[Buster Brown]

John I just wanted to say I am so sorry about the loss of your sweet Elvis. Words cannot describe the special bond we have with these sweet souls who give their love to us so unconditionally. I honestly feel that the world would be a better place if more people loved and bonded with their dogs. So many people feel alienated these days but the love of a dog could heal this loneliness. You and Elvis shared this special kind of love so that the loss of it causes you heart to ache even more, but you were lucky to have shared such a bond, to have as your companion & best friend Elvis. My deepest condolences. Elvis waits for you.
I haven't left at all
Haven’t Left At All

I saw you gently weeping as you looked through photographs
You paused for just a moment at one that made you laugh.

But as you turned more pages the tears began to flow
You whispered that you missed me but I want you to know;

I softly licked those stinging tears that down your cheeks did fall
I want to help you understand I haven’t left at all.

On those days that you are overcome with sorrow, pain and grief
I rest my head upon your leg to offer some relief.

When you take our walking path I’ve seen you turn around
Because I know you surely heard my paws upon the ground.

At night while you are sleeping I snuggle at your side
You stroke my fur as you touch that place where I used to lie.

You said it’s just your heart playing tricks upon your mind
But rest assured I’m really there, my spirit’s left behind.

I know your heart is hurting; it’s like an open sore
You think my life has ended and you won’t see me anymore.

But for those of us bound tight by love, death is not the curtain call;
It’s really the eternal beginning that waits for us all

So as you live your life I patiently await
For us to be together when you pass through Heaven’s gate.
