On Silent Paws.
On silent paws I will walk with you, through life every day
Did you think I would leave you alone and unloved, when there is another way.

Just close your eyes and you will see me, standing by your side
Just open your ears and listen as through life’s storms you ride.

I am ever present, only a prayer away,
Did you think I would leave you alone and unloved, when there is another way.

Just hold the love you held for me, tightly to your heart
I shall never leave you, we will never be apart.

I’m here, just out of sight, I will never go astray,
Did you think I would leave you alone and unloved, when there is another way.

There is no death when love is the link that bound your life to mine,
Just close your eyes and think of me, smile and all will be fine.

On silent paws I will walk with you, through life every day
Did you think I would leave you alone and unloved, when there is another way.Last edited: 2013-03-28 08:37:08 by Jojo

Oh no! I so hate the railways. My heart goes out to you. It is a lot to cope with - losing your boy and the shock on top of it. God bless you sweet Bracken, you are safe now precious and have earned your little wings. Jade, please know it would have been quick and without pain. He can now rest peacefully because you did find him. Bracken is a special fur baby, look at those beautiful eyes. God was there, waiting to catch him. You will always be together forever. He's only a whisper away. In time may your hearts know peace. xxx

Message from the owner's daughter...
We have been looking at a map and the last sighting was when he crossed a river when he got scared. That was sandy lane/cattle market area, an he went over a train track .. By the looks of the map as he has headed tht way he could be arming hall way , caster st Edmund . I believe tho is nr14 ... There is a lot of farmland around here. So if any body nos of people that live in this area please pass this on. We are now going for a look around this area x

I’ve found that it helps to print out an A4 sheet of paper cut into business-card size slips, each with brief details and your phone number on. Give them to all the local dog walkers, postmen etc. you meet. Then if someone has news when they’re out and about they don’t need to find a poster or log on to the site to contact you.
