Fuzzy Farewell

Today, Fips was buried in silence.

The following afteroon, when no one was around, I went and stood over my pal's grave. After a few moments, I said to him that I was grateful he came into my life.....

Why is it we face imponderables with a cliché?

NO! To say that I am grateful you came into my life doesn’t state the truth of the matter. You shaped my life, you shaped my life with your frumpiness, your quizzical humor and ultimately your love.

You have a beautiful resting place as befits a beautiful, beautiful dog.

You do not go under to the earth. You rise up through my heart to the sky forever.

I fell to the ground over his grave and sobbed

Oh Mr. Fips. Bye bye my dear sweet doggie.
