i loved ur poem. I 2 have a daog ICY n I luv him more than ne1 in dis world,so i can perfectly understand how u must be feeling. BUT you should not feel sad n remember the days dat u spend with it. Remember ur dog is watching you n maybe crying because you are sad.

This poem touched my heart deeply.

I have been through this loss before and the author of this poem has captured all of the pain and written it out beautifully.

i i love my little dogs too . really liked this poem .

Its the best poem, sad and carry very deep meaning for the lost. It makes me cry every time I read it.

Hi Barren, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your pet. Though people doen't realize a pet is like family and a MEMBER of it! I had 2 cats named Tabby and Charley they will be 10 in June. I always made them a small cake. I reciently hada stroke in Jan. of 2006. I am still struggling to walk, but at least I can because of a AWESOME physical thrrapist! So I am greatful in a lot of ways, but then my family member got rid of my cats who I called them my "KIDS". I don't think I can ever forgive this . I HURT I'm in PAIN without my loved ones those like you use to look for me out the window, and gave me much enjoyment. I pray for all animals everyday where ever they may be. Jan

I love your poem but i'm sry u lost a loved one i know how u feel. I lost plenty of loved ones. You have written a good poem and i hope many more to come.

This is a very sad poem but i can relate my pet just died about a year ago and i still cant forget about her and how much she ment to me i can still feel her soft fur rubing against my face! I LOVED THE POEM!

I like your poem real well.

My beloved pet passed away today. His name was marius, and he was a 4 1/2 year old rat. He was the best pet anyone could ask for, he came with me everywhere and would even sit on the couch and watch telly with me and then go to sleep on my lap. Your poem really touched me, i cried when i read it. i'm so sorry for your loss.

i was about to comite suicide 2weeks ago and your poem has made me rethink those yery good and warm times that pas me by that mabey my world would cry if im gone and comitted suicide i thank u much for your poems side to make me rethink those little normal times now i wont forget to turn back the time. thank you!

this poem touched me cause i lost a dog and he was my best friend.

I'm not really a person who reads a lot of poems, but this one almost made me cry. A few days ago, when I went horse-riding, a friend told me one of the horses died. She was called Flame, and I liked her very much. Reading this poem, I couldn't help but think about her, I'll miss her a lot.

This poem really got to me. I loved my dog more than I loved anyone else and she died a while ago. I have not gotten over it nor will I ever but to know someone feels the same way is comforting.

Even though I have not lost a pet, I have a small dog who is treated like my child. I do understand the loss.

that was a raly good poem it was sweet and relaxing i lost a few love ones to and i no how you feel

this was a very heart aching poem you put alot of soul into it and i loved it!

This is my most favorite poem!

I love this poem becaus it reminds me of my lost pet, Drifter. He was like a child to me. He died last year. I hope you will write more poems like this one.

i lost my best freind a year ago. he was a cat. his name was whiskey and he was my little brother. i was there the minute he was born, but i never got to say good bye. it breaks my heart to think i promised him that day i would see him after scchool not knowing i would never see him again. he was barely 2 years old. he died because stupid people dont know how to cleean up anti freeze. he was my best freind. i still cry hard. thank you for sharing this poem Katy, 15, canada

this poem really touched me because i could picture everything. i can relate to it too because i have a german shepard and i too feel that she is more human then most of the people i know. thank you for sharing this poem with us.

Im 13 yrs. old and i jus lost 2 dogs one of the age thirteen dat i got wen i wuz 1 and the other was only 6 months i got him(corky) rite after Louiebell)died they were both daschounds. and dats funny cuz rite now my family and me are lookin for eitha a english bull dog or a german shepard. neways ur poem made me cry. i really loved it!

This poem was amazing i feel for you and as i read it i cried.

hello i am 13 years old and when i saw this poem it reminded me of my loss for my very own dog max. max to me was like my brother and we grew up together until that one day were he left me to defend my self. and now i relise he isnt going to come back but he will always be in my heart.

This poem really touched me coz I too lost my Dear Beloved Pet on 08-09-2006 at 04:07 p. m, which was only 2 yrs old. Every word in this poem is the exact way I feel. My Pet was more of a human to me. I considered that I didnt need anyone in the World for my Pet was all to me. But now im left all alone with just memories of that Little one. This poem is an real experience. Hats off to you Dear Poet. I would welcome poems of this sort in future. Regards Susan Mcpherson

I too have recently lost a 14 year old pet and have been devistated over her loss. Thanks for your lovely poem so well written. It does not cure all but it helps to know my feelings are normal and I'm not alone. GOD bless everyone especially our lost children that are in heaven playing together.

