"The Fifth Season"

Walk with me a little while.

We will walk together in Spring, with new life bursting around us.

Summertime, side by side we will lie in the sun together, our hearts warm with the good company of best friends.

We will traverse fields in Autumn, with golden leaves soft under our feet, brisk wind at our backs.

Winter brings us to the cozy hearth, dozing by the fire, flickers of embers reflected in our eyes.

There is a fifth season, unnamed, unfathomable, when the leash must be hung on the wall, no longer making the visible connection we have to one another.

Yet the invisible one remains.

Always I will be a part of you as you are of me.

My friend, my heart, my Great Dane.

--Lyn Hamer Cook

January 14, 2003 - May 1, 2006



Sleep well, my sweet Lily.
We still miss you so.

The author's name is Lynn Hamer cook, Yvonne. (http://www.petart.net/alycemoosepage.html)

I'm so sorry about Lily. It's always sad when our furry friends can't be with us for as long as we want them to be.

Wishing you and your family good thoughts.

*hugs* to both you and Wes. What sad news. You gave her a good life and loved her and that's what's most important.

Okay, there's a first for everything, I guess, and crying like a kid with a skinned knee over someone's LJ entry is my first.

I'm not clear whether this happened yesterday or it's an anniversary. The date says anniversary, so I'm going to go with that.

It never really does go *away,* does it? I'm thinking of my best pal who passed on the 28th of August in 2006, and usually, it's okay. I can go entire stretches of time without thinking of him.

But there are days. There are days.

And while we have a new dog, who is creating her own memories with us, it's not the same. And shouldn't be, I guess.

I feel your pain, Yvonne. You guys aren't alone.

Thanks for your nice words, Mark. You're right-- it never goes away. It is the 2nd anniversary since we lost her. If you click on the "lily memories" tag, you'll see more entires.

Lily was beautiful. I'm with you--I'll miss all of my "crossed over" dogs for the rest of my life. They broke my heart, each and every one. But I'm so happy I had them, and they had me.
