THE SILHOUETTE
Author: Terri Onorato

The silhouette stands boldly
at the end of the hallway
ears erect, eyes like jewels
the tail, it softly sways.
This wouldn't be the first time
I've seen her stand nearby
her image clear as crystal
from the corner of my eye.
Her visits I don't share with some
who think I've went over and beyond
the grieving time they deem I need,
they say I should move on.
I sometimes pity people who
have never felt just cause
to share the bond between two souls,
one with hands and one with paws.
The silhouette reminds me
what the others say is wrong
for as long as breath goes through me
there exists our mighty bond.
When the Keeper calls me home
and the Bridge gates open wide
our bond will deepen ten fold
as we walk through side by side.
You see, I am the lucky one
as I've been truly blessed
for someday we'll walk together
as eternal silhouettes.

Lady of the morning,
Love shines in your eyes,
Sparkling clear and lonely,
You're my LADY.......

Our Family just had to put to sleep our Westie companion of 14 EXUBERANT and HAPPY years,   "Lady of Chase" known as "Lady" for short.  Our family members wept for 4 days straight.  When we had to put her to sleep ..... we ALL held her before during and after because we feel that she should last see the people who
loved her most and lived with her for her whole life.  Needless to say it wasn't easy for any of us.  We gave her a picture to take along her journey to the Rainbow Bridge fields so she will ALWAYS remember us like we remember her.

"LADY" we will never forget the LOVE you brought into our home and in OUR LIVES for 14 long and happy years and the way you have touched each and every one of our souls.  Soon we will ALL meet together in the fields and together take that walk across that "RAINBOW BRIDGE" and be together........... FOREVER !!!!!

Beasley died 5 months after being diagnosed with lymphoma...

I miss having you roll over for belly rubbins, and having your sweet little
snore in my ear, while I sleep.  You were a friend, when I needed one, and I
enjoyed everyday of your life with me.  You were a joy, and a treasure, and I
miss you dearly.  You'll never be forgotten...
