You came into my life. I did not want you, running and barking all over the place. You tore curtains and scraped paint! Time passed, you made me feel safe. Never did I need to lock the door. You stood like a soldier, always watching and listening. Somewhere, I don't know when, I began to depend upon you. To greet me, to join me in the sun for a walk at the park. You became part of my life. Yesterday that changed. I went to work as usual, came home but you didn't greet me. Your crate was in its usual place, I assumed you were curled up and asleep. Little did I know and surely would never suspect, while at work, you were taken from me. Some plan well thought out except for the emptiness. This was not my idea; I did not stop caring. I miss you kind hearted,intelligent,independent,spirited dog that you are. I cannot sleep. Tears and sobbing that stun me, over you. A dog I did not want!

Treasured memories
Pauline as vivid 2006 as in 2002
In Ancient days, they usedto say portals would open once a year to let people know there is more ...
I cannot open any portals, but your memories and thoughts are the key which hold the door ajar
This is a beautiful eulogy.
I too had a beloved dog who came to me against my will, yet whose passing I still mourn.
