No night is endless,dark and bleak

When from the dark,the light I seek

Erupts to blaze and fire

To guide me past a spirit tired

By heavy hopes and wingless dreams

To find another futures gleam

And when I search the brightness source,

I find your heart,a blinding force.

Aged 14 short years. My radiant heart.

I searched for Lou 4 years,and when she came to me a 6 week old pup,It was like she'd been born just to come to me.

Her breeder held "Pick" for me at a special price. She was every ones pick,but the bond was instant.

From the time she was separated from her litter mates,she never cried once even left alone,so long as she had some thing of mine near by.Slept by my bed happily through even the 1st night,only needing my hand to reach down when she stirred.

She was my helper in all ways,from raising kids and animals to weeding and security,she was known as Goody 4 Feet and The Dog who Never Does ANYTHING Wrong. :laugh: She had a confidence to act that I had never seen before and the intelligence to act in the way that was always right.She defused situations between animals or humans near instantly,and always as a lady (maybe a slightly butch lady) loved and respected by animals and humans alike.

She was my right hand in all things. And likely thought that was my role to her.

Its been months since you left us Lou, You can be proud of your trainee,who looked for you for 3 of those months to come in from the night on your tottering legs,just as you taught him to look out for the weak.

Your constant light is missed and we are grateful for the sparks you set to grow.

Run free.

Thanks guys. Took me long enough to get to the stage where I could write it!

I find myself forgetting how much trouble she was having and the reasons we gave her her wings because she left us with so many good memories.

Dobbing on kids doing what they shouldn't be,

coming to tell me she can't get to her dinner because the kitten sitting in her dish just batting her nose when she tries to get in,

Running to try and answer the phone,

waking me in the middle of the night to tell me the horses had got into the yard.

Rousing on family who thought to backchat with some grumbling and roo roos.

And walking in town,when she saw a girl sitting in the gutter with her back to us. The girl had a tiny bun on the back of her neck. Lou wasn't sure what that furry thing was perched there so before I knew it she'd given it an almighty poke and made the girl jump a mile. ( she didn't mind)

Not just youngsters she will be keeping in line. Visiting dogs were greeted at the gate and given one of her pokes before she trotted away. Even the most reactive would just follow her to learn the rules.Adults were expected to know them.

She blew me away when a fellow near our gate pulled up in car,jumped the fence and started to run towards me...She barked once and ran towards him,me calling her,not sure what she intended. She stopped in front of him only when he stopped,fell in beside him and escorted him to me at a walk,thank you ! She kept slightly in front and watched his face the whole way,like a heel. People used to say it was like she'd been here before. Maybe she will come again. :)

A beautiful tribute to your very special Dobermann girl. I too have felt unable to write about my girl Mary who passed away over a year ago. My constant companion, who shared many of the wonderful attributes of Lou. I feel your pain and like you will be thankful for every day and memory.

So sorry,M.M. I hope you are able to write about her one day.Sometimes words can ever be enough. :hug:

I have never been able to write a tribute for Chimo, A dog who showed me how much is possible and the kind of dogs we could have.

Finding that again,for me,its easier to accept that a tribute can't and won't tell their story.

I hope you find that again too.
