The Bed And The Box
I’m looking at my two angels; it’s struck midnight on the clocks;
One laying in his “little beddie”, the other resting in his “little box”!
The first one I hear snoring, and watch his chest go up and down;
The second one is quiet, for his ashes make no sound!
But I’m making some noises for him, with my sobs that fill the air;
And the teardrops falling freely, for he’s no longer there!
Then I look to the one who’s dreaming, with a fear that will come true;
How will I ever survive it, when in a box, he’s resting too!
I shudder at my future, inevitable, no altered course;
Too soon I’ll lose “this” little angel, to fates forthcoming force!
The first one nearly killed me; I’m scarred from head to toe;
For he was much more than a doggie, a son, that I loved so!
And now, his little Brother, is the same age as was he;
The night Fate came in and stole him, my life’s greatest tragedy!
I’m looking at my little angels, so petrified of what I know;
Too soon he’ll join his Brother, and insane I’ll surely go!

Hi Debs,
I try to contemplate how I will go on after I lose the second of my three soulmates. In my portent to this unavoidable catastrophe, I will have to rely on my Linda to be my lifejacket on the raging sea. Yet, I know as a man, it should be me saving her. But in this instance, our roles must be reversed. Thank you for your understanding the depth of my impending depression.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Oh my beautiful Larry, my darling that piece is so stunning and it says it all doesn`t it sweetie. We all have to go and we know that, but it`s true that the ones left behind are devastated. My life fell apart and will never be fixed. When Andrew left me I locked myself away from the world and stay in my room, it`s the only way I live now, I haven`t left the house since he died but you two and writing help me cope and they`re the only thing that keeps me going. Your words in this piece have expressed my feelings perfectly for me too. Well done for a beautiful poem and please give Cody a big kiss and a cuddle from his aunty G and can you send me a picture of you all please!
God bless and don`t forget that I adore you both
G xx
Our Dear Georgina,
Your words help me face the inevitable pain that is forthcoming. It is unbelievable how our suffering coincides, and we are able to throw each other vastly needed lifelines. Together, holding hands and souls, we will overcome these abysmal valleys and climb the mountaintops again.
I love you forever,
xox Larry
I love you too sweetie.

Hello Larry...
I have a dog who I have had since she was six weeks old...
I saved her life and one of her siblings when she was three days old...
She just turned fourteen...
That is ninety-eight in people years...
I can think about how sad I will be when she is no longer with me or...
I can appreciate her cranky attitude that she shows because now she is older than me...
I promised her that when it comes time to say goodbye that with a sad heart I will have to let her go...
I will not find another like her...
I thanked her for her patience and I thanked her for sharing her life with me...
I will not let her suffer...
There is a great future being prepared for her...
Great write!Â
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Hi sparrowsong,
Thank you for your beautiful letter of support and understanding. It's been almost 17 months since I lost my Nico, and I still cry oft times a day. My problem is, that I don't feel he got his full longevity, and was taken from me at a time when I thought his illness he developed on Saturday would be treated and gone within a few days. Unfortunately, on Monday night, the only thing that was gone, was him. Now, having to think about a similar fate for his little brother, is eating me alive. I truly thank you for trying to ease my pain.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Oh my Larry,
If only I could hold you both tight in my arms! I would do my best to comfort you both and smother you both with my love. We have lost 4 dogs in the last 10 years in our family and I still cry for them. They were all my babies. One of them was Andrews dog Benson, he was a Bull Mastiff and he was so loving and protective. He was 18 stone of pure muscle and when he stood up on his hind legs to give me a cuddle with his front paws on my shoulders he measured six foot eight! I`m only five foot tall so he was the size of a horse to me. He was a huge loving gentle giant. He used to come and sit on my feet to guard me if someone walked past the house, he was protecting me and he was my hero. We got up one morning and found him on the kitchen floor, he just looked as if he was asleep. He died of a heart attack in the night. This piece is a beautifully well written and well thought out piece and I`m very, very proud of you.
I adore you both

Our dear Georgina,
We know exactly what you are talking about with Benson, for we found our dear Nico on the living room floor at around eleven at night. We had laid him down to rest in living room bed (he and Cody each had two beds, the ones in our bedroom and the ones in the living room that looked out our large sliding glass doors to the back yard). Just like poor Benson, it was partially due to his heart. You know in many of the poems I have written, I question why dogs have such an abbreviated longevity, when animals like the elephants you love, oft times live to be seventy-five. I sure wish we would have known you seventeen months ago, for you would have been a remarkable aide in relieving some of our pain.
We love you,
Linda and Larry
I`m always here for you both. Give Cody a big hug from his auntie G xx
