Snickers Lamb 20 July 02- 22 Nov 09Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die. "
I am going to continoo wishing on the dogstaw to bwing peace to hew family and dwy theiw teaws and that all ouw othew fwiends get well
saddest smoochie kisses
Oh Asta...what a lovely tribute to Miss Snickers...we are sad beyond words;life seems too much to bear at times...but bear it we will...one minute at a time.
ReplyDeleteWe love the pic you have of sweet Snickers as an angel at the Bridge...it brings us comfort and hope to know that one day we'll be reunited with our angel friends...
Kisses and Love....
Laciegirlie, Stanny and Scruffman
This is a very touching tribute to sweet Miss Snickers.
ReplyDeleteThe poem, the picture that you create for Snickers that melts my heart.
Hug you Asta, we all lost a dear lovely friend today!
Gussie is right, the bridge is even more beautiful because Miss Snickers is there.
Love you.
Asta, this is a lovely post for Snickers! We are so very sorry for your loss and you, your family and Snickers family is in our thoughts and we send lots of purrs!

That's a lovely tribute to Ms. Snickers -- and a comforting picture of her at the Bridge.
ReplyDeleteThe poem expresses what it is so hard for us here on earth to accept -- but it is worth reading over and over.
We love you all,
Jake and Just Harry
So sad at the news.. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful dog.. I am sure that all our friends already there will be showing Snickers around the rainbow bridge.. HUgs GJ x
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely..thank you for sharing the picture and the poem.
ReplyDeletegussie
Oh How sad I am
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this, especially when she seemed to be doing so much better. It's the most difficult decision to make, to let a pet go, but the kindest as well. We're off to leave our condolences.
ReplyDeleteYour pal,
Petey
This is sad beyond words, but you made a beautiful tribute to sweet Snickers.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is feeling better now and with friends over the bridge.
Luv,
Duffy
Asta, what a beautiful tribute to our dear, darling friend, Snickers. We are absolutely devestated; we were so hopeful that a miracle would pull her through. There is another bright and beautiful star in our skies now.

I was visiting with Lacy's and heard that your sweet Snickers has left us. I was so sorry to hear this terrible news. I came right over to let you know how sorry I was to hear of this. The mom is typing through the tears again for me. It is always so sad when one we love leaves us. We cry because we will miss them. Snickers will forever be free of pain and will be waiting one day to be with all of her friends here to join her and her friends over the bridge that were waiting for her. I will pray for all of her friends and family that they will get through the hard times and replace the tears with smiles when then can say her name without the tears.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwww Asta....
ReplyDeleteWe're soooo sad for Miss Snickers....
We're sure she'll be running free with all our friends on the rainbow bridge....
What an hard decision for her family...but we know it's been the best for her...
your post is wonderful Asta...so sweet...and your poem is soooooooo touching....you're such a special friend for all of us!!!
You and your family and Miss Snickers' family are in our prayers and thoughts...
Run free Baby!!!
Tons of love and kisses

We're so very sad for pretty Snickers family, but also know she is running free and happily like she were a new pup.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful poem.

Hi Asta, Not sure I have been by yet. Love your background and header.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about Snickers! Your post is lovely.
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,

Asta - you made such a beautiful post about Miss Snickers, but it still maked me leaky teary eyed. Thank you for having an incredible way with words in the most difficult of times. Run free Angel Snickers.

Miss Asta,
ReplyDeleteMomma's eyes really leaked when she looked at that photo. She is imagining Miss Snickers playing with Angus, Pi, and Raja. And how happy Miss Snickers must be to be out of pain and all springy again like a proper WFT.
Slobbers,
Mango
Love your tribute to our cousin Sweet Miss Snickers. I'm joining with you in howling at the dog star for her poor family.Our hearts break for them. Love Eric xxxx
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful tribute to sweet Snickers. We are very sad here too.

What a beautiful tribute, Asta! We are soooooo sad and we will really miss Snickers! We are keeping our paws crossed for Butchy and the rest of the Lambs!

Asta. This was a simply beautiful tribute to Sweet Snickers, and we thank you for writing it. We know it was hard for you. We couldn't bring ourselves to write it quite yet.
ReplyDeleteYou know. We've been thinking. And reading. All over BlogWorld. And now we'll admit that we're reacting. Our hearts are broken. We are sad. We cry. We cuddle together. And we feel. Emotion. Deep deep emotion.
We just read somewhere else that "we were expecting a miracle." And "we lost a miracle." For us, we hoped for a miracle. And, in God's own way, we received it. We hoped and prayed for peace and comfort and a blanket of love to surround Snickers and her family through these last days of her life, when she and they were suffering so badly. Did we hope for her to beat these monsters and survive? You bet. As much if not more than anyone else. But we knew that her time would come when it must. The Miracle that we think we achieved was the Loving Connection that coalesced for her, that gave her the strength to be with her family for the extra days that she did, in a way that we could all feel and appreciate the love she shared with us and the love we shared with her. That is a powerful thing that must, in our opinion, be recognized as Snickers' Gift to the blogging community.
We are sad beyond sad that we've lost this sweet Girl. That Butchy and his family must grieve her passing. But we don't want to think of this as a Miracle Lost. And we don't think Snickers would want that either.
Sorry this has gotten so long. We can't bring ourselves to put it in a post. We hope you don't mind that we've put it here. Bottom line, we know that we are a more loving community because of Snickers. And it will be she that we think of when we recognize the Gift of the Love of Dogs (and Kitties and all other Fuzzies and Furries) that Blog.
We love you.
We'll miss Snickers.
So much.
Jake and Fergi and family
What a beautiful tribute to Snickers, Asta! We are so sad here.

ReplyDeletehi Asta, we are very sad about Snickers. we are having a somber day at our house with lots of tears falling from the sky. we didn't even go to the dog park. RIP sweet Snickers. she was one of our first friends that we met at DWB.

ReplyDeleteOh, my Sweetpea!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there with you (and my girl was there with your mama and dad). Your pain is shared by hundreds of our friends today. How beautiful is your tribute to our sweet friend, Snickers! I'm sending you my love, my hugs, and my heart. We will miss our buddy together and celebrate her life!
Run like the wind, sweet Snickers Girl!
Goober love & smooches,

ReplyDeleteI'm sure she approves of your post -
As we've shared elsewhere, Mom had me share some words from an Unkhle Tupelo song 'not furever, just fur now'

Oh Kousin Asta,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sad. How awful that our poor little Kousin Snickers was so sick. It makes me angry. No dog deserves to suffer like that. Now she is finally pain-free and at peace. But that doesn't make me feel any better. I just want to cry.
Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
We are so very sad here for Snickers and her family- that was a lovely tribute to her - we will join you on wishing on the dog star

Your adoring pal Misses Peach
So sorry to learn of your sad news. Your little Snickers was loved and knew it. Snickers had happiness and such a quality of life that many dogs do not. She will wait for you at the Bridge. Remember the happy days and memories. We send our love to you.... xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe're so very sad to hear about Snickers... good job with your tribute to her. Hers was one of the first blogs we got to know when we first started. Mom added one of our favorite quotes to the comments section on her blog.
