My Dear Amber...............

[lilacben]

My darling dog (Rough Collie) Amber, aged 12 has died. My husband and I came back from holiday yesterday and at the airport I recieved a phone call from my daughter to say Amber had died in her sleep that night. I am heartbroken as she was at kennels and I never got to give her a hug and tell her I loved her so much.

Many Thanks to you all for your kind words.Myhusband and I picked her up from the kennels and took her to the vet. We are having her cremated. I miss her so much and it is still hurts so much.All the guilt.! Ben ,my other rough collie, keeps looking for her and is very quite, for him.!! Amber was my dog but Ben ,well, just like a man really!! never takes any notice of me.

PLease know that he is being looked after now.

Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?
And do you pat its head?
Does he sit up and beg each night
before he goes to bed?

Does he look up with shining eyes
when he sees Your smilling face?
Does he wag his stubby little tail
when he wants to run a race?

Have You a dog in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little dog died today;
he'll be waiting at Your door.

Please take him into Heaven, Lord.
And keep him there for me,
just feed him, pet him,l ove him, Lord,
thats all he'll ask of Thee.