Moved me to tears. Everyone who loved and lost a dear pet can feel this poem in their hearts.

if i had to mark that out of 10 i would give u 20. cause that were excellent it really touched me. im workin on poems but i dont think i could ever think of something that good. if that were from a life experience im sorry xxx

I loved this poem because I had a pet die not even a year ago. and all the words in this poem reminded me of my emotions for my dog, it made me cry, but not tears of hollowed sadness. true treas of rememberance.

that was sweet but sad saying how you felt.

Your poem was really really nice I know just how you feel I lost my loving cat named Dallas and losing him tore my world in two thanks for letting me know I wasnt the only one felling or having this happen to me.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your doing well.

I really know where you are coming from because I too have lost a best friend. He's my puppy snooper, oh how I love him I really do miss him.

This poem was very touching the author wrote a great poem. I loved it.

Anyone who has lost a beloved pet can certainly relate to this poem--the pets are more like our children, and we grieve for them for a long time after they leave us---I do believe I'll meet them again at The Rainbow Bridge though! Emilie

This Poem is excellent, I have been searching all night for a poem that would make me cry; which mind you isnt an easy task for me, but this poem it made me cry, twice in fact when i read it over again. It reminded me of my old bird who died, he had a fit, due to stress from hitting a rotating fan, we really loved him, it has been about 1 and a half years since his death.

I lost my cat on January 21st. It was 4:30 a. m. and he was sleeping in my bed and he had a heart attack. I cry for 3 days and just can not let Tiger go. When I read this poem I cried. And think of Tiger. You poem has touched me like no humane can. Thank you!

Hey I just wanted you to know that the poem had brought back memories of my own! I also had a german shepard named misty! She also died! She had bone cancer so we had to put her down! Through my eyes, she wasn't a dog but a close friend who would always be there for me! When I lost her, I cried for days and couldn't get over the fact that i lost her! But i am VERy sorry for your loss! And i hope all goes well with you in the future!

Wow! This poem really touched my heart. I cried really hard. See, I have a 13 yr. old Maltese. He is my world, my happiness. He has congestive heart failure and is on medication. Its only a matter of time. I can't imagine my life without him. When I cry, he knows, so I try and not cry in front of him. I love him so. Thank you for this poem.

This poem could have come right out of my heart. Nine months ago I lost my sixteen year old Chihuahua,Booboo and time has not taken the pain away. I still miss him as much as I did the day he died. I visit his grave and talk to him. Tomorrow I will tell him about your beautiful poem.

this poem is the best i have ever heard in my life. my hands are tembeling because i have been baling my eyes out, i am only twelve but i lost a pett . she was not only a pet we did everything together, we slept together, danced, attempted to sing. here i go again. i tried to hold it in and this made it come out. i love this poem i miss lexi so much! i need her i always try to thinnk what i did wrong to make her leave. so yeah i love this poem.

i believe this is a 100% fully touchable poem. it deserves a 10 out of 10. i have. had. a pet cat named Shadow. that died almost a year and a half ago. this poem touched my heart more than words can say. it's really a good poem!

Mortality is a thing that people fear and worry about, and most forget to stop and do the thing that is before that. When you lose a loved one it makes you realize that you must try to love and touch someone else as they touched you.

this is exactly what i've been trying to say for 2 years now. it discribes the feelings i've never been able to write down perfectle. really nice!

when i read this i started to cry for you see i too have a pet a dog mia she is my world and if i ever less her i will go insane

What a beautiful poem. Thankyou so much for expressing in words the relationship we share with our "children" "our precious little ones". The words of this poem i will cherish forever the sun shone in the dark place in my heart for just a moment and i thankyou

wow this is such an amazing poem! it truly touched me and mad me cry ,ive lost animals too particularly a cat named harley who i loved soo much! ,its so hard to deal with and i admire your courage for writing such an amazing poem

I just lost my Katie after 15 1/2 years of love and devotion; my constant companion; my light in the dark days of past hurts. Oh, how my heart aches, how my gut wrenches with loneliness. Thank you for such a lovely poem and letting me knokw that I am not alone.

this poem realy touched me cuz i lost the most preasious thing in the world to me not just my pet,but my friend. she ment allot to me but i forgot that she was very old and that every morning she woke was a gift not a givin'.

