To our dearest Angel Perry,

*

Happy16th year old birthday. May our sweet little Angel Perry have a very Happy Birthday in heaven. Your family wish all the angels in heaven give you a big birthday pawty and celebrate the birthday with you in heaven and earth. Wish we can see you on your birthday.

With all the hugs and kisses that we wanted to give to you so much

Your family

Mani a doggie angel

Mani had joined Perry in heaven on Friday October 2, 2009. We met this sweat loving big kido at Perry birthday pawty. He LOVED to have fun, and was very gentle to pawty animals. Knowing him left his family behind was painful as his dearest mom, Cheri, LOVED him with her whole heart.
*
His cancer condition and progression reminded us what our family had gone through. It hurt so much when we're helplessly witnessed our dearest friend Cheri and her beloved son Mani went through the same ordeal each day until the end of his journey on earth.
*
On the positive side, we are grateful that we know there are friends to share and understand the pain of losing a beloved furry kid, like Mango's mommy. We're looking forward to meet more pet owners to share the joy of having senior pooches, the painful journey of going through illness of sick furry kids, and the joy of talking the wonderful times we had with our pets when they were alive together.

A "Mani" GOOD-BYE

Author-Holly W. Gray

*
I sit and try to write the words, I want your heart to hear.

Hoping to find some comfort, in the fact that your not here.

I look out into the open field, that you once occupied,

Knowing now that field is empty, because my love, you've died.

I do believe with all my heart, that your soul has gone to be,

With all the other angel dogs, that you were meant to see.

We will have to stay behind, until God calls us too,

So do not be afraid, that he's only called for you.

The water is still, in the pond that you played,

And your bed is so empty, where your pretty head laid.

Our bed is to empty, where you once laid between,

the two people who LOVED you and now only dream,

That one day our eyes will shut one last time,

and you will come greet us, angel of mine.

Until then, I'll keep trying to see through my tears,

with memories you left us, to reflect through the years.

We'll never forget one minute we spent,

of loving and laughing, of places we went.

And I dread the day that your scent disappears,

for it's "proof" to me, Mani, that you were just here!

But one day will come, when we'll start to see through,

the pain of the moment, and remember just "you".

Now you go and play, and look down when you can,

remembering we love you, and this isn't the end.

A Little Dog Angel by Noah M. Holland

High up in the courts of heaven today

a little dog angel waits;

with the other angels he will not play,

but he sits alone at the gates.

"For I know my master will come" says he,

"and when he comes he will call for me."

*

The other angels pass him by

As they hurry toward the throne,

And he watches them with a wistful eye

as he sits at the gates alone.

"But I know if I just wait patiently

that someday my master will call for me."

*

And his master, down on earth below,

as he sits in his easy chair,

forgets sometimes, and whispers low

to the dog who is not there.

And the little dog angel cocks his ears

and dreams that his master's voice he hears.

*

And when at last his master waits

outside in the dark and cold,

for the hand of death to open the door,

that leads to those courts of gold,

he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,

a little dog angel's bark.

Goodbye Hashbrown

Hashbrown 11/9/99 to 8/1/09

***

Perry's furry friend, Hashbrown, had earned his wings to heaven on 8/1/09. He was 10 years old. The evil, bladder cancer, could no longer hurt the dear boy.

***

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

*

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

*

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

*

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

*

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

*

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Perry - Our Love

It has been a year, our beloved Perry passed away at home. There hasn't been a day we do not miss him; we continue to greet him every morning with a smile and kiss on his picture by our bedside. We imagine Perry is roaming the floor and playing in heaven. Yet, we miss his presence and wish we could hold him once again.

Perry was our first furry kid. A perfect little boy who made us love furry kids and especially black & white Shih Tzu. During the past year, there were many wonderful people who told us they also went through the same thing and share our grieve and sorrow.

Many thanks to all furry kids and their parents.

Specially thanks to everyone at Texas A & M Small Animal Hospital, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Sunset Blvd Animal Clinic.

Happy New Year 2009

Happy New Year

to

all small and big furry friends and their family.

Warm Regards.

From: Perry & His Family
