Rainbow Bridge

Yesterday was a sad day my friends.
Samson has crossed the rainbow bridge.
I only knew him for a few weeks, but I instantly loved him. He had a sweet soul that didn’t deserve to suffer. I hope that my mom, friends and I made his last days of life a bit better.
I know he’s up there chasing squirrels with no pain.
I found this poem and thought he would like it.
Thanks for the licks Samson.



MAY I GO
by Susan A. Jackson

May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?

I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?

I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.

I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.

To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.

I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.

Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.

So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

  1. Radar and Shana, I'm so sorry to hear of Samson's passing. We all gave him at least a few last weeks of comfort and eased his pain and transition a bit. You are both great loving creatures who opened your home and hearts to a dog that needed a lot of love and care.