Your poem touched my heart in two different ways. I lost my black lab (Faith) a year ago on Aug. 14. I miss her and love her so much and I know that she is taking care of us because she always did. I think about her all of the time. Oh, what I would give if I could just kiss her nose, give her a hug, play frisbee with her or just see her. Between 8-30-05 and 9-14-05 I had my 3 grandbabies (miniature schnauzers) in the hospital with pancreatitis. I call them my grandbabies because I have their mom and dad, but they are all mama's babies. The Dr did not think that LB-Little Boy was going to make it, but he slowly pulled threw. Lexi, mama's baby girl and Frosty, mama's little angel did not appear to be as sick as LB, but they were put in the hospital because they were still very sick. All of my babies turned 9 months old on Sept. 3 and all of them were in the hospital. My little baby girl, Lexi, passed away on September 6, 2005 at the age of 9 months and 3 days. That was a Tuesday morning that I never wanted to come. The following Tuesday was my 31st birthday. I know that God called her home, but that doesn't make the pain any easier. She had surgery when she was 3 months old on her heart to correct a PDA and a heart murmur. It corrected the PDA and helped the heart murmur, but it did not completely go away. I have to tell myself that he took her from us so she would not have to go through congestive heart failure later in life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you that have lost a loved one. Please include me in yours because I need all the prayers and all of Lexi's love that I can get. Sorry this is so long, but they are my babies and I miss them so much.

I recently put my dog to sleep because she developed cancer thruout her lungs and organs. Your poem and feelings for your dog brought me to tears about how I treasure my feelings about my dog. Her nam was Bagels and she was wxactly 10 yrs old. She had so many friends because she actually voiced her throat sounds to everyone she met. She always made everyone smile. They all knew her in PETSMART. thank you for the beautiful poem.

this poem touched me. almost 2 years ago, i lost my dog to cancer & i really thought the world was ending. for some time, i had no idea what i would've done with my dog, she was like my best friend. and she was really young too, had at least 7 more years of living. well, keep up the good work! RIP Blossom. I love you.

To share that strong of a love for an animal means a lot. that love will never end!

wow i really was touched by your poem i almost felt like i wanted to cry you are a very wonderful poet that was very good

I love poems, especially this one. My family and I recently got a puppy about 4 months ago,when we got him I just fell in love with him. I've had anilmals before but I was younger and they didn't mean as much to me, I cant imagine loosing my baby "rocky". Thank you for writing your poem to help me realize that.

Heya Kit. That poem made me cry. I am 15 years old and have mad my dog for 3 years now. i have lost a dog too and i too held him in my arms until his very last beat. i know he will always be with me, like yours will be with you. sometimes i still hear him walking behind me. so thank you

This story was incredible i have never heard anything like it- remember even if averybodys says this take it from me your special friend is in a better place now and i'm sure he thanks you for giving him a wonderful time on earth.

i know how you feel about losing a pet. i lost my dog Harley back in December. i had a hard time getting threw the loss of my best friend. i always thought i wonder what it would be like with out him here, then on day i found out and it was sad i am truly lost with out him. it was hard for the first few months but then i finally relized that life moves on and eventually you are going to have to move with it. so my advice would to be to take way to many pictures. i have like 4 pics of Harley and they stay with me where ever i go. i eventually got a new dog named Jack and he is my best friend now. so you will be able to find a new best friend but not as good as the old one.

Our pets are truly our most wonderful children. Never do they give us grief except when they pass. This poem is so very beautiful. Again you made me cry.

this poem moved me to tears. as i have an 11yr. old boxer"runt" who has been my best friend, faithful companion, always watching out for his family. as he grows grayer each day he still plays like a puppy. but time is cruel and mean, he now has lost his hearing, and sleeps too much. i tell my friends and family someday his little face and those pointed ears in the shadow of my front window will no longer be there to see me come and see me go. that will be the saddest part and this too will break all of our hearts. i always tell him baby you have to live forever!

WE LOSSED ALOT OF FAMILY PETS AND ALSO MY COUSIN HAD TO PUT DOWN HER ROTWEILER DOG TODAY THAT WE ALL WERE VERY ATTACHED TO SO THIS POEM HELPS US TO GREIVE AND HEAL AND IS ALSO USED TO CURE SAD CRIES FROM DEPRESSION AND THROUGH BAD AND TRAGIC TIMES AND TO HELP US TO LOOK FOWARD TO HAPPY AND BETTER TIMES IN THE FUTURE TOO.

I LOSSED ALOT OF PETS AND STILL MISS AND CRY OVER THEM I WANT TO GET ANOTHER DOG BUT MY DAD SAYS NO SO WE WACTH MY SISTER AND HER HUSBANDS DOGS WHICH HELPS A LITTLE UNTIL WE HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE AGAIN THAN THE FEEILINGS RESURFACE AGAIN SO I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AND THIS POEM SAYS IT ALL GOOD JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FROM ALL THE CUDDLY ANGELPETS IN HEAVEN.

