12-24-2009 10:36 AM -- By: Kia and Deb, From:  my thoughts are with you Carman on this first Christmas with out your beautiful little girl,.......Christmas is a time for love
The love that filled your heart
You were such a special gift
That in my life won't part
The times of love and joy remain
They never go away
You keep my heart so centered
Forever and a day
You brought a special Christmas gift
You shared it through the years
The laughter and the peace you gave
Shall always keep you near
The times in life we put away
Within a treasured place
Are gathered in a gold bound book
That fills a gentle space
In searching for a piece of you
There’s much that I can find
For in this life you were the joy
Of love that truly binds
And so this Christmas I shall seek
The joy that you acquired
Holding on with all my might
The love that you inspired
For you were loved by many
With every passing day
The heart of Christmas that we seek
Is now a breath away
I whisper words that you will hear
Within the soft cool breeze
A plethora of gentle thoughts
That put my heart at ease
When I awake on Christmas day
It's you that I shall hear
Wishing me the happiness
You shared with me each year
Time and space will have no bounds
For you are in my soul
The beauty of your love inspired
Through every story told.
12-24-2009 12:12 AM -- By: Linda B, From: NJ  Happy Holidays to you Caren for Gypsy-
"We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,
longing for one who has gone before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today.. And so in our dreams we wander far
From the scenes and sounds of earth
‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child's birth. . The Angels we envision there
As they join in the festive play
And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today.. There's joy in the faith that teaches
When our life's work is done Of a place in Heaven awaiting And the crown we worked for is won.. In our grief may we learn well the lesson So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one And to spend Christmas together some day."

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious soIt Came Upon A Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.ng of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

We'll Never Say Goodbye
I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears,
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.
You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall,
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I'm sure I hear you call.
A part of you remains with me
That none can take away;
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of each day.
I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh,
But this I know--we'll meet again
And never say good-bye.

12-16-2009 10:13 PM -- By: Bob, From: Ct  The loss of such a special girl is so hard to understand. The time we have with our pets seems like for ever only to realize how fast time goes by. I know it's been a month since Gypsy Rose has passed but somehow it still feels like yesterday. I do believe that we will meet our special pets once again in time, then we will have eternity hold - play - and talk with them. Untill then keep her memory in your heart and she will always be with you.
12-16-2009 11:37 AM -- By: Ann Singh, From: Albany, NY Hi Caren and Gypsy Rose,
Thank you very much for wishing Max a Happy Birthday. Truly means alot to us. We miss him so terribly still.
12-16-2009 7:47 AM -- By: KIA, From: one month angel day.. for Gypsy Rose.......Part of Our Hearts Forever
Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes
or the way you brightened each day,
or your smile which is etched in our memories,
so you're never far away?
Could we ever forget those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives for a brief time,
but you'll be part of our hearts forever
12-16-2009 12:28 AM -- By: Linda, From: NJ Caren,
Just stopping by on your Rosie's first month in heaven. I am so sorry. I know your heart aches. She is still always with you though in your heart & in spirit, please always remember that.
Comfort For A Friend
My friend I know you’re hurting
with sorrow deep and true;
I wish that there was something
I could do for you.
To simply say “I’m sorry”
just doesn’t seem to be
Enough to adequately express
my heartfelt sympathy.
Night has fallen on your heart
and cast a shadow long;
Your world is changed forever
and you can’t believe she’s gone.
You lost a family member
who was loved like all the rest;
A loyal, loving companion
who always gave her best.
But time will heal your broken heart
though it may take awhile;
Sweet memories will replace the loss
you’ll think of her and smile.
She’s crossed the RainbowBridge, my friend
and will never be alone;
She’s carefree and contented now
in her new celestial home.
12-15-2009 6:16 PM -- By: pat, fayeroe and tippy, From: the wild, wild west  If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.

Today and Forevermore
Hold fast to your memories,
to all of the cherished moments of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories in your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart,
today and forevermore.
It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter.
And although it may
seem hard right now,
it will be the memory
of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again.
12-13-2009 11:50 PM -- By: Crystal, From:  Gypsy Rose is beautiful and I can tell she is loved and missed.
I know how hard it is to lose a baby - they take a piece of our heart with them. My all the happy memories of Gypsy Rose out weigh the pain.
I have several fur babies on here-Kasen,Trixie,Kasey and one memorial for Midnight,Missy & Bubbles. They are all loved and missed so much.
12-13-2009 4:44 PM -- By: Linda & Milo, From: NJ Hi Caren-
You asked how I get the poems. All I do is google like pet loss and copy and paste them on the site. Then you can google Heathers Animations & copy them then design your memorial they way you want. You go to Edit Memorial and type your password then add pages as much as you want & graphics also.

