Vale for our darling Gemma.
Parkwyn Gold N Gem, known to you all as Gemma. 15/3/'00 - 15/7/'13
Why are you crying, I am not there. Look not for me by the favorite chair, I am not there. See me not at the bed's foot, Nor at the door's step, I am not there. Do not look to the earth's cold hand, It could not hold me, I am not there. Look to the midnight star, a comet's flash, Racing shadows in the field, sun lights Dance on water's edge. Hear me, the rustle of the grass, Pine bough sigh, the beat of bird's wings, The rain's quiet tattoo. Feel me in your heart, for it is there I cannot leave. Wait for my loving kiss, my paw's soft touch At Rainbow Bridge. I will meet you there, and we shall dance again, Together. Author unknown |

So sorry for your loss, GF. It was a good run, though, with lots of good memories and a large place for her in your heart...
Gemma

That is a beautiful poem for a beautiful sheltie. Shelties are special dogs that leave so many memories, many of them strange. But the strange ones are the ones that make you laugh the most when you remember them. I'm so sorry, Goldfields.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. You are a very special group of friends, dog lovers to the core who can feel for a dog half a world away, and have empathy with its owner. Sad times that we all unfortunately have to get through in our turn. A District Nurse who was here yesterday is grieving still for a beautiful Border Collie she lost maybe 2 years ago. I will try to be positive. It was a delight to own a pretty little girl like Gemma. Lindapalm is right in the she did make us laugh a lot, and so many nice memories. Losing Gemma makes me think I need to cherish every day I have with the remaining shelties, 2 of which are now 12 years old, and two are 10.