This poem reminds me of my cat, Sanosuke. April, 26, 2002-January,6,2005.

Sorry of what happened to your pet, I have also a pet, I love him so much that I can give him all I have just to make him satisfied to me, I love my dog,so I take care of him so so much, Your poem make me cry so much! Youre a good poet! Really I like also your poem Seek not my heart!

This is a very great poem because i lost my dog and i was always so happy to come home to him and now walks around the yard don't have any charm

your poem means a lot, my grandma lost a dog a couple of years ago and she felt how you felt with him. she thought of him as a human too. and she was heart broken when he died your poem is beautiful

unbelievable, great piece of poetry

i loved this poem. it actually made me cry. it reminds me of my little doggie. shes the only reason i am happy everyday. if something wre to happen to her,. i wouldnt love life the way i do.

This poem is what iv'e been feeling like for three years. I had a window, and everyday he was there waiting for me when i would come home. After three years it is still hard to imagine he's not there waiting. The only comfort and still tears, I still feel in some way he is there watching for me. I couldn't have said it better. I have two new cats, and lost another just after he died. Took the leap and adopted another, but she died just before her four month birthday, was devastated. Now I have two, love them with all my heart, but still miss my last two dearly. This poem said it all for me

I thought that your poem was lovely. My rabbit, who I have had for 7 years just passed away today. we had to put him down this morning and I have been crying all day. he was like a human to me and I saw him as my own brother. I'm glad that someone else knows what it feels like.

My pet died a year ago and I think I know how you feel.

That's such a beautiful poem. pets are missed just as much as people in death. They play an important role. Loved the poem; it brought teras to my eyes. Your dog sounds so special. I hope in time, the pain gets easer to deal with xxxx

Your poem was lovely. it really touched me and made me cry remembering my little dog :(

Hi i am so sorry about ur pet what kind was it? Im so sorry!

thanks you've really made my day even though you don't realise.

I just lost my dog of ten years a week ago. He had a cancerous tumor in his throat and I had no choice but to end his pain. I have cried everyday. Shadow was my best friend. Your poem really touched me. It helped me feel a little better knowing that others loved their pet as much as I loved mine. Thanks

This poem was by far one of the most touching poems I've read. I almost cried thinking about my cat that passed away a short time ago. After $600 worth of vet bills he was gone, but will forever live on in my heart. The weird thing is that if I could do it again I would in a second because he brought me so much happiness and joy, even if I had to pay another $600 I would do it if I could have only one more day with him. This was a very touching poem, good luck to you. Age 16

I had a rabbit who died , so I was choking up.

GOD CREATED ANIMALS TO BE A BLESSING TO US. THE LOVE OF A PET IS UNCONDITIONAL AND IS ONLY EXPERIANCED BY POURING YOUR LOVE UPON THEM. AS I HAVE EXPERIANCED THE SAME. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO LET GO BECAUSE THEY'LL NEVER BE ONE THE SAME. IT WAS HARD NOT TO BEABLE TO TOUCH AND FEEL THIER PRESENTANCE. I LOVE YOUR POEM AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP WRITING BECAUSE THE BEST POEMS COME FROM THE HEART

This poem really touched me. My parents and I had a shitzu for 17 years. We had to put him down. It was the hardest decision one could make. We all got to hold him and tell our good bye's and how much we love him and are going to miss him. His breathing was so fast. Brendal(that's his name)was a daddy's boy. They were always together. When my dad held Brendal for the last time his breathing got so peaceful. I can't explain all the emotions my family and I were having. I'm sorry for the loss of your pet. I really loved this poem. It really touched my heart. Thank you! God Bless You!

thank you for writing this i truly know how you feel , I lost my best friend my beloved cat last year , by being hit by a car. It was as though my whole world fell apart and has never been the same , she was everything that poem was , it brought tears to my eyes remembering all the memories we had ,thanks I now know I'm not alone . their should be more people who have a love for animals. thanks

I can relate so much to this poem. I just had my cat of 6 years put to sleep yesterday. It was probably the hardest thing for me. I know in a year it will still hurt because my cat was my life, but your poem really touched me.

your poem explains your emotions so well, its hard to loose the ones you love, i know i lost my pet cat a 2 years back, and the following year i lost my dad. No one can get over death, but we can only deal with it over time, never be afraid to cry!

this really made me cry and remember two dogs that left me so long ago. Thank its a beautiful poem.

