Hey Doglanders – River Park Peeps – we lost one of our own last weekend. Ann Ramsey’s dog Honey crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Honey was that sweet little cocker spaniel with the gi-normous spirit. To know her was to love her.

Ann Ramsey and Honey

My friend, Ann expresses it best with her poetry –

Honey
by Ann Ramsey
October 16, 1991 – January 27, 2007

Of course, no one could know you
the way that I do …
You are subtle, like the air
that paints the sky blue;
You’re my wildflower
where divinity grows;
My best teacher of love,
as far as that goes.
Forever giving, you give
without end …
The more love I ask for,
the more love you spend.
Whether before my eyes
or on my mind’s shelf,
You are the very essence
of Love itself.

Changing Tenses
by Ann Ramsey

The Past will kill you
if you cling to it;
The Future will embrace you
if you bring to it
The Song that Today
has to sing to it.

Dedicated to Ann and Honey with deepest sympathy and love.

My heart goes out to Ann, it is so hard to lose those we love. What a beautiful animal, and beautiful poetry.

we cry tears for you, ann. Be comforted by the fact that you made Honey’s life rich and full of love. She will live on in all of our memories. We love you, Ann.
