"Devo"

1985 ----- December 8 1999

This is in remembrence of Devo
who my Husband always called the
best dog in the world.
He was right.
I remember the day we found you,
we didn't even want a dog.
We were just helping a friend move into a new place
when we went poking around in the garage
To our horror we saw the previous tenant
had left behind a mother and a litter of puppies.
It was in December and below zero.
I saw you right away;
you were half the size of the others.
I picked you up and put you in my coat pocket.
You fit with room to spare.
We didn't think you would make it.
Ray made a bed for you in the cellar next to
the wood stove and there he slept
with you until you grew stronger.
I remember how you would run so fast;
you would dig up the grass.
You would spin
around in circles earning
your the nickname Spinner.
You never slowed
down right to the end.
