One Mans Best Friend for Over 15 Years!

 MEMORIAL GARDEN PHOTO GALLERY:   ( Last Updated: 6/06/10 )
It has been almost 3 years. It was on a warm and sunny Saturday morning, that I said goodbye to my "Best Friend" of 15 1/2 years. The date was 7-28-07. From now on, the last Saturday in July will be a special day around here. It will be set aside to remember the life of my very special friend. 

The pain of his loss is pretty much behind me now. I choose to remember him for the beauty of his life and the many good times that we shared. His Memorial Garden stands as a testament to his life as well as his memory. I tend to it, just as I watched over him in life. The love and caring I put into it, is my way of showing him I still think of him each and every day.

 THE DEDICATION SPEECH:
This memorial garden is dedicated to the life and memory of one who possessed true Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and possessed all of the Virtues of Man, without having any of his Vices.

This praise might be considered to be merely unmeaning flattery if it were inscribed for a human. But is truly a just tribute to the memory of Chocolate Chip, a most wonderful Dog who visited us and graced our lives for just a short time.

He was "just a dog" to most, a "good dog" to many, a "great dog" to a very few, But to Me, he was my best friend, my confidant and my brother in arms for more than 15 years.

Until We Meet Again, Rest In Peace ol' Friend!!!
