Pepe is a Yorkshire terrier, to many people he was just a dog and in many ways he was. To me he was
a personality, my baby and my best friend. We went everywhere together we would go for walks and
would walk for miles. He loved walking down by the canal, we would walk miles from our home.
Pepe loved people he was so friendly and would make friends with everyone and anyone. Children he
loved most, because any sweets or anything they had to eat was easy to get. Pepe loved to have a cup
of tea and when he wanted tea he would bark and demand to have a cup of tea in his case though he
had his very own dish that only had tea in. Sometimes he would even bring his dish in and throw it
at your feet demanding tea.
Pepe loved to be cuddled he was always sitting on my knees or next to me. Most of the time you
wouldn't that he was there.
His favourite food was food full stop but what he enjoyed most was chicken, every Sunday we'd have a
roast dinner and Pepe would have some of the meat as a treat but chicken he would do anything for
chicken.
I remember the first Christmas that we had Pepe my sister was sat next to her fire place she was
drinking tearmaria, she would take a sip put it down on the harth. Go back to it and the drink was
gone. this happened several times, we found out who was drinking it, Pepe was quite drunk I had to
take him home to let him sleep it off. He never touched it again. Must have had a very bad head the
next day.
He was a funny little dog, wouldn't go anywhere with anyone else. My nephew Adam would try to take
him for a walk at the corner of our street is a large oak tree. Pepe would go as far as there and
dig his heels in and no matter what Adam couldn't buge him. He would have to carry him home. Anyone
else though couldn't even get him out of the house. He was very loyal and was and still is loved
very much.

Pepe

I miss you more than you or anyone will ever know.
I wish that you were right here with me.
People talk about earth angels and Pepe you were and are an angel who had been sent to me when I was in need of a special friend.
You truly were a gift from heaven.
The love and joy you brought me is beyond measure.
I love you Pepe with all my heart and it gives me comfort to know that the whole pack is together again, you Ben Jinks and knukkles are together at last.
Love you all so very much

PEPE

They're Only Ours for a Little While
by Nancy Hanson (Dedicated to the memory of Duke and Sam)
We humans are prone to chase rainbows,
always wanting that pot of gold.
But the wisest of us remember the joy
of just a small creature to hold.
Allow yourself to accept their great gift,
and know what devotion is worth.
If you've been loved by a dog or cat,
you're the richest person on earth.
But their lives are lived in miniature-
bright sun to palest moon.
They bless our days with innocence,
and faithfulness that's stilled too soon.
These precious lives are fragile,
as fleeting as a baby's smile.
So give them all the love you have.
They're only ours for a little while.
And in the lonely moments
when you pause to wonder why,
hold close those brightest shooting stars
that burn so briefly in our sky.
But then look deeper in your heart
to know all love must intertwine,
and when the night sky seems the darkest,
you'll see their light forever shine.

Just this side 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 they are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had 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 gone by. The animals are so 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 each day, but then the day comes when one suddenly stops and peers into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. 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 finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved soft head, and you finally get to look once again into the loving eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

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.

PEPE

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a child’s face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

Pepe I miss you so very much I miss our walks going with the children down tha canal.The boat we went past except you didn't go past, you got onto the boat where a lady was having a cup of tea, how you pinched it when she set her cup down. That was a day to remember. I have so many beautiful memories of days out we had going for a long walk that was arranged by friends. And you walking with each and everyone. We would walk miles I miss those walks with you. I wish that I could give you a cuddle Love you Pepe love you very much xx

Hi Pepe I miss you baby, I know that you will love Eragon and I know that he would love you too. Mum has a new Siamease and it is causing so much damage it's heart breaking. He knocked your photograph downn and tried to knck down your ashes from off the desk and then he got behind where all the wires are. I miss ou so very much I really do. You are always in my thoughts.
The other day I was talking and saying how much you liked to walk how we would go on a walking picnic along the canal with the children. Remembr you getting onto one of the boats on the wa home and drinking the ladies cup of tea from out of her cup. They felt sorry for him and gave us all a lift back home. I remember us walking on a walk arranged by several friends and you going offwalking with each person there. I missthose walks I miss walking with you. I take Zack out but it's not the same and I have not been on a walking picnic you sometime now also most of the children are all grown up. The litle one now they don't like walking. I wish that we could go on one of those long walks we use to take I miss them so very much but I guess it was because I walked with you and that was why they were so very special love you Pepe always will.

Heaven's Meadow

I walk through heavens meadow under the summer sun.
Wild flowers stroke my legs,
Red and Yellow petals caress me,
The dew on the grass washes me,
Each petal and each tiny flower are angels.
Here in Heaven't meadow we wait for you.

My eyes are open,
the sun is bright:
I see clouds floating by,
Birds in the sky
flowers in the meadow
Bees in the flowers.

My eyes are closed,
the sun is warm:
I hear birds singing,
Bees buzzing.

I feel wind on my cheek,
Smell flowers beneath me,
All my senses are alive.
Here in heavens meadow I wait for you.

Symphony by Robert de Meyer

There is no music so gentle,
No sound so sweet,
No praise so pleasant

As the praise, sound, and music
Of that simple word "Love".

The word itself is like a song,
It conjures images of all that is good.

On the lips it's like a soothing drink.

Let's dance, sing, and play
The symphony of love.

From tomorrow I will be unable to lit candles for a few days as my computer is going to the workshop to have upgrades, sending lots of love and caring thoughts to you your family and your angels

"Just A Dog"


From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's
just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a
dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the
time spent, or the costs involved for "just a
dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about
with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a
dog," but I did not once feel slighted. ………….

And in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome
the day. …………………………………………………

"Just a dog" brings
into my life the very essence of
friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a
dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make
me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will
rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the
future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but
an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the
future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure
joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's
good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself
and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they will understand that it's
not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity
and keeps me from being "just a man." So the next time
you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because
they "just don't understand."
