MEMORIES
Our animal friends may be gone to the Summer Land but they will
never be forgotten.
Labrador, Ashton
They are sadly missed by their
mistress, and my friend, Karen.

Do not search for him in fields of clay.
The Spirit hasn't changed, now that it's free of
mortal coil and Temblor Earthy bonds.
Look up and see his light among the stars.
And you don't feel his voice upon the breeze?
Nor taste his tears in gently falling rain?
That where he rests above the Universe?
Sleeping with the Gods of Love.

Tess left me in early summer of 2004. She
taught me more about dog behavior than any
other dog I ever trained.  She was the best little
ambassador for how well a dog could behave.  I
miss her terribly.  She left me too soon.

Dorothy's Lacey
Lacey was my mother, Dorothy Topp's cat.  
After mom passed Lacey stayed with a family
friend for awhile and then she came to live with
our daughter, Sara.  Lacey stayed with Sara
until it was time to rejoin Dorothy.  She had a
job to do here and when it was done she left us
to be with the human she so dearly loved.
Marilla
Marilla was a little cat that I raised on a
bottle.  I'm not sure she knew she was a cat!
 She lived as my friend for 13 years.  Cancer
took her in August 2005.  I miss her
friendship.

When we take on the responsibility of an animal's care, we take it on for the life of the animal.

Whether the life is a long or a short..............
Morgan was a little kitten born on our
2007.  Very sad day for us.
Brandon has now joined his mother, Tess, in
the Summer Land. He was born here in
1995.  He was born with crippled from legs
which sometimes happens in the "dwarf"
breeds of dogs.  He was a very brave little
dog!  He left me in the spring of 2008
leaving behind his sister, Ena.
Ashton was an extremely gentle,
intelligent leader.  She was one of the
few dogs I ever met that was a true
"leader of the pack."  Here she is with
Tess's puppies.
Ashton was a Labrador Retriever.
She left when her job was done.  

She dragged me off the couch and taught
me to enjoy life, to laugh and to cry.  She
gave me the courage to be what I am.

My student, companion, teacher and
friend.  Always there, never questioning,
forever understanding.

To say she was a great dog, wouldn't be
doing her justice.  She may be physically
gone but her spirit will live on in my beliefs
and who I am.  She will forever be the
symbol of the driving force in my life.

I salute her, and thank her for the short
time she shared with me.  Regardless of
what the truth is, I have to believe I will
see her again.

A Pagan blessing comes to mind:  Merry
Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet Again.  
Farewell, my beloved friend, until we meet
again.

We are allowed only one great dog in
our lifetime. Ashton was mine...............

Special animal
friends are always
remembered.  The
heart aches for the
loss of their warmth
and friendship, but
the mind
remembers the
happy times and we
smile through the
tears
.
Merlin
Merlin left us in the fall of 2009.  He
loved & lived with my daughter and her
husband.  He was 16 yrs. old.  He
came into their lives as a rescue dog.  
He is sadly missed by all.
Ena
Brandon --
Little Raven
Ena left me in late summer of 2009 at
the age of 14.  She was a gorgeous
sweet little Corgi.  Now Tess,
Brandon and Ena are together in the
Summer land.
Here at Sithean we also had feline
friends we'd like to remember.
