Poochie was my Angel. She came into my life at 10 weeks old and for 14 years, she saved my life over and over again.

Poochie was beautiful, smart, stubborn, possessive, loving and empathic. She took care of me and gave me a purpose in life. She taught me so many lessons that I will cherish forever.

Poochie proved to me that true love really does exist. Whatever else happens in the world, I can say I knew true love. Poochie was and will always be what makes my heartbeat. She will always be my Special Angel.

A Prayer for My Angel Poochie

Dear God, Bless my Poochie Bless her spirit and her soul Bless her beautiful body and make it strong again and whole.

Please keep her happy and healthy, safe and warm and dry Protect her both where I laid her down and where with wings she flies.

Let her be able to walk again, to run and jump and play. Let her dreams be sweet ones; give her peace and fun each day.

Please don't ever let her be cold or wet or scared or feel alone. Don't ever let her feel pain again, let her illness all be gone.

She never deserved one moment of pain after all the good she's done She deserves only great rewards in her new eternal home.

Please ask her to forgive me for all I did not do, For not being able to protect her from all that she went through.

I could neither heal her nor take her pain away My love could not save her life as hers did for me each day.

Please ask her to forgive me for taking her life away. I could not bear to hear her cry or watch her suffer one more day.

Please ask her to forgive me if I made a wrong or hasty choice Her painful cries were so loud they drowned out any doubtful voice.

Now the silence lets the doubts scream out so loud and clear Filled with questions and regrets I let her go too soon, I fear.

I pray she knows I acted out of love, so true and pure She was the purpose in my life, the one my heart beat for.

She proved to me true love exists, love I could count on She saved my life a thousand times and gave me reason to go on.

I pray she knows how much I loved her and how much I love her still More than anything I have ever loved or anything I ever will.

I pray she knows how much I miss her, how I long to hold her close To feel her in my arms again, kiss her head, her feet, her nose

To look into her deep brown eyes and know she understood To have her love and faith in me, she believed that I was good.

She gave me courage, hope and strength and something to live for It is because of her my heart still beats, because of her that I endure.

I thank You, God, for the blessing of the angel You sent my way I thank You for every moment with her, every hour, every day

I don't know what I did to deserve this precious gift You brought But I know I must continue to live the lessons Poochie taught.

So please, God, Bless my Poochie She did so much good in so few years Shower her with blessings that outnumber all my tears

Let her still watch over me until my life comes to its end Then let us be reunited, Forever, together again.

Love, Mommy
