"You're a Special Little Spirit,"
the all great Master said,
As he gently caressed the fur
of the Little Spirit's head
"You need to go to Earth
to spend some time, you know,
A place I send most Spirits
to be tested, to learn, and grow."
The Little Spirit, in sadness,
slowly bowed her head,
And from her eye a tear did steal
and down her cheek it shed.
"Don't you fret now little one,
I won't let you stay too long,
I'll bring you back to help me here,
You'll hardly know that you've been gone.
You're my choicest Little Spirit,
you're the apple of my eye."
And he wiped the tear and gently kissed
His Little Spirit good-bye.
"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered,
as she climbed onto her Master's knee,
And the Master said, "I told you,
you would not be long away from me."
And then, the Lord, He noticed
still another tear welled in her eye.
"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit,
whatever should make you cry?"
"I'm glad I'm back," the Little Spirit said,
"but Master you must surely know,
When Your Angel came to get me,
I did not want to go.
I know You said You needed me,
and that I'd be gone the shortest while,
But Lord, couldn't I have had
a little longer earthly trial?"
The Master let the Little Spirit
slip down from off His knee,
He firmly touched the little dog and said,
"Come walk with Me."
The Little Spirit and the Lord
slowly walked hand in hand,
As the Master explained her special part
in the great and marvellous plan.
"Now, Lord, I don't mean to argue,
I understand that you needed me home.
But I left in such a hurry,
I left everyone hurting and so alone.
I didn't let my earthly parents know
how much I loved them so.
I was too small to tell them Lord,
how will they ever know?
They feel they've been cheated,
and in a way, so do I.
Not getting to share any more than we did,
how can I ever tell them why?"
"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy
with this message you need to share.
But you need not worry anymore,
I'll watch over your loved ones there.
I'll send them loving comfort
as a strong and helping hand.
I'll contend and give peace to their aching hearts,
so they will understand."
The Little Spirit looked up at her Master
and said "Thank You for explaining it to me.
And could you please tell them that I'm safe and happy,
and that someday They'll be here with me?"
"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod,
I'll tell them all that I can.
Then the others came to see the Little Spirit,
as the Lord let go of her
He said, "I'll tell them that you're pure,
as pure as Heaven's Gold,
That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul
to keep Heaven from getting cold"
A tribute to a grand old gent.
You Setters are there to show us humans how to care and love and have fun.
Run free at rainbow bridge my darling,
love to your humans.
bless The Hooch. we love fruit too, but we're not allowed grapes. when we have our apple tomorrow, we'll think of you. bless you Hooch and if you come across our sister, Abbi, give her big licks from us xxxx
So very sorry,Just read about hooch it had my hubby and I in tears.It's awful waiting for that day to come.We had to go through the same day with Ben and like your self he was our baby,best friend and more besides.
Those we love don't go away,they walk beside us every day.God bless Hooch xx
As i mentioned last week and i never forgot about Hooch. I have voted for gim as my Best Heavenly Dog in the Pooch Idol competition in the Fancy a chat forum. He still breaks my heart. xxx
Better to have loved and lost.........but that doesn't make it any easier does it? Of course its terrible when we lose any of our dogs but sometimes there are those "once in a lifetime" dogs and Hooch looks like he was one of those. Rest now Hooch you'll be remembered always. xxx
