I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said, "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you every day
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled; I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
And say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

Spindrift's Misti Mornin CD
"Misti"
Lobo Dell Autumn Splendor x Elf Dale Licorice Candy
January 21, 1979 - October 9, 1986
As my first Sheltie, Misti taught me the incredible joy and love
this breed can bring to their owners. Her life was much too short
and I still miss my little
punkin'.

The seizures are ended. The endless circling that heralded the end has stopped. Summer packed her bags Sunday night, March 14, 1999, went to the airport to wait Monday morning. The plane finally left for the Rainbow Bridge Monday afternoon at 1:15. She had a safe trip! A host of Sheltie family friends, and acquaintances were there to meet her when she arrived. They traded warm greetings, news & love as they left the terminal. Vonnie Taylor, Von Ri Shelties |

You are such a very special Sheltie boy. I raised you from birth. We were inseparable. I finished your championship, and then you went everywhere with me. I miss you more than words can ever relate. Our dog hobby will never be the same. You were my joy in life. You were Angie's first experience in junior showmanship. You taught her everything she needed to know. You accompanied her to Westminster even though judges don't look at Shelties, you stood out and showed your heart out for Angie! You were wonderful, precious, friend. You deserved to live longer than 10 years. Years have now gone by and I still feel the terrible loss. I will never forget you "JJ". I love you! Darla Duffey |

"Amico" As remembered by Esther Knapp
Amico would have made a great therapy dog. I had a human friend who suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder. Several of her personalities were children of varying ages. Amico sensed all by himself when she would "switch" personalities, and would reach appropriately to each one - playing boisterously with a 12-yr-old, then lying quietly by the side of a shy 4-yr-old. He also taught an aging, lonely Alaskan Malamute how to play again. But our time together was very short. He died suddenly at 2 years of age from intestinal torsion - something very rare for Shelties. I was devastated to lose him. We were kindred spirits. But I know that I'll see him again someday, and it is because of him that I am totally devoted to the Sheltie breed today. Thank you, Amico. You were the perfect companion and friend. |

On February 14, 1994 I got my first Sheltie - an 11-week old puppy I named Amico. His name was Italian for "friend," which was exactly what he was. Amico and I became best buddies and sweethearts. I took him all kinds of places - work, children's choir practice, camping, voice lessons, everywhere! We did beginning obedience together and he got the top mark in his "graduating class." I was so proud! He was no conformation champion, but he was most certainly the champion of my heart.
