Today my friend's dog Zeta was put to sleep. She was a beautiful black german shepherd and she had reached the grand age of 14 and a half and remained cheeky and happy to the end. She was the founding bitch of my friends kennel, and I have a grandson and grandaughter of hers and they are truly wonderful dogs.

She has many greetings to make at the bridge, not least my friends husband, who adored Zeta and who sadly himself died 14 months ago.

She was unwell yesterday, and when we took her to the vet this morning, it was found that she had developed a heart problem that was causing bleeding into her chest, and at her age there was nothing we could do but let her go. It was the only time in her life she had ever been ill. She went very peacefully and will leave a massive hole in her wake. I was glad I was with you Zeta, along with your Mum, when your time came.

Zeta the brave - run fee sweetheart, it was a privilege to know you, and I will miss you loads too.

So very sorry.  Rest in peace Zeta

So sorry, sleep well Zeta

Sad news A very good age...sleep well until you meet up with your owner again.

R.I.P  Zeta, and Cyber Hugs to your friend and her family.
What a Grand age!

Jonelle

Thinking of you all,

Run free Zeta.

Very sorry to all concerned. xx

So very sorry, terrific age, a long happy and healthy life, we cannot ask for more.  God bless, run free Zeta

A letter from your pet in heaven
Author Unknown

To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."

God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.

I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.

God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."

"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."

So sorry to hear but at least she is running free at the Bridge with her dad now.

End of an era.