This is a heart warming poem. Very sad but also inspiring.

You definitely know how to make words sound beautiful! I burst out into tears while i was reading your poem because i feel lots and lots of sympathy for you. I wrote a poem about my beloved dog on a poem site and all i got back was a whole load of critisism from people saying i must be a low life to write about my dog but he means so much to me! Your a great writer! :)

This poem really touched me. I lost my dog of 10 years yesterday. He is the only pet I or my family has ever had. He holds all of my childhood memories. I am completely grieve stricken without him.

I competely understand the feelings in this poem. I miss my pet something awful, this is such a good poem.

this poem almost made me cry it was so beautiful. i know how it feels to lose someone or something so special to you as that happened to me just a year ago too. it often brings tears to my eyes just remembering the moments my dog and i once shared so i understand and this poem opens everything you have and just makes all those emotions stur. its just wonderful and very touching.

This poem is of such intense and haunting yet fragile beauty, it brought tears to my eyes, because I recognize myself so well in it. I too have no childeren (though willingly) and lost my beloved cat now three years ago, he was almost 13 when he caught a very aggressive form of bone cancer. When the vet told me that, it was like the earth was swept from beneath my feet. I had to move out because I could not bear the memories. I still miss him dreadfully every day.

I to have lost my best friend his name was Onyx he was part of my life for seven years. The pain is so deep that at times i feel like i can not breath. I miss him more than words can say. I miss our daily walks and how he would run around after me. For those who say he was just a dog i say he was like my child.

I loved this poem - especially because I can feel a great part of the pain that Kit has gone/is going through. I lost a pet eight months ago and I still find myself aching . . . but I know he is in a better place.

i had a dog die too. i loed her soooo bad. The sad part was that when i went looking for her. my mother burst into tears and told she had died. she had been dead for almost three days. i don't knwo how i didn't know! So i just wanted you to know. i feel your pain.

I just had to put my beloved Ashley to sleep 3/18/02 at the age of 15 yrs. She was my 1st Lhasa & the most loving, devoted companion I ever had. I was with her until the end and my heart is breaking. I will miss her and love her forever.

How I understand your feelings, I lost my dog almost 2 years now but she lives in my heart. Despite having 5 others, I am still grieving, no words are deep enough to tell what she brought into my life. Your poem is true and lovely, it comes direct from the heart

i feel your pain cause me dog died on 2/15/02 that dog was like a brother to me i miss him dearly i wish he was still here with me so i could hold him in my arms just one last time and when i read your poem i just bust into tears

I have to say that this is an amazing poem. Having 3 dogs in my home and one which is my own since i was 12 has been my beautiful shadow ever since i got her. the affection and company animals are is amazing and to loose my very own would break my heart. your poem is amazing and touched me. it sounds like your dog must have had a great life and she was very lucky to have you.

I love your poem so much. It is so beautiful and it made me cry. I lost my puppy 6 months ago and I still cry myself to sleep every night. She wasn't even one year old yet. She got run over on the highway near our house and I was the one that found her. I have never been able to express my feelings into words but your poem did just that. It is so good to see that pets are missed just as much as humans

This was soooo hard for me to read, my dog Bennie died last year from cancer at only 3yrs. old. Heartbroken is the only way to describe how i felt (and still do). I held her the minute she was born, and i held her as she died. I will love her for ever.

i loved your poem i printed it out and taped it to my wall. I have a toy poodle and she is the greatest dog in the world. i'd die if i ever lost her.

That was a beautiful poem. I just lost my beloved dog Gabriel, yesterday.he was my bestfriend and I feel so numb and incomplete without him.I wish I could hold him one last time.

Kit. I loved your poem. It made me cry. We lost our dog after 12 years. She was killed by another dog. It takes a long time to get over. It has been about 4 years and It still hurts. It was a very touching poem.

i lost my pet cat when i was ten. my parents had gotten it a few months before I was born.so it was around for my whole life and then when she died it broke my heart. your poem made me cry.

it was a very sad and moving poem. but i still like

I really liked your poem. When i read your poem it made me think of my cat that i lost and loved very dearly.

I just lost my little dog T-Bone, and everything you said in the poem is how I feel in my heart for my pet.

What a good poem. The use of word is so good. What an awsome poem.

I share your feelings. Made me cry.

Dear Kit, I'm sorry about your pet. I have just today felt the same feeling. My only dog died tonight in my arms as i held him tight. He was sick with a "cold" the vets said but when we came home one day and wouldnt walk i knew something was up. anyway i wrote to say i love your poem "barren". I am an only child with an only dog and yeah have a good life
