Emmett *Stonecrest Emmett Kelly, CD SAR CGC*
has an appt to lay to rest friday the 26 in my yard at ten in the morning.
my noble old man is ready to make the journey, to go join sampson and my sweet angel haddie.
with much love, this decision was an agonizing one for me.
Emmett has had such a wonderful adventure filled lifetime, doing SAR for six years, and excelling at it, he surprised many of the GSD and my own hubby whom i met doing the Sar work, he and recon joined us together, and with much hurt, i will let him go.
i am taking comfort in the fact that his life was so full, compared to my angel Hadley.

I am so sorry it is time for him to go.
Their stays on earth with us are so brief, yet filled with endless joy and love. That is why we love them so, I believe. That pure selfless adoration that we see each time we look into those intelligent eyes.
I wish him a peaceful release from his earthly body, and for you, I wish you peace. You are giving him the last wonderful gift you can, the release from his worn out body.
I am sure his heart is still just a lovely and pure as it ever was.
If I did not think they would be waiting on us when it's our turn, I'm not sure I could bear the losses.
I will keep you close in my thoughts tomorrow morning.
I've been in your shoes, and I know how it feels.
I wish you JOY in all the wonderful memories I know you have of such a great worker as he was, and may time somehow dim the brutal pain of his loss.
With Sympathy and understanding. ....

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. It is a very difficult thing to do. In your heart you know it is right. The memorial is beautiful. Sounds like he had a very full and loving life. May his passing be quick and gentle. He has earned his wings.
We will be thinking about you.

I am sorry for your great loss and will be thinking of you tomorrow at 10 am. There will be so many times in the coming weeks you will feel his presence or hear a footstep behind you and you will know he is with you. So many here have comforted me these past 2 weeks in my grief and I know as you reach out, we will be right here for you too. I does help to talk about it and all the people here will comfort and let you talk about him. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time....

I'd like to suggest that tomorrow night we all light a candle for Emmett Kelly, and wish him Godspeed to the Bridge.

Dear "sarnewfie":

Thinking of you today at a difficult time. ;)

When I had to make the same choice for my Zephyr angel, someone sent me this lovely poem. It helped to dull the ache, though nothing could ease the pain except for time. We'll be thinking off you.
~I Stood by Your Bed Last Night~
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew,
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good- night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.

i sat outside with him for about fourty five minutes, brushing him, and talking to him, telling him how many lives he has touched and how many people remember him, he chattered his jaw, in happiness, i told him i love him with all my heart, and to go find haddie my angel girl, and sampson my devoted old man.
i also said, when you find the cranky rotty, ;) we will know it, becouse it will thunderstorm when you do find him, he and recon butted heads a lot! LOL
i miss him terribly, i will miss his body laying by my feet, i will miss him on the bed with me, Sydney now has taken his spots for the last week, becouse emmett couldnt get on the futon anymore.
thank you guys for the support, emmett has touched so many lives. and for that i am so grateful, he was one special newf, never to be forgotten living on in my heart of hearts.

I thought of you and Emmett Kelly today about 10am.
It was such a beautiful day here. I was driving through some trees, and there were beautiful rays coming from the sun.
Or were they going to it?
He has been lifted free of his worn out earthly body.
I will be lighting a candle tonight in his memory.
Godspeed, Emmett Kelly.
May we all be so well loved and tenderly missed when we are gone.
-
I am crying as well.
We were in the same situation 4 months ago and my heart goes out to you.
This was on one of the cards we were sent.
A pet is a special part of your family
who will always have a special place in your heart.
They are gone from our sight but never our memory,
gone from our hearing but never our hearts,
gone from our touch but their presence is felt,
and the love that they gave us never departs.
God speed Emmett Kelly

OH, SAR, I'm so sorry about your loss of Emmett Kelly! How are you doing? I'm sitting here with tears running down my face ( ONLY on this site....the ONLY thing I cry about is animals!). Reading that poem brought back the loss of my two wonderful Newfs last year. I know your Emmett must have had a wonderful life with you and the joy of bringing you and your husband together must of been so much fun to share. Rest in peace, dear Emmett, and please accept our condonlences, SAR!