We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,

To spend Christmas in Heaven today..
And so in our dreams we wander far

‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child's birth. .
The Angels we envision there

And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today..
There's joy in the faith that teaches
When our life's work is done
Of a place in Heaven awaiting
And the crown we worked for is won..
In our grief may we learn well the lesson
So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one
And to spend Christmas together some day.

12-11-2009 10:38 PM -- By: Linda , From: NJ Hi! Caren-
Just stopping by and thinking of you & your Gypsy Rose. Hope you are feeling a little better.Please remember she is still always with you in spirit!
Her LONG SLEEP
She wagged her tail to the very last
And she smiles in her last, long sleep;
The troubles of life, for her, are past!
A shrine in my heart I'll keep.
Her soul---for I feel that she had a soul
And she thought real thoughts, I know---
Has found the ultimate end, life's goal,
In the heaven where good dogs go.
She has lived with me and suffered with me
Shed tears, in her dog like way;
She has placed her paw at times on my knee,
In a vain attempt to say;
"God never gave us that wondrous power,
To tell all the things we feel,
But, I want to say, in my canine way,
That my sympathy is real."
So I loved my dog to the very end,
And she in our daily walk,
Was never just dog, but a constant friend
And we had no need to talk.
And I hope, when the summons comes, for me
To embark on the unknown tide,
I shall find her eyes in the Paradise
They say is the other side.

12-10-2009 5:20 PM -- By: Dorothy, From:  I'm so very very sorry for the loss of your precious Gypsy Rose, what a perfect little angel. These wonderful animals come into our lives and leave much too soon. However their unconditional love and devotion are undeniable. I know how very hard these past weeks have been for you, I still miss our Baci so very much and its only been 9 months. These perfect angels add so very much to our lives, and when they are gone it's so very different. May happy memories of Gypsy Rose always give you a warm feeling in your heart. Now she will be your guardian angel and watch over you, and she will always be in your heart and mind....Bless you....

In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.
12-08-2009 9:35 PM -- By: joe, From: EL Paso TX  I talked to a priest friend here in New Mexico. I asked him the question about if animals have souls. He told me if you read the fine lines of the bible and other biblical material you will find that all creatures large and small walk swimming flying have souls. So the answer to your question is YES ALL ANIMALS HAVE SOULS. I hope this will help you, and God Bless you.
12-08-2009 2:45 PM -- By: Lauvern, From:  Hi Caren. I just wanted to stop in and let you know you arein my thoughts. I posted a poem to you that someone had given me when i first lost Luke. I think that will answer your question in the Forums. I really enjoyed the poem and hope you will too. It has gone into review but i am sure you will get it.
Take care. Hugs.
12-08-2009 2:40 PM -- By: , From:
An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt
road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate
in the fence and looked in, it was nice - grassy,
woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would
like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so
they walked on.
They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white
robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven"
he said. The old man was happy and started in with his
dog following him.
The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed,
I'm sorry but he can't come with you." "What
kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If He can't come in,
then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful
companion all his life, I can't desert him now.
" "Suit yourself, but I have to warn you,
the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you
into his area, he'll promise you anything, but, the dog can't
go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll
spend Eternity on this road " So the old man and
dog went on.
They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate,
just a hole. Another old man was inside. "Scuse me Sir,
my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in
and sit in the shade for awhile?" "Of course, there's
some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves
comfortable " "You're sure my dog can come in?
The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed
anywhere." "Would you come in if you had to leave
the dog?" " No sir, that's why I didn't go to
Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in. We'll be spending
Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some
shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't
come in if my buddy here can't come too,
and that's final. "
The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."
"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that
fellow down the road said they weren't?" "That was the
Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life
long companion for a comfortable place to stay.
They soon find out their mistake, but, then it's too late.
The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there.
GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all,
HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he
separate them in death?"
12-06-2009 2:35 PM -- By: Mary Lou, From: PA  Caren: Thank you for visiting Simey girls website. I miss her terribly and the holidays are even worse. I think she thought she was human as she did so many things that "people" do. Yes, she loved to dress up - I had several halloween costumes for her and she would pose for the camera. I started this when she was around 8 weeks old and she loved it. I went on your website for Gypsy Rose, and Caren she is absolutely beautiful. What a sweetheart! I hope she has met my Simey as she was gentle and never scratched, hissed never bit - she was a gift from God to us. Wishing you a happy Christmas and I hope our little angels are comfortable and playing in the warm sunshine. God Bless, Mary Lou - Simey's Mummy

