My dog passed away last week, he was 13 yrs old and a very special part of my life and ofcourse my heart is broken that he is gone....and I've been looking for poems about losing a pet,in this case a dog...I want to find a poem as closely related to him as possible,because I want to put it in a frame with his picture on it for myself and my mom.
I found several but none really that fits 'Turbo'.....and I tried writing one myself but couldn't bring the words together,like I usually can...I usually end up crying so hard I cant think anyways...*sigh*...so if anyone has any,will you please put it here or if you would rather email it to me, I can also give my email address.

I know some might think that its silly but, my pets arent just animals to me, they are my family :)

Thanks everyone :)

My sweet friend Makensie. I had no idea this thread was about losing your furry son. I assumed it was only about sharing poems about animals. I was shocked & my heart sank as I read it. It broke my heart for you, and as I remembered back when texan & I lost our furry little princess, whom we had to put to sleep because her tail got infected and was fixing to rot off, & gang-green was in her blood. her loss was more than words can explain & still makes me cry each time I see a maltese or photos of one. She was so sweet & perfect little lady. In fact, she's Zech's mom, who is our furry son's Wife and son. Though I'll never see her again in this life, I hold on to the hope in seeing her again in her in Heaven. I know to some this sounds stupid or far out but it brings comfort to my heart. Anyway, God knows what's important to us in this life, so why not allow it in our life up there? MB, I would love to try and write a poem, but when you feel up to it, would you share some things about him, his likes/dislikes, what he looked like, how he acted, and so on so I can describe him as he was in my poem? Hopefully someone will write one that fits him perfectly and brings comfort to your heart all the rest of the days of your life. If you need to talk, contact me whenever and I'll give you my email address. God bless you my friend and please know that you'll be in my prayers, as well as texans.

This brought tears to my eyes, and I feel will bring comfort to your heart. It's called,

"RAINBOW BRIDGE"
________________
Just inside 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 where our friends are always warm and comfortable.

All the animals who have 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 eaver body begins to quiver. 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 once 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, you know you'll never be separated again.

Dear Makensie, When I came home DaRu told me about your little friend,and I am so sorry. I cried when she told me all about it. I have had animals all of my life,every kind of dog you can imagine.But the two that we have now have touched my heart like no other.I was always close to them all,and was devasted when I lost them thru the years.But I can't even imagine just what will happen when the time comes that we must part with our little boy's.So I truly understand how you feel.But Makensie I believe that when we get to heaven we are going to be reunited with these little angel's,so rest in the hope that we have in knowing this.I know that it doesn't take away the sting and the hurt that is tugging at your heart right now.Turbo can never be replaced nor would you even want to even try, but let the wonderful memorie's fill your mind and alway's hold them dear to your heart.If Turbo could, he would probably lick your tears and worry over you,so hold your head up and know that he is not in pain or distress anymore.I will be praying for you that God will ease the pain and sorrow that you are going thru right now. May the Lord bless you.

Wow! *wiping away my tears* thank you all so much for your caring messages! I do believe that one day we will meet again, and I will be able to play and romp with him, as I always did. He was such a special guy!

To tell more about him, he was half german shepard/husky...and a beautiful golden color. I was at my friends house one night,when I was in my early twenties,and this kid brought this raggedy looking pup inside and asked if anyone wanted him. My friends were going to take him,but I knew how they treated their own dog,which wasnt all that great so I said "Let me take him home and see what my parents think" I figured if I brought him home,instead of mentioning him to them,I would have a better chance of keeping him hehe I totally adore animals and so does my mom,so I knew I could talk her into it..it was my Dad,I'd have to work on heehee.....Anyways,I named him b4 I even put him in my car..and I have no idea why I came up with the name Turbo...he just looked like a Turbo. I took him home, and he walked in my house,with his tails between his legs....he looked like a oppossum actually lol...and like a dog who had been mean to or something.
My parents looked at me like "what did u do?" My mom took to him instantly...and we took him in the bathroom,and the fleas were soooo bad on him, they were drawing blood. We got as many as we could off and my Dad said "Well I guess we have another dog huh?" My mom and I both go "Yup" haha My Dad shakes his head and walked off.

The next day we took him to the vets, and bathed him really good and had him groomed...and he was just gorgeous. He soon got adapted quite well...and just blossomed into this proud,beautiful boy! We would take him for walks, and would just trot right down the street with his tail standing straight up,curled a bit on his back....just like he was saying "hey look at me, I'm pretty" and he was!
He was an inside dog...and was very intelligent. I would say ....

