I know what you think !
You think i am dead.
Because you can't see me anymore with your eyes..
Because you can't feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms ..
You think I am gone forever..
You remember me how i looked when i past away..
And you can't imagine that i'm living on in a other place.
You a torned apart with sorrow en pain about our seperation
And that make's you blind for that what is very close tot you ...ME


How many time's they have told you that i am dead en that you most get over it and go on ..
How many time's did you cry your self tot sleep because you did not feel understood..
Thinking , i have to get over it because people say that is normal..
How many time's did you hurt your self because you could not accept that i'm dead..
While nobody seems to understand it...

I want you to do something for me , go back in time with me !!!!
Remember the day when you took me home with you..
Was i not the most lovely ,intriguing creature that you had ever met !!
Didn't i look up to you with total love , so that you wan't nothing more than spending your life
with me ? I wanted that !!
Do you remember the days when i was young and healthey,
and all the things we did together? you were so proud of me..
I was your best friend who took care of you when you cryed , were angry or sad ...
And when you did not have match time for me because of obligations elswhere ,
I waited patiently for you ..I was there for you ...
I looked up to you with so match acceptance, love en patient , that it made you sometime's feel unworthy..
You were never unworthy in my eyes , always remember that !!!!!

Do you Remember when i got older ?
My bones became stiff and my movements got slower ..
I still greeted you at the door , and followed you trough our home..
We have bin so long together ..
I was your best friend no matter what you said or did ..
I looked up to you with so match warmth and notion , that you felt overwhelmed..
I could not get enough of you ..


Remember the last time we looked to each other with our terrestrial eyes..
you tryed to be brave , but i new you were crying..
I new you to well , better then anyone else on earth
I looked up to you with pure faith and love..
And you wanted to keep me save with you forever..
You promised me that you would love me for ever..
And I believed you .

Why have you let me go then , believing that i don't exist anymore?
Remember the depth in my eyes al the times you looked at me
with acception , patience, trust and love !!
Who made that love ?
Which creator would destroy wilful our song of love and joy ..
I'm not longer earthbound..
My body was just a part of who i am..
My body would be an empty shell if it was'nt filled with my soul ,my spirit , my light...
When we met , i was lovely en cute..
What was our relation if that was all i could be to you ..
How could you love me if i had not any spiritual depth ?

We are all made of energie ,deep in us ..
It's our soul , our spirit , our loving light ..
That is the energie of life..
It has no start or end .
It's just there and wil always be there ..
without that there is no life .
You can't see it or hold it in your hands ..
You can only know that it is there..
It's knowing, like you know that our love hase existed..
You could not hold that love in your hands or see it with your eyes, but you felt it was there.

People say that you have to forget me , and that you will never see me again because animals don't go to heaven..
I'm here to tell you otherwise, you are my eternal love worthy, like i am your's ..
Do you really think that our love would be taken away by our creator just because i'm not human?
Was i not a living . breathable, loving creature ?
How could i exist if i had not a soul , no energie, or loving light in me ?
Iff this light wil exist for ever , how can i be dead ?
if my being not was made from the energie of life , how could i have lived ? you know better ..

You cry because you mis me . i mis you to ...
I mis the belly rub , the hugs and kisses we sheared..
But life go's on after this wonderfull physical environment..
I came here to leed a new life.
I did'nt went away because i did not love you anymore , or that i wanted something else better ..
I went away because it was time for the next fase of my existence,something all living creature's at time most do..
My attendance in your life was a gift who must be honored, like i honored you ..
Life is not simply to be born in a body , live some years and than just die ...
Energie can not die !!! We recieve all a certain time in a body so we can learn, share , and grow.

It is preparing us for the next fase of our exsistense..
The body keeps the real lifes energie in it self, our soul ...
Without that our body's would be empty.

Without our energie we would be really dead, and we could never experience love for each other..
You say that all there is left are memories for you , dit is not true !!!
Understand , that when i left my terrestrial body . i left something behind with you !!!
You can't touch it or hold it in your arms , it's to big ...
I left a piece of my soul with you behind..
I placed it next to your soul , I found it the right place, because we were alway's together in this
earthly existence..
I love you too much to leave you behind with just memories, because memories fade..
I love you too much to just disapear, it would be selfish off me to take love and light out of your life..

I understand your tears .
Every tear is a proof of your love for me, and I feel honored and humble..
But don't forget all the good things we shared.
Remember it and smile, that's a honor to me...
And if you need me ,I will be there for you..
Close your eyes, take a deep breath , and take me in your mind ..
Close yourself off for the outside world ,and stop thinking about death as you now it ..
Give me a chance, look for subtleties I send to you...

Don't stop being proud of me , I am and alway's be your friend where you can be proud of.

I am still your friend !
Do not keep my death in your memories, but honor en celebrate my eternal life..
Because it is eternal, like my love and affection for you...

Till we meet again at the Rainbowbridge

I have always believed we carry our beloved Irish Setters with us in our hearts(as we do the people we have loved)...each of our puppies have grown with us and shared a particular part in our life's journey and it is truly a tribute to them that we love them enough to eventually find a new puppy to share the next steps in our journey with....we never forget or stop loving or missing our beloved Irish but we build new loves and memories with the next dog who helps to guide our steps in our trip.

Frans thank you so much for these wonderful comforting words. You are so kind and your Irish friend chose you because of that. S/he was so blessed to come into your life; and you will cherish those memories forever. May God bless you and keep in that loving spirit of the energetic, spirited, loyalty of the Irish Setter, the greatest friend on earth and at Rainbow Bridge.
