IN MEMORY

AsaBear - 12-23-87 to 08-03-98

We had almost 12 wonderful years with MaMa Bear.
She will always be remembered with love.

Never easy to say goodbye

It is never easy to say goodbye
when they speak to us with their eyes.

When their bodies are tired and old,
when the love that we've shared becomes pure gold.
The measure of friendship is put to the test,
when the showing is finished and it's time to rest.

From deep in their hearts their eyes will ask,
please ease my pain, your most difficult task.
There is joy in the memories, treasure them all,
winning a ribbon or chasing a ball.

So go now, you're free, to run and to play,
where the sun always shines, day after day.
For the master you serve now is gracious and fair,
and he'll love you and guide you until I am there.

 The saddest time in my life was letting my beautiful boy go.....There are no words for the deep stabbing pain in my heart....

In the just under 21 months that i had him....he was the clown in my life and made everything i did with him fun... wanting only to please me and do things right. He showed his heart out for me.. even tho he could have cared less about being in the ring.....

He truly loved his herding experience!!!! It showed what a gutsy brave boy he was even tho he was just a baby at the time.

He fought the brave battle to stay with me, but when the
time came i knew he shouldn't have to be tortured anymore!  The "look" in his eye was there..... Rainbow Bridge was a happier place for my gorgeous whittle man.........

I am sure the tears will one day end......but its like he opened a flood gate in my heart......there will always be that corner that is empty cus he isn't with me anymore.
Good-Bye my wonderful beautiful Ace man.....:-(

I lost a special friend today
the kind you can't replace, 
and looking at her empty bed
I still can see her face. 

I know she's in a special place 
our Lord has for such friends, 
Where meadows, fields & flowers 
help make them strong and whole again.

I know she's watching over me
She'll be with me when I cry,
So with one more kiss on her beloved head
I told my friend goodbye.     (author unknown)
