forever

So I'll just wait in heaven

Til we meet again

Good-bye

I know my time has ended

Its time for me to leave

I want you all to know

You mean so much to me

 

Why I had to go

Was a mystery to me

All I heard was God

Saying “Please come home to me”

 

So I left my friends and family

I didn’t say goodbye

All I got to see

Were the tears in their eyes

 

But as I saw them crying

I asked them not to grieve

Knowing how much we care

That our love will never cease

 

You can look up at the sky

And look over to the sea

When you feel that gentle breeze

You always think of me

 

When your time comes

To join me up above

We will be reunited

And still, we’ll have our love

Das Hundeweihnachten

Draus von Walstedde komm ich her,

und ich muss euch sagen,

es weihnachtet mal wieder sehr.

Woran kann man das erkennen?

Ganz einfach: die Menschen rennen.

Wohin, woher, ich weiß es nicht,

in den Gärten leuchtet auch so manches Licht.

Frauchen in der Küche steht,

ein leckerer Duft durchs Hause weht.

Die Kinder basteln und singen Lieder,

und das immer wieder.

Tannenbäume werden geschlagen,

und dann nach Hause getragen.

Geschenke gibt es groß und klein,

auch dieses Jahr soll es nur das beste sein.

 

Ganz anders sieht man es als Hund,

Hektik ist doch ungesund.

Ob Plätzchenduft und Lichterschein,

Hauptsache, ich bin nicht allein.

Mit wenig bin ich schon zufrieden,

wichtig ist, dass Herrchen und Frauchen mich lieben.

 

Ich habe es ganz gut getroffen,

mein Herrchen ist fast nie besoffen.

Klar, er schimpft schon mal,

doch das ist mir wurschtegal.

"Barny, lass das", sagt er dann,

und regt sich fürchterlich auf,

vor allem, wenn ich mit Lördchen rauf'.

Wenn Frauchen böse ist, so hilft ein Trick,

und das ist mein treuer Barny-Blick.

Weihnachten geht es mir noch viel besser, nicht wahr?

Denn dann ist die ganze Familie für mich da.

'Twas the night before Christmas (4) (The Day After Christmas?) (or: Christmas puppy) (or: Twas the night before Christmas ... rescue version)

'Twas the night before Christmas

I've found many canine versions of this Holiday classic – here one of the variants.

*****

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in the beds,

With no thought of the dog filling their heads.

And mama with her ‘kerchief and I in my cap,

Knew he was cold, but didn't care about that. 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash.

'Twas the night before Christmas (3)

'Twas the night before Christmas

*****

 

It was about time for Christmas, and all through the house

A creature was stirring, but it wasn't a mouse.

I knew right away it was my wife's little pup,

She thought we were sleeping, and so she was up.

The dog was a gift it was coercion, really,

A woman can pout, 'til a man gets downright silly.

And now the wife was snoozing she was really sacked out

She wouldn't have awoke from less than a shout.

Yes, her in her nightgown, I in my BVDs,

We had finally settled down to catch some Zs.

When off in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,

I rolled from the bed to see what was the matter.
