3/17/94 to 11/29/96

The Promise of your life, however long we could have together

Was the greatest gift of all.

So very like your mom, nearly reincarnating her spirit,

Loving and living every moment to it's fullest.

Your deep black body, and beautiful muzzle

Expression that won all hearts

Attitude and exuberance that made us all laugh

Daddy’s best friend, fastest licks in the Southeast!

The joy your short life has given us

Will always be remembered

As the best a Basset has to give.

Love, beauty, humor, a best friend.

We did not knew the limits to your lifetime with us

When your time came.

What a shock that was

Our sorrow is deep in your passing

Over the Rainbow Bridge

Our lives have been full for we had you

Lived with promise, and promises fulfilled

Thank you god for letting us have him

Rugby forever in our hearts we

miss now and forever

Love
