Today is the day I say Goodbye…
December 22, 1993 – April 1, 2009

I had a blast but tired out. Please don’t let my Mom be sad as I felt love every time she looked in my eyes. I know she cared for me as if I were a Princess. Although, I was not a show dog but her beloved pet I didn’t care and I know she didn’t either. You see, we were Buds and best friends for a long, long time. When she gathered up her show dogs, she never forgot me. People at the shows, knew me, as my Mom carried me around for all to meet. I had fun and slept on the big pillows at the hotels and burrowed under the comforter with her at night. I thought life was just grand!
I could not hear Mom at the end but I knew she whispered sweet nothings to me all the time. Being the scent hound that I am even towards the end my nose went down to the ground and off I tried to go, wobbly but determined. Mom laughed at me because I was always headed in the wrong direction. She would come after me and steer me in the right one.
