June 14, 2008 - Little's Bookmark

I had to go searching for the poem you see on here. This poem is my favorite when it comes to the loss of our pets.

The problem in finding it was that I could only remember just a few words of it. I put those words into the search bar on Google, and one of the first links, if not the first link was to an article written by an editor of an Indiana newspaper who was being faced with the same thing that we had just gone through - - her dog's final days. A friend of hers had given her the poem that I needed for Little's memorial bookmark, and she generously offered it in her article about her dog.

I had to order a minimum of 16 bookmarks to order them, and I had no idea what I would do with 16 bookmarks of Little Dog. Still, I ordered them anyways. We love her, and we wanted to do this for her.

Over the last few days, we have received several notes and cards from family and friends expressing kind words of support and in honor of Little. So, I have now decided that as soon as I receive the bookmarks, I will send a "thank you" and bookmark to everyone who remembered us - and Little - during this sad time.
