| Over The Rainbow Bridge in memory of our past friends |
Alero my friend,
My heart still hurts as if it were yesterday. People tell me it gets easier with time, but when?
How much time will it take to dull the pain?
You were by far the best I could have asked for. You gave so unconditionally, both in work
and play. Thank you for all the love and devotion.
I loved you then and I love you now, I will never forget you. I have high hopes that you are
somewhere on a field of green with all the decoys and dumbells you ever wanted. Don't
forget to "such" me out when my time comes. I love you.
JoAnn

Nancy was a stellar example of what a GSD temperament should be! She was
one of the hardest hitting bitches we have ever seen, yet had the kindest
heart you could ever want to meet. May you rest in peace dear friend. We are
glad to have shared your last years in our heart and home.

"I can't think of anything that brings me closer to tears than when my old dog --
completely exhausted after a hard day in the field -- limps away from her nice spot in
front of the fire and comes over to where I'm sitting and puts her head in my lap, a
paw over my knee, and closes her eyes and goes back to sleep. I don't know what
I've done to deserve that kind of friend."

| I Am Your Dog (Author Unknown) I am your dog and I have a little something I'd like to whisper in your ear. I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often not noticing the truly grand things in life. Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle. You smile at me; I see the love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all the trespasses of prior wrong doing for just a simple moment of your time? That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes to be with me. So many times you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of other of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes, we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep, to run free in a distant land. I may not be here tomorrow; I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes, that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just "One more day" with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have NOW, together. So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as "alpha" or as "trainer" or even as "Mom or Dad," come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look deep into one another's eyes, and talk. I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you, and here I am. I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not think of you as a "Dog on two feet" --I know what you are. You are human, in all your quirkiness, and I love you still. Now, come and sit with me, on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper into my ears. Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short. -- Love (on behalf of canines everywhere) |
