Doggie Haikus
-author unknown

 I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than You
will ever be.

 Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds -- I celebrate
By kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Paper boy -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I sound the alarm!
Garbage man -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

How do I love thee?
The ways are as numberless as
My hairs on the rug.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.

.I Hate my choke chain
Look, world, they strangle me!
Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!

Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot -- no greater bliss -- well,
Maybe catching rats

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much as I do.

The cat is not all bad --
She fills the litter box
With tootsie rolls.

Dig under the fence--why?
Because it is there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Jaxon and daughter Emmy

What are you doing RIGHT NOW? Take your dog out for a walk or a game of ball!

Remembering Sadie......

U-CD SADIE AX, CDX, CGC, HC, TDI, TT, OCX, O-VCCX
November 5, 1990 - April 20, 2006

          

 

Sadie came to me when Tucker was 9 months old. (Pictures above show Tucker at about 1 ½.)  He’s now 16 years old so he has never known life without her.  She was the first dog I had as an adult and I figured that, especially because she was a Border Collie, I’d better get her into a training class right away!  The rest is history.  It’s because of her that I became involved with dogs, training, our business, etc.  I owe all I’ve learned and experienced in that regard to her.  We learned everything together as partners and that’s what made it all so much fun.  She was always up for a game of any kind; smart as could be and a smarty-pants, too. 

She was talented in many ways.  We competed in obedience and agility and she was multi-titled in those areas.  We also dabbled in herding and tracking for a while.  Before moving to Mass. she was a therapy dog at a brain trauma center and lead-dog on a drill team.  She loved to do tricks and I swear that she was the one who taught Ruby how to roll over!  But her best talents were being sweet and patient and persistent, being Tuck’s best buddy all through his childhood, being my best friend and partner through all kinds of crazy things in my life……

She was my sweet, sweet, Sadie.  I loved her with all my heart. 

Think a happy thought of her tonight.  Give your own buddies an extra hug.                           ~Tina          (spring 2006)

 

Dearest Sadie - It's your job now to watch over Mimi and be her companion.  Stay with her always.
                                                                                                                                                                                       Love, Mom                                                ~Tina            (spring 2007)
