Alphie by Randy & Loretta Stribline / Auntie Marlene

Alphie, my “Marmaduke” nephew dog. You brought so much joy into your Mommy & Daddy’s life. You were there baby. You were afraid of many things; the telephone, anything falling from the sky (leaves or snow), strangers, fireworks, fog and other dogs but you were not afraid to love. You had many memorable Christmas’ with your Parents. I will never forget you eating an entire package of homemade fudge from under the Christmas tree your Grandpa had sent your parents and being rushed to the vet. You had as many phobias as you had happy times!

Let’s face it you were goofy but you were very, very, very lovable. I hope you are up in doggy heaven eating cookies from “The Cookie Man”, digging flowers in the garden and playing. The family misses you.

 

I will love you forever you big goofball,
Alphie
