"Jess" October 1999----- July 5 2000
Dog
IN A SHORT LIFE SHE WAS A TRUE FRIEND
In October we became aquainted with a small black and
white dog who entered our life like a bombshell
The Garden would never be the same
the broom was an enemy to be killed on sight
the next door neighbour was an excuse for a frenzy of leaping and barking.
Always at the door when she could not beat you through it
was a smiling face with a ball stuck in it.
A Story Book dog that any boy would love for life.
She would lie at our feet when we used the computer
sit beside me with her head on my shoulder when I was watching football.
She lived hard and played hard in a life which was just a huge game.
She taught us how to live and
love with all our being in the short months she was with us.
She was always going for one bigger and better and faster
and this would eventually prove fatal.. A car is too big.
We will miss the smile and the ball at the door and
the continual disputes
about bones with Pippin and all the yard in tatters.
Most of all we will miss the unconditional love and
the smile that split her hairy face at the sight of anyone to play with.
We will miss her heart and soul.
You will always walk in our memories.
