Dusty

8/6/1996   -   20/1/2010

On 20/1/2012
 I remember him,
and the many good times we had together.

My little boy was put to sleep at 2:34pm NT Time on 20th Jan' 2010 .
He passed away peacefully at the Humpty Doo Vet Clinic ,
I held his paw and placed a hand on his shoulder.

He was Cremated at Berrimah NT. and returned back home Monday 25th Jan' 2010

They say memories are golden, well maybe that's true.

I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you, A million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,

I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.

But as we are called one by one, our chain will link again.

His Safety Gear is Folded

To everyone who knew Dusty and helped
in any way to give him enjoyment and happiness

I say on his behalf

THANK YOU

A TRUE LITTLE FOREMAN

Tuesday 19th I gave Dusty a little outing in town to give him a swing, he always loved that,
He also had a chocolate coated Icecream

 

 

 

I would also say a big thanks to Trish of Newman Transport for allowing Dusty to ride
in her truck, he travelled many hundreds of thousands of Kilometers all over Australia

This is Dusty with Jeff Jensen in Wyoming, Dusty loved to chase Chipmonks

To all who sent emails and personal MM's from another website I say Thank you, they were all read through misty eyes.

I received emails from Cairns, Kuttabul, Canberra, Orange, Brisbane, Beaudesert, Ingham, El Arish, Perth, Kallamunda, Darwin, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Geraldton, and others in WA , Tas' Vic and SA .
And from overseas , The US states of Texas, Wyoming, California, and Minnesota, and from the countries of Scotland, Indonesia, and Germany.

Special Thanks to Diana at International Pet Transportation, Los Angeles, Cal'.
And the verse you sent .

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...
 

    


One day in the future Dusty and I will cross that Rainbow Bridge together.

 

I’m Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me,

I'm still here, though you don't see.

I'm right by your side each night and day,

And within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near,

I'm everything you feel, see or hear.

My spirit is free, but I'll never depart,

As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight.

I'm the brightest star on a summer night.

I'll never be beyond your reach.

I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,

And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.

I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,

The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,

The first warm raindrop that April will bring.

I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,

And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,

You can talk to me through the Lord above you.

I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,

And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,

And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.

I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.

Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!
