bradl Posted July 20, 2012 CH Joywood's Thrill of the Chase CD RN ME 8/7/1995 - 7/19/2012 Perhaps we could have loved you better, Haggis, but we could not have loved you more. You were small. You were handsome and charming. You were serious. You aged gracefully. You were loved. Your crate is not nearly as empty as our hearts. We still relive our last day together with you, old friend. Holding you by turns in our arms, drinking in the fresh, earthy dirt smell of your harsh coat, slightly damp from quiet tears. Our noses buried in your coat, inhaling warmth and memories, exhaling dread, loss and ache. Feeling and savoring the soft weight of your trust, cradled in our arms, our hearts, our lives. 1 Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Posted July 20, 2012 Just opened the forum on my computer, saw the heading "Haggis," and felt my heart sink to my shoes. So so sorry to hear about the loss of this perfect little dog. If we are really lucky, I think we get one or a few really special dogs during our lives, and I will bet you feel that way about Haggis. What a grand gent he was, Brad. I'm shedding tears here, too. Here's to all the old dogs, and the really special dogs...and to Haggis, in particular. 1 Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
