Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost

[Kater]

Anna and Mark,

I know you are going through such horrible pain and I'm so very sorry. Angus had twelve wonderful years with your family and you will always have those special memories. We are all here for you during this trying time and only wish we could do more.

RIP always, sweet Angus. You are so very missed!

[Edwina's Secretary]

I am so sorry Anna. Angus looked like such a sweet and gentle giant.

Rest in Peace...

Anna & Mark, I'm so sorry to hear about Angus's passing. At least now he's pain free and playing happily at Rainbow Bridge. RIP sweet Angus. You'll never be forgotten. Please take care Anna and Mark. {{{HUGS}}}

[AmberLee]

Frolic well at the bridge, sweet boy. You are missed here.

Rest in Peace.

{{{Anna, holding you and all the family in my thoughts and prayers.}}}

[Angus's Dad]

Thank you all.

Anna, i am so sorry for your great loss. I hope my big boy Dale, can grow up to be the sweet boy that your big boy, Angus was...i thought up a little poem for you...maybe this is what Angus is thinking now:

Worry not, Mama;
for I am doing okay.
I've met some friends,
and played a bunch.
I've laughed along the way.

Try not to be sad;
for I am safe,
healthy and happy too.
The spirit that I had on earth,
was all because of you.

I've brought it here,
with me today,
to share with those,
less fortunate.
I share that love that you gave me,
and touched their lives because of it.

Without you, I may have been,
a sad and lonely boy.
But you gave me the gift of love,
and filled me with such joy!

So I will carry that within my soul,
and each and every day,
I will think of you with love,
and your spirit will guide my way.

One day we will meet again,
in those great big clouds of white.
I will welcome you with open arms,
and we'll run and play 'til night.

But until that day approaches us,
and time passes on,
remember me with happiness,
and know that my spirit lives on!

~Robyn



((((HUGS)))) to you and your family. And lots of happy thoughts and memories of your sweet big boy Angus.

Robyn, that was so very sweet. More tears at work. I need to stop looking in here while I'm working.

Anna and Mark, I'm so sorry to hear about Angus.
He lived a long and happy life with you and he was a very special part of Pet Talk.

[ComedyDevil]

Farewell old friend
You dancing Rottie boy
A daily inspiration
A treasure and a joy
Your life was full and happy
For 13 golden years
The memories of which, for now
Are blurring through our tears

Farewell old friend
We know you understand
Why Anna had to let you go
To the Rottie's ‘promised land’
You're happy now and free from pain
The choice was right to make
And so for you we’re willing to
Endure this cold heartbreak

Farewell old friend
It hurts to say goodbye
But Pet Talk will remember you
A laid back, loving guy
We knew someday you’d leave us
Our time with you seems short
But Angus, you’re forever loved
And always in our thoughts.

[Sudilar]

Oh no, not our dear Angus.......

I can't describe the pain that I feel, Anna. The tears are flowing freely and I can hardly see to type. Even though I have never met Angus in person, through you, I knew him in my heart. Now it feels that a piece of my heart is missing. Words mean nothing right now. I know your pain, the emptiness in your soul, the quiet, the longing to pet him just one more time.......his smiling face.
My heart goes out to Mark, too, and especially Huney and Roxey, for they don't know where their beloved friend had gone. Their bond is broken and you just can't explain to them why. How hard that must be!
Know that I am with you in your pain (as are we all here at PT). Let the sharing of the pain help you to start to recover. Know that Angus had the best life ever. He was blessed and so where you. Our pets are never with us long enough, but we still continue to keep them in our lives. Angus will live on in your heart forever.

Hugs,
Sue, Killian and Shiloh

I have posted on Angus a few days back, but i keep reading what everyone has written and i can't help but cry, he was such a wonderful beautiful boy, i used to look on at Pet Talk before i became a member recently , and i always came back to see more pictures of that adorable fun loving Rottweiler named Angus, i loved him sooo much and i never even met him, all of these poems people have written are so wonderful , Angus is in Doggie Heaven now playing with my lost Princess who passed in 1999.

Here is a poem i found for those suffering in grief over there lost doggies i found it very comforting...


Lend Me A Pup

I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me.
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he 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 him all your love
Nor think the labor 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 him with tenderness we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay
But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve
In memory of him we loved to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another pup, and love him all his life.

I don't even know what to say right now. Angus, you and your sisters were the first PT dogs that I "met" in cyber world. You've always been my favorite. I will miss you sorely. Rest in peace, Angus.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your precious boy. I don't get to spend time pet-talking much, but I felt compelled to write something for you.

It's not quite as eloquent as some of the other poems, but it's from the heart. God Bless your family and Angus.

Hi there Mom & Dad, it's me
Just wanted to let you know
I made it safely to Rainbow Bridge
And I still love you so

Please don't cry and grieve for me
Because it makes me sad
I want to kiss and comfort you
And bring back the smile you had

I am happy and healthy here
I scamper and play and run
I'm helping all the younger pups
And we're having lots of fun

So please don't worry about me now
For I need you to know
You did the best thing for me
You had to let me go

And when you and Dad get here
Call my name and wait
And I'll come running fast and hard
To meet you at the gate

Then we'll never part again
We'll have all the time we need
Cause you see Mom & Dad we'll cross the bridge
And spend eternity
---------------------------------------------------------------

With sympathy and sadness at your loss,
Cora

RIP Angus Boy-You are beautiful.

I am at a loss for words right now. Angus was special to all of us. We will miss him. My prayers are with Anna and Mark and the rest of the family. Rest in Peace, Angus. There will never be another like you.
