Prince Night Star Spoofer the third…
better known as Spoofie…entered my life
when I was 9 years old.
He was a family dog but
my best friend and companion.
Spoofie and I were inseparable…
even as I went into Jr High and High School..
Spoofie still went everywhere with me.
He was just a part of our crowd.
Everyone knew him and loved him.
As collies do…
Spoofie developed problems
with his hips and legs..
I remember being 19 years old..
Spoofie had just turned 11 yrs old and
I was moving into my own apartment..
My friend David had packed the car
with my things and Spoofie,
who hated the car, crawled into
the car on top of everything as if to say…
if you are going so am I. Sadly…
Spoofie did not live long after that.
He had been suffering from some unknown
illnesses that had been plaging him
for a few years…
My Mom called me one day to tell me
that he couldn’t get up…
I ran to the house and spent
the day lying on the floor with him
just telling him how much he was loved.
I had to leave for a while that day and
I remember praying to please
let me see him greet me at the door
just one more time..
when I got back to my parents that day..
Spoofie met me at the door.
It was the last time he walked on his own.
I went home that night only
to be called early in the morning..
Spoofie was not doing well and
we needed to rush him to the vet.
I ran to my parents house.
I remember seeing my Dad crying
as he said goodbye to his buddy.
As we were in the car going to the vet…
I was holding Spoofie in the back seat and
he was licking my hand…
I kept whispering to him that
I loved him…suddenly he bit down
a little on my hand and then released
it and he was gone.
We had Spoofie buried in
a pretty little pet cemetary..
but I know that he has always been
with me since the day he died…
I feel him and I see him in my dreams.
I know that he watched over my Jakey
and is with him now
at the Rainbow Bridge
and I know that they both watch
over my new little furbaby kitten
Alli and will keep her safe from harm.
She has 2 beautiful angels
as do I watching and protecting me from heaven.
We all miss you Spoofie and
we know that you and Jakey are watching
over us from the Rainbow bridge
just as you did throughout your lives.
With Love and kisses for always…..
Mommy, Daddy, Janie,
Sus, Megs, Jenn & Alli
