When the body that lived at your single will,
When its whimper is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
(From Rudyard Kipling's "Power of the Dog")

my Master with regards to obediance, loyalty, and rendering unconditional love toward Him. Even in passing he taught me how important it is to embrace our loved ones as though it is the last time we might see them...it very well could be.
His presence was a blessing in my life and in the lives of many others, and I will be forever grateful that he spent his last night in a household that was free of anger, animosity, or ill will.