"Gimme kiss Turbo" and he would give me a kiss..and I would keep saying it just to agitate him..but he would give me as many as I asked for but not without grumbling. It was so cute! He had a toy foot,that was his favorite, and we would keep it in a drawer..and we would ask him where his foot was..he would take his nose and tap the drawer. He would listen to our commands with just movements of our hand...we would tell him to "come here" with just a motion of our finger and he would.
The special Turbo and I time was when he would cruise with me in my Camaro (at the time)..he would sit in front seat and would lean over on the console toward me,like he was "my man"....when I was cruising uptown and someone I know would stop to talk to me..Turbo was standing right up,his front paws on my leg,like he was guarding me. He was the best watch dog....he would only bark when people were close to our house and if they were too close, he would growl. Other than that, he was quiet.
I probably seem all over the place but I'm just trying to get out all the special things about him,and there is more but too many to list :)
He had his set bedtime when he was inside...my mom and I were nightowls,and he would stay up no later than 11:30pm and he would go to bed..which was the guest bedroom. hahaha He even slept ON the bed,with his head on the pillow. If we'd stay up real late..Turbo would get up,come in and look at us ,as if to say "You guys are still up?" and would wait until we'd go to bed. My mom would go to her room, I would go in mine..and he would wait until I shut my door,then he would go to bed.

Then..later on...my mom went to the pet store in the mall,just to look at the animals and saw this lil fuzzy pup, an Alaskan Malamute. She fell in love with him....so she bought him. My dad was ready to go nuts..he said "If u guys get one more animal,I'm moving out " hahaha BUT he loved them,he just wont admit it.
So home came "Laskey".....Turbo, who just got 'fixed'....was

definitely in no mood for a pup....but he was never mean to him...he just walked off and ignored him.
Ofcourse,having Laskey,meant Turbo had to go outside...so....Turbo became an outside dog. Definitely didnt live a dogs life tho...they have a big shed made just for them,with an ac for them in summer..and a heater for them in winter. The whole back yard,is concrete because my parents have an inground pool...so,they didnt have to worry about ever having fleas.
I moved out last year....and I didnt take Turbo with me because him and laskey were totally attached. Especially Laskey to Turbo. When Turbo would go to the groomers...laskey would stand by the back door and cry...so we had to let the big lug in. He is 140 lbs.
So I feel really guilty that I didnt spend as much time with Turbo...I would be home once a week and sometimes not that. Turbo got sugar diabetes...and the first time my dad was showing me how to give him a shot,since they were going to be gone for the weekend, I started crying because I had to do that to him. I felt so bad for him....I knew he wasnt in good health.
The last day I saw him,which was last Monday..he was in really bad shape. He woldnt move...barely eat...and I would splash the water in the pool trying to get him to react,and he just looked at me. Before,when I was in the pool, he would go nuts,like he was worried about me. It broke my heart to see him looking at me...and even more when I walked to him,and he just looked me right in the eyes,in a sad way. I sat beside him and loved on him, and he could barely hold his head up. He wouldnt even give me kisses anymore,when I asked for them...but I made sure to give him extra kisses on his nose. I'm glad I did...because when I left to go back home, that was the last time I saw him. My dad and brother took him to the vest the next evening because his breathing wasnt good...and the vets were going to put fluids back in him, etc....as I was talking to my mom, the vets called my parents,

and said Turbo died. My mom, who is on the phone with me, goes what??? ...Just couldnt believe it...noone was expecting that. My mom wanted an autopsy done...to know why he died so quick, and he had kidney and bladder cancer.
It is so hard to walk in my mom and dads back yard..and not see him there..or to have him come up and give me kisses. I feel guilty because I dont want him to think that I left hiim or that I ever forgot him. I hope he knew how much I loved him.
My mom is worried Laskey will die of a broken heart...he is 11 yrs old...and he just sits and looks at the gate, as if he is waiting for Turbo to return. He barely eats...so he is in his own mourning. Its a terrible loss...and he will never be forgotten. I always called him "My Main Man"....and he always will be :)
Sorry to have rambled on....just wanted to tell a lil about him...and that wasnt everything but its still something :)
I know he is happy now, and at peace..and romping with all the other furry animals,waiting for his masters time to arrive :) He made my life so happy! Now I go out where laskey is,and sit by him and love on him,and talk to him about his "brother"....I know he misses him too...you can see it in his eyes!
Ok....Im zipping it :)

Oh...and on their shed...My brother, who is a beautiful artist,is going to paint "Turbo" on one side of the shed door, and "Laskey" on the other door. It should look awesome when he is done! He isnt going to paint pictures of them..I meant he is going to paint the name Turbo and the name laskey in fancy letters. :)..and when I get a poem that suits Turbo...Im going to frame it with a picture of him underneath.

I am so sorry Makensie to hear about your loss. Losing a pet is so hard. It sounds like you have a lot of good memories of him. The idea of a poem and a picture is a good one I don't have any ideas or I would help.
