Hello and welcome to WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING). I’m so glad you are here and hope you enjoy what you read.
About Death
Death is a fact of life whether it be with humans or with animals. Sadly we all will experience death at one point or the other. I have lived long enough to experience both human death and animal death. It’s amazing how humans and animals deal with death and go through the grieving process. Each person and animal takes their own time in grieving so there really is no set time that they’re done grieving. humans as well as animals will know when it’s time to move on.
Death: My Experiences – Humans
Like I said previously I lived to see human death. Between friends and family members dying it has been sad and in many cases it was a blessing that they died because they weren’t suffering anymore. But even so, I hated to see these people go.
Death: My Experiences – Animals
Animals that are pets become part of family 99.9% of the time. Those that are outside all the the time or part of may or may not be part of the family. Any pets that we had were part of our family.

From the time I was a baby up to now I had all kinds of pets. We had dogs, a Chameleon, cats and other kinds of animals. We loved our animals and hated when they left us. My family and I have seen our pets (family) die naturally, had to have put them to sleep because they were in such bad shape and we have seen our pets die naturally too. We have even seen a pet die tragically ( not because of our fault or their fault).
What Did We Learn?
My family learned that a pet can die no matter what their age is and that when you go to rescue or adopt a pet, make sure the organization is reputable and they know what your doing. If you find after asking many questions that you know more than they do that should be your first red flag and go to a shelter or rescue organization that is reputable. Always get pet insurance, Get your pet microchipped at your vet so if your pet gets lost or taken they can get in touch with you easier, Always do your research before getting a pet and so much more you need to do before getting a pet.
In Conclusion
Sadly death will eventually come for all pets and humans that can’t be avoided. However, you the owner can make your pet’s life better and maybe even helping them live longer if you feed them right, make sure they’re not obese, give them lots of love and play with them. Playing with them helps them stay fit and somewhat vital. Whether it’s a dog or cat and their attention span is like my Daisy Mae’s, practically nil. However she plays pole and makes the circle from our TV room to back to the TV room again.

Daisy Mae All Stretched Out And Showing Off Her Grey And White Belly.
Hi and Welcome to WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING). I Daisy Mae have been busy getting my picture taken for my updated selfies. I worked so hard that I just had to stretch out the length of myself. Then I find out Sister Crystal is goofing off by dabbling in poetry. That didn’t really make me happy when she could be doing more worthwhile things than trying to write poetry.
NOT QUITE.
OK, maybe I’m being a little hard on Sister Crystal but poetry really? I forgave her when I found out the poem she was writing was about me that’s right she was writing a poem about me. What could I do but forgive her. I also have a new appreciation for poetry.
PURRFECT. NOW LET ME SLEEP!!
Sister Crystal I’m really sorry.
Without further adieu, here is the poem Sister Crystal wrote about me. ENJOY!!>”<🙂>”<

I wrote a short poem about my dog Shandar who died. I called it A TRIBUTE TO SHANDAR.
Shandar~You came into our lives as an Alaskan Malamute puppy dog~Your dad was a champion and a Kal-Kan dog~You were the runt of the litter~You were a possible show dog~And not Expected to get as big as you got. ~ You took us for walks~You pounced on our beds and Pillows ~Chewed blankets ~ But all in all~You were a dog with a good disposition.
Shandar~You will be sadly missed but not forgotten~ You are forever in our hearts and Always be.~ Thank you for the many years of love and being our pet.~They were not only joyous~But they were also a blessing.
Please forgive the yellowing around the edges of this picture. On 11-9-1989, I drew this picture of my dog who passed away. I thought it was a fitting tribute to her.
Deer like most animals~Like to eat~In Fact if you feed Deer, you will probably not only end up feeding the Deer~But you will end up~Feeding other animals too.~When you Feed Deer~The Deer will eventually get to know you~And become Friendly to the Place~Where you can almost walk up to them.~Always remember,~Deer are still wild Animals~And still have instincts~That were born right in them~So always be careful~No Matter what~And to make it more interesting~You might want to get a Game Camera to Watch the Deer~And what else might come along.
Poem By: Crystal Stewart(2017)
The pictures above are my Dad and his deer and other animals he feeds. We are blessed and love the fact we can enjoy Deer up close and personal.
*Note* Game Cameras make good Security cameras along with regular Security cameras.
I am blessed greatly to still have my father alive and well but I also know there are many people who’s Father’s have passed away already. So What I would like to do is not only celebrate my Father but all Fathers By writing A Short Poem In Honor Of Fathers. Below Is The Poem called: A FATHER’S DAY POEM.
Daisy Mae Sitting With Her Back To Her Daddy.
Daisy Mae Playing With Her Daddy
Daisy Mae Playing Pole With Her Daddy
A Father Is Loving~A Father is Supportive~A Father Is Helpful~A Father Is Hard Working~A Father Is Your Idol, Hero And Role Model~A Father Is Fun~ A Father Should Be Someone Who You Look Up To And Want To Spend Time With~A Father Is Someone Who Likes Animals.~A Father Is Just Someone Special You Want To Know~A Father Is Someone You Want To Learn From.
🤴🤴A Huge Thank You To My Dad And All Dads. Happy Father’s Day To All Dads.🤴🤴
I would like to ask everyone to share their Good Memories about their Dads. Can’t wait to read all the memories and share my memories about my father too.
The Chameleon~ Is An Interesting Animal~He Changes Color~Blends In With His Surroundings~So Predators~Don’t Find Him.~Death~ Surrounds The Chameleon~Every Day~So He Is Tortured~With The Fact~Like Most Friendships~You Can’t Trust Anybody~Because You Don’t Know~Who Your Friend~Or Enemy Is.~So Like Chameleon~When We Face The Darkness~Of The Unknown~Don’t Be Afraid~Or Tortured~Because Your Facing Fear~And Especially~Don’t Let Fear~Take Over Your Life~Because If You Do,~You Will Be Miserable.
DYLAN, JEFF AND ANGELA AT THE FARM SHOW WITH THEIR SHOW RABBITS.
Pets are loving, responsible, adoptable, part of the family, caring, they understand you But the best thing about a pet is they won’t put you down or talk back to you. A pet Accepts you for who you are not what they want you to be.
