Josh was my bestfriend from the day we got him until the end.
He loved running in the fields and chasing tennis balls. But best of all he liked playing sticks, when I say sticks I really mean giant lumps of wood. The bigger the better. I always remember one of his favourite toys at home was a six foot fence post and and wooden mallet head, I am not joking. Also he enjoyed jumping and he even managed to jump four foot. I also remember the trip to the sea side he wasn't to sure to begin with but he he soon learned to love it.
But what also stays with is the night when he lost him. We layed curled up in fron of the telly watching titanic and then we took him for a walk where he liked to play in the local park, he especially loved the slide. Then back at home I went outside to the garage to get something and I didn't shut the side gate properly and Josh followed me out. Then it happen he saw a fox and just ran, ran straight in to the path of the oncoming car. I will always remember the noise of that car hitting him. I ran to him. He had been hit so had the car had lost its bumper and he had thrown in to a lamp post. The car never stopped. He was still alive when I got to him but in shock and had severe injuries. He died on route in my arms to the vets. I will never forgot the look he gave me, the look that said it wasn't your fault and you shouldn't blame yourself but it is my time to go.I have never seen such a distruaght vet and vet nurse. But I would like to thank the other cars that did stop and the people who helped that night.
I will always you love Josh you were my bestfriend and I will never forget you. A part of you lives on in you brother, Blue, our new puppy who we have had for 4 months. But I will never replace you, you were one in a million. Miss you every day. Love you forever xxx
Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

I can't believe it ahs been two years since you were taken from us. It is still as a raw now as it was two years ago. But I do need to thank you for protecting and looking after your brother Blue through a very hard and distressing 2 months. Your silly brother, Blue, went out in to the garden on the 24th October and ran straight in to tree. This caused two veterbrae in his neck to squah to together causing him to be totally paralysed. We thought we would lose him. We rushed him straight to our vets who then immediately refered him to a specialist. But after major spinal surgery and 5 weeks intensive care and rehablition at the vets. He came home, on all fours admitabely looking he had one two many. Now four weeks on he is slowly improving and we have our fingers crossed for a full recovery. So thank you Josh for watching over him and us. I don't think he would have survived if it wasn't for you. Thinking of you always. Miss you lots. Love you lots sam xxx p.s I have added a photo of Blue for you.
A letter from your pet in heaven

To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."
Your love is the sunshine that keeps me warm
To me you are the rainbow after the storm
Your love gave me wings it has set me free
And wherever you are thats where I want to be.

***As Time Goes By***
as time goes by the tears will dry
our memories of you will never die
They say you're in a higher place
peaceful and full of grace
forever young living a life of new
And as we try to understand
we`ll never see you again in a living land
and the family bond is a broken chain
when untill we meet again and the family
bond is once more whole again.
It hurt us the day you had to go
when god put his hand on your
shoulder and wispered your name low,
i see that you can hear me
so he said to you "follow me"
an angel took you by the hand
and walked you to the new land
as you were shown the way
for untill we meet again
we now know in the arms of god you
now for ever more lay
never to grow older in any way
rest in eternal peace and sleep in our
hearts our memories and thoughts
of you we will forever keep
your eyes now closed for rest
for the day you went god took you only to
show to us that heaven only takes the best
for they say
"when a bell rings an angel gets there wings"
when we look up at heaven above we know your
shining down on us with eternal love
as time goes by the tears will dry
