Kobe

Dec. 1998 —- April 21 2000

Australian Shepherd

We got Kobe on a rainy day in February to keep our

other Aussie “Amber” company. He was a perfect playmate for Amber and

soon endeared himself in our lives. He had a special way of hopping up

and down when he was excited. And he only barked when he was happy.

He never met a person or a dog that he did not like and did not have a mean

bone in his body. The neighborhood boys would knock on the

door to ask “Could Kobe come out and play?”

He would eat his food and Ambers if we did not watch him carefully.

He loved to take the frisbee away from Amber and prance around the

dinning room table daring her to chase and play.

He would always wake me up at the same time every morning with a

hug kiss and occasional nudge.

He quickly got the nickname “Bubba” because it just seem to fit.

We could never go anywhere in the house without our big blue merle shadow.

After only sixteen months he lost his battle with seizures.

We feel it was way too soon to loose such a special friend.

He was meant to be here a short time. So we are so

glad that he spent it with us.

Kobe we love you!

Gary Lisa and Amber
