His trick was to tip the cart over so he could lay down

Mickey's spirit still surrounds me and our home. I can sense him often and he visits me in my dreams. It doesnt replace missing his physical presence so much but it does help ease the pain to know he's still with me.

I often can smell him so strong at certain times on certain days, or I can hear him barking up a storm with the neighbors dog. I have to check and be sure he's not really there cause sometimes it sounds so much like Mickey I'm taken aback.

Mickey was my one dog that meant more to me than any of the others and he was my very special little guy. He will forever remain in my heart and the memories we shared will live on forever.

The photos I have added onto this page were taken 3 days before my boy left this world. He was so happy and full of life, I never imagined he would be gone too soon.

Last Night

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...

In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning

and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.
