Amigo

July 13, 1996 - May 7, 2001

Sweet Amigo, during your life you had no letters after your name but to many you are a Champion in their hearts. During your life you made many laugh and from your death you made many love and that's a tribute to the dog you were.
 

Your last night with us I could see in your eyes that your battle with Lymphosarcoma was coming to an end and it was up to me to end your battle with a trip to the vets in the morning. This was to be my hardest moment and decision ever to make as you were deep into my heart with the devotion and love you have shown me in our few years together. Oh, what a night we had with you and mama and me on the bed together just laying there telling about all the great adventures you had and the stories you shared with many people. I could still see a tail wag as we talked and cherished the moment that you licked my face. Yes, it was a very special night. As I suddenly drifted off to sleep for a little while only to be awakened by your slight nudge as you snuggled up to me we resumed our reminiscing as I saw the sparkle go from your eyes, the tail wag stop, and felt your soul lift from your body. I tried to be so brave for you, my good boy, but I could not hide my sorrow any longer and my eyes opened up with the first of the many tears to follow. As you lived your life so you passed into the spirit world with the unselfish act of not making me suffer the trip to the vet, you passed where you should have and in your way. As I laid you next to the computer, your favorite place to lay, the rest of the Wild Bunch passed to sniff for the last time and pay homage to a fallen Amigo. It was then that I realized all the torment that I was to go through when they make the trip to join you, but that's the price we pay for love. Yes, your physical being will be missed but I will always feel you in my heart.

Now, as I go out with the sun setting in the sky I can see butterflies dancing where you lay only to change into fire flies as the night goes dark and I can hear the insects and coyotes singing your praise. Amigo, you are sorely missed.

(Amigo, Angel Sheltie): Dad, your love is what carried me frew des last days and I had more love in my lifetime than most dogs will eber see. I have not died cause as Miss Barbara wrote in her poem about me "What's Loved, will never die" and I was so loved by ebberyone all over the werl. What betta legacy to leaf dis werl wif den to knows I was da reason dat lots of dogs got lots of hugs. Dad, franks fur the things ya gave me fur my trip, da blankie I will lay on wif Bo an Butch, da socks an udderwear I shall cherish, an da Woobies will be well used up in no times. Oh yea Dad, da Treats dat ya sent fur me an some fur Bo an Butch ... wail, I'm sorry ta woof dat Bo's an Butche's Treats got losted somewhere, wail ok I ate dem. Dad ifn ya eber needs me just look into yer heart cause dat's where I have been an dats where I'll always be.

With love from the Wild Bunch

Owned and loved
since he was 7 weeks old
by Kathy Tennant

From that moment I met you life had begun
From that moment you were the one
Right beside me is where you belonged
From that moment on

From that moment I had been blessed
You lived only for my happiness
From that moment
I gave my love to you with all my heart

From that moment
You and I would never be apart
From that moment
My dreams came true because of you

From that moment as long as I live
I will see you, I promise you that
There is nothing I wouldn't give
To have you back again
From that moment on

From the tiniest baby to my "old man" of 11 you were always there. Although it's been over 3 years I still look for you in the evenings when everyone comes in. I will see you at the Bridge with your Mom, sister, and beautiful son, Joseph.

Joseph was always the lover in the bunch of puppies. From the time he could barely walk he would throw himself into my arms with an "I love you, Mommy." I didn't need and had no intentions of keeping a blue male, but he just seemed to stay. Thus I named him "Just Because."

He was such a gawky puppy at 10 weeks, but still was a super lover. All you had to say was "Kisses, Joseph" and he'd throw himself into your arms and give scubulions of kisses.

He grew and always retained his sweet and loving nature. I was concentrating on Eve and never showed him much. He went to one specialty match and was Best Adult (his half-sister, Cher, was Best Puppy). He went to about four shows and was WD for his first two points, with me handling. He was so "out of coat" that day that I very nearly didn't show him. The day after the entries closed he started blowing and I had taken out several grocery bags full. The judge commented that he would have liked to see more coat. "Gee, if I'd known, I could have brought you 5 grocery bags full," I replied. He laughed, saying, "Bring him back with it attached."

I lost him totally unexpectedly. I had gone away for the weekend and when I got home he was dead. I didn't get to tell him goodbye. I know he's giving kisses to his special Angel at the Bridge while waiting for me.

My Sorrow

I could not understand before, and I still cannot see why,
I wish someone could explain to me why you have to die.
Time passes by so quickly, so fast I never knew.
But, I would give up all I have, to have another moment with you.
You were there when I was sad, and you were there when I was hurt.
And, for all the love you have given me, more than gold I think you are worth.
You never won an award, but your antics filled me with delight.
For within your soul and eyes lived an ever-present light.
I fear what time will do to me. I know my memories will fade.
I just hope to remember the good ones that we made.
And, while I know you have to die, I'll love you while I can.
I just hope you always know you're a part of who I am.
