As you set off my trusted friend, may you always be warm and well fed. May the windy breeze run through your chocolate coat and gently lift your big brown ears. May the ground be soft beneath your feet, and the terrain be gentle and not too steep. As you walk with your brothers and sisters and get lost into the daily games, please take the time to hear the sounds of all the life that abounds around you. See the beauty, smell the aromas that intoxicate your superb gift of scent. Enjoy the clear, clean water of endless pools. You gave more to us, than we could ever give to you. Until we meet again old girl…
