Goodbye my friend...

Special Friend

I lost a special friend today

the kind you can't replace,

and looking at his empty bed

I still can see his face.

I see the endless energy

the sparkling puppy eyes,

Not the tired, fragile friend

That today I bid goodbye.

I know he's in a special place

our Lord has for such friends,

Where meadows, fields & flowers

help make them strong and whole again.

I remember how he'd run to me

to play his favourite game,

And how his ears would perk right up

When he heard me call his name.

But as those precious years went by

And we both aged and grew,

I'd find him often slowing down

But we still had so much to do.

He did his guard dog duty well

Each time the doorbell rang,

Strangers surely couldn't see

My gentle friend--behind those fangs.

I've noticed in the recent times

His ears were not as sharp,

Where is that running ball of fur

The years have shown their mark.

He stopped sleeping next to me

Was this his special clue,

Because he felt the end was near

I only wish I knew.

My Ollie was a special dog

I know he gave his best,

But as I looked deep into his eyes

I knew it was time, for him to rest.

It will truly be a struggle

I don't know how I'll face each day,

I have to let him go I know

But in my heart he'll always stay.

This special place our Lord has made

Health and strength, wait for him there,

So with my very special friend

I'm sending all my prayers.

I know he's watching over me

He'll be with me when I cry,

So with one more kiss on his beloved head

I told my Ollie Dog goodbye.

Ollie dog is such a big part of DOL folklore. The dog who defied the stats, and gave every owner of a cancerous dog so much hope. He will continue to do so because he'll never be forgotten :)

Rest in peace, little boofer. I reckon some of your farts will clear the room at the rainbow bridge ;)

I am so so sorry to her the news Jodie. It must be so hard being without your special Ollie man.

Ollie was an icon. His strength and determination has brought us joy and pride.

Dearest Ollie, run pain free little man. Enjoy your path over the bridge. You will be remembered by many.
