A Time To Say, "Good-Bye"

It's hard to believe it's coming up on two years since we said, "Good-bye" to our trusty companion, Ringo.  He will be forever missed.

Saying "Good-bye" to Ringo before his final trip to the Vet.

Beloved Friend
Trusted Protector
A life summed up in just four words
Nine syllables on a headstone
Carved through tears
For a Golden Cur

They may not hold much meaning
Unless you knew him like we did
So fearless was he to defend his “pack”
But when it thundered
He always hid

A gentle giant of the canine world
He tipped the scales at one twenty three
We’re left with only memories now
His empty doghouse by the tree

Beloved Friend
Trusted Protector
Always placid, not easily riled
To our boys; their four legged brother
To Sue and I
Our middle child.



Good boy, Ringo.

I miss you already -
And always will.
