Rakki (An old shetland word for 'The dog'), came into this world on Christmas Day 1994, and had a fantastic life until last night. With great sadness, but without pain, he went off to the big beach in the sky where the water is always warm, and the smell of lady dogs are always on the dunes. The Vet releived you of your pain my boy, but nothing at the moment can mend the broken hearts of me and your mum. Does anyone know of a special-glue that can do this? The pain may eventually fade, but your memory and love that you shared with us will never fade away.

How i wish i had some 'magic glue' to mend your broken hearts...
Here's to Rakki... may he live long and strong in your hearts... Rakki will be waiting at the bridge for you...

Much love
Donna and charliex

Thank you so much for your kind words. Only time will ease the sadness and pain that we feel. From the first day we held him we knew that that day would come. No matter how much you prepare yourself for it happening, the shock and wretchedness can not be prepared for.

Love David & Tracy...

Nothing but time will mend your hearts I'm afraid. God how I wish there was some magic glue. In the meantime here's part of a poem I wrote for my sister (The whole poem is on 'For Bev and Abbi', on this board)on the first year anniversary of losing her beloved dog: And this part I feel is particularly appropriate for you right now:

I'm nestled snugly in your heart
And there I will remain
Until one day, upon a time
We'll meet and play again

Love Kat

Thank you for the lovely poem that you sent. The kind words of fellow pet lovers are a great comfort to us.
