My Dog Bonnie

[Holly E. Hansford]

Today has been a sad day for all of us, for today on January 22nd, 2014 we had to say good bye to our 9 year old Shetland Sheepdog Bonnie as we had to put her down because she lost her battle with cancer she will be gratefully miss and with that as I say good bye to my family member, my friend I share this quote I found: 

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside... for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements... and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth... though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land... for you are my god... and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest...and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

--Beth Norman 

GOOD BYE BONNIE we will see each other again but until then I will relish in the fun memories that we had together. Rest in Peace my dear friend. You will be FOREVER missed but with you up in Heaven you will be able to bring company to my Grandmother.  
Love your Masters,
Holly, Dad, and Mom
We Love you

Dearest Holly,
No words can express how hard this must be for you. I know you'll cherish every memory you have of her and never forget... You put her needs first when you said goodbye, there is no greater kindness that you could have bestowed upon her. My thoughts are with you and your family sweetheart.

[Holly E. Hansford]

Thank you guys.

Aww Holly she was a pretty dog. At least she is no longer in pain and she is in a better place. If i lost my dog i wouldn't know what to do with myself

I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets are family members and we grieve the loss just as hard
I hope you will find a smile when you think of her and remember her always.
