The beauty and love of Rhyolite — ever loyal, and brave, ready to play a game of tug or chase a lizard; always ready to have your ears and tummy scratched or rubbed; your beautiful eyes and lush red fur, such a happy doggy-smile and joyful bark — lets take a walk, want to play ball? or look for lizards? How about a ride in the car?
You always understood, and were never “too busy” to listen, you were never critical or sad, and you didn’t fuss when dinner was late. You always waited up for me when I had to work late and greeted me happily — and when I was feeling tired or out of sorts, you sat with me and gave me love. As you grew older, I never minded the extra care you needed, the doctor visits, and special needs; You were the best girlfriend-dog anyone could ever ask for.
You were my faithful, loving friend for 11 wonderful years, how I do miss you and cry for you. Please forgive me. Wait for me near the Rainbow Bridge and when we meet again, we will play tug and look for lizards, and take long walks together; I’ll brush your beautiful fur and scratch your floppy ears as much as you want, and rejoice in our reunion. I’ll love you forever my wonderful beautiful Rhyolite.
The beauty and love of Rhyolite,
