Jasper you were a rescue dog, dad went to the kennels in july 2000, he had been before but hadnt
seen you. One of the kennle hands told dad you would be put to sleep the next day if no one claimed
you. Dad saw you and fell in love with you. He brought you home i was scared id had a bad experiance
with a German Sheperd, You wer so skinny you could see your ribs, We started feeding you and making
you comfortable. You soon became part of our family Nadine use to get on the floor and lay with you.
You use to go with dad when he took Aaron and nadine to school. You made a lot of play mates on the
park, Running free. You knew when one of us was feeling down, you would come and put your head on
our knee. As the older kids moved out and the grandkids came you wer so gentle and loving, You would
often get up with a sigh n move so they could play. We loved you so much, you were a part of the
Clark family. In febuary 2007 you were not as active and seem to struggle walking. Dad and Nathan
took you to the vets. They found you had caner and he prognosis wasnt good. Dad had to make the
awful Descision to have you put to sleep. When dad came home i could tell straight away the news was
bad. It broke my Heart. When Aaron and Nadine came Home from School they were Devestated. none of us
ate that night. We know it was only fair to free you from pain and suffering. Im sure you still come
and watch over us. We have all got your photo on our phone. so jasper enjoy playing with the angels
until we are reunited with you. We will never forget you. No dog or human could take your place.
love mum dad aaron nadine n rest of clark family

I came home from work; after a long hard day
but the house felt so empty; I couldn't stay
So I grabbed my coat; and hopped in the car
then drove to the park; it wasn't to far
I walked down the path; and spotted a bench
then it started to rain; guess who got drenched
I dried the bench; then sat down to rest
I looked up in the tree; and saw a bird's nest
I watched two dogs; take a break for a drink
as my mind started wandering; I started to think
I thought about times; from back in the past
when the fun we had; would last and last
The kid's would see us; as we walked in the park
and they'd come a runnin; as you let out a bark
With your friendly bark; and wagging tail
off you'd all go; play on the trails
You were so kind and gentle; never a pest
in everyone's book; you were simply the best
Always there; for one in need
as you did your best; to do a good deed
I got up from the bench; and walked to my car
then drove back home; it wasn't very far
I walked in the house; and pulled up a chair
then opened a window; to get some fresh air
I went to the kitchen; to get a drink
then sat in the chair; and began to think
My life has been blessed; since the day we met
to me you are one; very special pet
The Lord decided; to put us together
I'll always be thankful; for ever and ever
You are my star; my guiding light
my eyes and ears; in the black of night
I look to the day; we'll be together again
just me and my very; special friend

I miss you so much; my four-legged friend
I ask myself each day; if the pain will ever end
Your loss is so hard; for one person to bear
because we were a team; an inseparable pair
You were by my side; when I got up each day
waiting so patiently; to go out and play
You were there each night; when I got home
waiting to go to the park; where you could roam
You always knew; if I was having a bad day
so you'd snuggle up close; and try to get me to play
If that didn't work; you'd put your head in my lap
then make yourself comfortable; and take a nap
One way or another you; would brighten my day
like only you could; you had a special way
You gave me a lifetime; of memories to hold
through all the years ahead; till I'm gray and old
I promise I'll see you; again one day
when we'll be together again; to go run and play
Your loss is a cross; I will just have to bear
because you and I know; we're an inseparable pair
John Quealy
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.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"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 makes 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 can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

Since you have gone the sun has left the sky,
No breezes blow,
No birds sing
To ease the aching vacuum in my heart.
I shall not forget your gentle ways;
No judgements made,
No difficult demands,
No needs save one,
To share your life with mine.
Now kind, uncomprehending people say,
"Cheer up, you'll love another pet some day."
--Hilda Lunn
A DOGGIE PRAYER♥♥♥
So do not grieve for me,
my friend As I am with my kind.♥
My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash is a shooting star ♥
My boundaries are the milky way
Where I sparkle from afar. ♥
There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined ♥
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my shepherd kind.♥
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
And gentle breezes are rocking me ♥
I dream the dreams of earthling
And how it used to be.♥
The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound ♥
And milk bones line the walking ways
Just waiting to be found. ♥
There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green ♥
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the "Best Of Breed". ♥
For we're all winners in this place
We have no faults you see ♥
And God passes out the ribbons
To each one--even me. ♥
I drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold ♥
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.♥
At night I sleep in an angel's arms
Her wings protecting me ♥
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee. ♥
So when your life on earth is spent
And you reach heaven's gate ♥
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait. ♥

Jaspers poem xxx
If it should be, that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
Don't let your grief then stay your hand,
For this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend only,
Stay with me to the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will see
It is a kindness you do to me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve it should be you,
Who decides this thing to do,
We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Smile - for we walked together,
For a little while. xxx
