Dante and his sister Valentina

Today is a sad sad day... Tomasina called me and told me she had put Dante down. It was time.. the cancer just got too aggressive and his quality of life was just not the same. Tommy did everything she could. You will be so missed our sweet sweet Dante but you are now at peace.. no more suffering and pain. You now join  Mavey, Sweet Pea, Sonny, and all of the other animal friends in doggy Heaven.. the most safest and joyful place to be..Go run free, play and jump! We will always love you our sweet big boy.

 HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR

My best friend closed his eyes last night,

  As his head was in my hand.

The Doctors said he was in pain,

  And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,

  As I cradled him in my arms.

Were of his younger, puppy years,

  And OH...his many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge

  With an intense "I love you gaze",

Only a heart thats filled with tears

  Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,

  And he said, "You should cry no more,

GOD also loves our canine friends,

  HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!
