From your first kisses so wet
I knew my search was over.
You’d live with me; and be my pet
So off we drove in my Land Rover.
The first order of business
cringing at the thought of this
was to meet the princess
who greeted you with a hiss.
Training my new pup
seemed to take forever
but as you grew up
we understood one another.
Throughout the years
you’ve been a joy
even those with canine fears
fell in love with my boy.
What a clown you could be
when facing new tasks
on our trip to the sea
you stole a young boy’s mask.
I watched in horror
for the mother to react
she let out a laugh
and patted your back.
You ran toward a family at the bay
Headed straight for the mother
Who is this I heard her say
That’s our dog, we call him Gunther.
Now we must let you go
you will live on in our hearts
know that we love you so
I hate that we must part.
One last hug; and one last kiss
before you cross over rainbow bridge
your sweet face I’ll forever miss
for without you now we must manage.

My heart and my sympathy goes out to you on the loss of your beloved Gunther. It was so clear from your poignant tribute that he had a most wonderful life and it's also evident that his presence in yours will be deeply missed.
Please find comfort in the fact that Gunther knew how much he was loved,that he was surround by that same love when you sent him to The Bridge with dignity and in peace and that he's now happily running like a puppy with all of his new friends thru the sunlit meadows of that most blessed place.
((((((((((((MAKE-UP & HER PRECIOUS GUNTHER))))))))))

Thank you for your kind words. So many say it's just a dog or just a cat... But they are family and he was with me for 14 years. It also doesn't matter whether it's your first or 100th pet, it's so hard to say good bye. I know he knew he was loved. My husband and I have been accused several times of spoiling him, which in my opinion is what we as humans should do for our pets. Gunther was my third dog and my second golden retriever.

Tears are streaming as I read your poem. I know the pain you are feeling, I let my Faith go 3 weeks ago.
I lit a candle for Gunther at Pet Loss.com on the QVC board.
