Deacon Would Have Been Eight |
Uncle Deacon, would have been eight years old today. Dad thinks about him and his silly ways. He tells me stories about him. Things like him lifting dog biscuits out of a persons pockets. Wanting to come in, when he had really muddy paws. Dad smiles and then gives me hug. I give him a face lick, telling him it okay to remember. His collies are always with him, they are in his heart even when they have crossed the bridge.

Don't worry every paw, I am taking care of Dad. He only gets a bit sappy when he remembers Barkdays past and Bridge Crossings. He will be fine tomorrow.

That is one thing that never leaves us - is our memories and they are wonderful to have :)
They are always in our heart but how we wish they were still with us when they leave.
Deacon was a most excellent collie! Eight yrs old would be hard to believe cuz he acted like such a puppy most of the time. I remember him most fondly. I do remember one visit yrs ago when I was there for a tropical storm. Deacon went out and started pawing at the back glass door to come back in...mud all over his paws and also the glass. I called u to come look and let him in if u wanted today cuz I was NOT gonna let him come in like that!!! Silly boy, always the goober ;-)
Deacon looked like a fantastic friend, but don't forget, collies are always there! I wish I could lift treats from people's pockets!
Have a super week,
Pippa :)

We remember Deacon and understand how much he is missed. His spirit will always be with you and he will always watch over you.
Sherman, you be sure to give Dog Dad hugs and licks from all of us here in CT. Dog Dad is lucky to have you taking care of him!

We know all about human sads at times like this. It does not seem like so long ago! Deacon will always be with you and it so lovely to remember him through nice stories. We like his muddy paws!
