The other thread was long in the tooth. Many shared their heart breaking stories of their pets moving on in the last thread. It comforted us to see others coming forth with their stories while my and I struggled with our loss and I hope others found comfort also. We lost Libby (Black Lab) since the beginning of part one but have since made a home for 4 more rescues, so onward we go.                                                 

Waiting at the Door...  I was just a pup when we first met, I loved you from the start, you picked me up and took me home, and placed me in your heart.  Good times we had together, we shared all life could throw, but years passed too quickly, my time has come to go.  I know how much you miss me, I know your heart is sore, I see the tears that fall when I'm not waiting by the door. You always did your best for me, your love was plain to see for ever though it broke your heart, you set my spirit free.  So please be brave without me, one day we'll meet one more for when you're called to heaven,  I'll be waiting at the door.  Unknown Author