The Last Will & Testament of an Extremely Loved Dog
I, Gypsy Rose Crump (familiarly known to my family, friends & acquaintances as Gypsy Rose), because the burden of my years and infirmities is heavy upon me, and I realize the end of my life is near, do hereby bury my last will and testament in the mind of my Master. He will not know it is there until after I am dead. Then, remembering me in his loneliness, he will suddenly know of this testament, and I ask him to inscribe it as a memorial to me.
I have little in the way of material things to leave. Dogs are wiser than men. They do not set great store upon things. They do not waste their days hoarding property. They do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have, and to obtain objects they have not.
There is nothing of value I have to bequeath except my love and my loyalty. These I leave to all those who have loved me, especially to my Master and Mistress, who I know will mourn me the most.
I ask my Master and my Mistress to remember me always, but not to grieve for me too long. In my life, I have tried to be a comfort to them in time of sorrow, and a reason for added joy in their happiness. It is painful for me to think that even in death I should cause them pain.
Let them remember that while no dog has ever had a happier life (and this I owe to their love and care for me), now that I have grown blind and deaf and lame, and even my sense of smell fails me so that a rabbit could be right under my nose and I might not know, my pride has sunk to a sick, bewildered humiliation.
I feel life is taunting me with having overlingered my welcome. It is time I said good-bye, before I become too sick a burden on myself and on those who love me.
It will be a sorrow to leave them, but not a sorrow to die. Dogs do not fear death as men do. We accept it as part of life, not as something alien and terrible which destroys life. What may come after death, who knows?
I would like to believe that there is a Paradise. Where one is always young and full-bladdered. Where all the day one dillies and dallies. Where each blissful hour is mealtime. Where in the long evenings there are a million fireplaces with logs forever burning, and one curls oneself up and blinks into the flames and nods and dreams, remembering the old brave days on earth and the love of one's Master and Mistress.
I am afraid that this is too much for even such a dog as I am to expect. But peace, at least, is certain. Peace and a long rest for my weary old heart and head and limbs, and eternal sleep in the earth I have loved so well.
Perhaps, after all, this is best.
One last request, I earnestly make. I have heard my Mistress say, "When Gypsy Rose dies we must never have another dog. I love her so much I could never love another one". Now I would ask her, for love of me, to have another. It would be a poor tribute to my memory never to have a dog again.
What I would like to feel is that, having once had me in the family, she cannot live without a dog!
I have never had a narrow, jealous spirit. I have always held that most dogs are good. My successor can hardly be as well loved or as well mannered or as distinguished and handsome as I was in my prime. My Master and Mistress must not ask the impossible. But he will do his best, I am sure, and even his inevitable defects will help by comparison to keep my memory green.
To him I bequeath my collar and leash and my overcoat and raincoat He can never wear them with the distinction I did, all eyes fixed on me in admiration; but again I am sure he will do his utmost not to appear a mere gauche provincial dog.
I hereby wish him the happiness I know will be his in my old home.
One last word of farewell, dear Master and Mistress. Whenever you visit my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also with happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long, happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved". No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail.
I will always love you as only a dog can.

12-06-2009 7:24 AM -- By: Suzie, From: Jacksonville,Fl  I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Keto last year before Christmas. My heart still breaks. I can barely go day to day without hurting and missing him. I know your pain you are not alone. We thank God we had the time with our babies. We are blessed to have known such love and friendship. I have to hope that one day Keto and I will be together again or I could not go on. They are waiting for us in Heaven. There is no pain, no sorrow. So, we will remember the love and know well be together again soon. Love in Christ.
12-05-2009 1:16 AM -- By: Janice, Duke & our furbabies family, From:  Caren,
The story about Gypsy Rose is very very sad. I can imagine your pain. Do not feel guilty about loving Tinker; that is what Gypsy Rose would want. When my Duke died, I felt the same way b/c he is my soul-mate, my everything, but I had four other dogs to care for. The animal communicator told me that Duke wanted me to give them all the same love that I had given to him. It was hard at first, but I know Duke would only ask what is in my best interest. Gypsy Rose would feel the same way about you and Tinker. Much love to your Gypsy Rose, and give Tinker big kisses and hugs for us too.
12-05-2009 1:07 AM -- By: Janice, Duke & our furbabies family, From: Minnetonka, MN Dear Caren,
I am so sorry for the recent loss of your fur baby Gypsy Rose. She was adorable, and not very old either. How sad to lose her so soon; eight years is a short time for a small dog. Bless her precious soul! I can understand the grief you must be feeling. These are devastating times b/c they are such perfect friends and companions; so sweet, so loving. Me, Duke and my fur babies family at RB, send Gypsy Rose our love, hugs and kisses. What a precious fur angel.

12-04-2009 8:42 AM -- By: Lauvern, From: Hi Caren. I just wanted to stop in and let you know you were being thought of today. Hope all is well with you. I love this picture of Gypsy Rose. She looks so precious, looking right at the camera.
Take care and stay strong.. Hugs
P/S Give Tinker a big hug from me. What a sweety!!!!!
