Jingo was een geweldig maatje van mij.

Die 11 jaar waren voor hem en mij een gezonde en mooie tijd.

Met zijn schofthoogte van 74 cm was hij ook nog eens een flinke jongen die ook door zijn lange haren imponerend overkwam op veel mensen.

Hij was nooit ziek en altijd gezond, alert, trouw, loyaal, vriendelijk, lief en waakzaam.

Hij was helemaal dol op zwemmen, meegaan in de auto en ravotten met stokken, mij en plastic flessen.

Jingo is na 11 jaar trouwe kameraadschap overleden.

Onze grote vriendin Elmeja Tika

Tika was een fantastische hond altijd vrolijk en erg lief.
Geen kwaad te bekennen.

Zij trad altijd op als de katten weer eens
te hardhandig met elkaar omgingen.

Wij missen haar heel erg

They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
 

A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill.

If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane.
I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.

Flok was een fantastische hond voor ons.

Ze was een geweldige familiehond die gek was op onze drieling,

heel gehoorzaam en waaks, maar vriendelijk voor iedereen die bij ons in huis kwam.

Ze heeft met ons twee jaar in Nederland,

vijf jaar in Amerika en zes jaar in Frankrijk gewoond.

 Beslis voor mij en wees niet laf
Past eigenliefde bij de Vriendschap die ik gaf
Of uitstel tot het beter past bij een verloren strijd
Ik ben niet bang tijdens de laatste gang
Jij loopt niet weg, jij kijkt mij aan
Je noemt me bij de liefste naam
en houdt mij stevig vast

Vandaag voor het laatst
groet ik je met mijn hondenstaart...
Wat jij liet doen deed jij voor mij
Je hebt me nog meer pijn bespaard,
voor zinloos lijden mij bewaard

Een zwaar besluit.. nee huil nu niet
Een wijs besluit dat werd gegrond
op een oud en uniek verbond
Jij bent mijn baas en ik jouw hond

I will lend to you for awhile, a pup, God said,

For you to love her while she lives and mourn when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back, take care of her for me.

She'll bring her charms to gladden you and should her stay be brief
you'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over, in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd's life's land, I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.
 

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness we'll love her while we may

And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay!
But should you call her back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand

Ruut
 

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have each shown.
But now it is time I traveled alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
It is only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart,
I will not be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home".

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see
The sun will rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
An angel came and called my name And petted me with her hand

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me, I'm right there, in your heart

So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Annery, Arjan, Peter en Ruut

Now I recall your laughing face
A pup with not one social grace
A fuzzy little dog to be
Who came and changed my life for me.

Throughout your life you played the role
of mirror to my troubled soul
When I was sad, you played the clown
And did not let my mood stay down.

When I was wrong, your eyes would say
You loved me fully any way
Now that your work on Earth is done
You’ve a new place to play and run.

Heaven must be for dogs like you
Green hills with sheep to herd anew;
A place to share the memory
Of life and love eternally.

So tend the sheep we knew so well
And wait for me on Heaven’s Fell.

For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head,
fed me my favorite treat and returned the love
that I so unconditionally gave to you.

For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.

I ask that you grieve not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived,
loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend.

Today, I am as I was in my youth.
The grass is always green, butterflies flit among fthe flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump and play and do all of the things that I did in my youth.
There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
 

We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know

that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours.
Companions such as you are very rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever.

For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Ruut

Fly, fly little wing,
fly where only angels sing

about the univers you climb
on beyond the hands of time

pass the planets and the stars
leave this lonely world of ours

the moon will rise the sun will set
I won't forget...

the softest cloud, the whitest dove
upon the wind of heavens love
escape the sorrow and the pain
and fly again...

fly away the time is right
Go now .. and find the light

Don't stand by my grave and weep
For I'm not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awaken in mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
