I be 6 Months Old

Hey dere, it's Keltic here. Mums is lettin me rite the blog today as it's my half birday, I be 6 months old and is nearly growed all up.

Ise started takin beedience two weeks ago as Mums says Ise gotta learn sum manners, that I canna stay a puppy boy furever. I be doin okay. The first class I was a barky boy and Mums got told she should bring a stuffed kong so I'd be bisee during the boring bits. I was pretty good at da last class, eben when we went outside to work. Ise still gots to work on downs, do naw know why I gots to lay down when Mums is jus gonna tell me to get up again.

In two weeks time, weese gonna do a gility seminar for puppies. Mums says it'll just be me and her, Beckett is gonna stay home. That's probably betta as I don work well for Mums when I hears Beckett barking as alls Ise wants to do is play with my big brudda. This past weekend, Mums took us both to the gility field. Beckett and I gots to wander around an explore. I did the dog walk and A-frame all by myself. I do naw know why Beckett says you gotta work at gility, it seemed pretty fun to me.

Da first six months of my life as been pretty citing, Ise been lots of places and met loads of peoples and doggies. Beckett is a good big brudda, he lets me tug on him and usually lets me win when we restle. I miss da old guy dat used ta live here; he did naw play much but he used to let me takes my naps by him. Mums says he be gone to a good place and we'll sees him again sum day. Mums is pretty good to me too but she don let me bring the stuffy toys outside. I be fast though and did tricks her once or twice.

I can naw wait til I be a year old. Beckett says you get lots a good pressies when you is a year old.

Til next time, have a dog-gone good time, Keltic boy.

Happy Half-Year Birthday Keltic!!! Good job sneaking the stuffie toys outside! You know what's even better -- is trying to sneak outside stuff like twigs and leaves in the house. Boy does that get our Mommy mad -- she doesn't see us sneaking it in at first and then all the sudden she will turn around and there's an outdoor stick or something. Always got to keep our mom's on their toes you know.

Keltic is a sweetheart.
Pats & pets to her.

TY for you thoughtful comments - sharing your loss.
I'm an only child, no family hence doing the nurse thing alone.
Like you said our fur kids are our family - depression issues stops me rehoming

Agility Blessing

May the tunnels not have too much suction,
May the course be fun and fast.
May your dog not stop to say "hello" to the photographers they pass!
May the table not be too slippery,
May the chute house no scary beasts,
May all the yellow parts be touched with one little toe, at least
May the wind be always at your back,
May no bars fall on the ground,
May the A-frame have no stop sign on the top,
May the judge's whistle never sound.
May your dog obey all correct commands,
And ignore the ones that are wrong.
May your heart be light, your feet be sure, and the bond with your dog grow strong.
At the finish line, may great joy abound, regardless of your score,
You have your dog, your dog has you, and who could ask for more?

What is a Title!

Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a higher title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores. A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor that dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans will do as well or better in that regard, and though the dog himself doesn't know or care that his achievements have been noted, a Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things count.

A Title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed. And a Title says that you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and that you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed, and that in the end your faith was justified.

A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few, that in the world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return. And when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name.

A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received, permanently recorded.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end

And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,

I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.

I saw a wondrous image then of a place that’s trouble-free,

Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side

Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!

My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new

I wanted to run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, and tell you I’m alright

That this place is truly wonderful,

Then a bright Glow pierced the night.

Twas the Glow of many candles shining bright, strong and bold

I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,

We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.

So, whenever you need to find me, we’re never far apart,

If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Do you think the time is right?

May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond, and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and living light.
I want to go, I really do; it's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid, because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know,
That my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me. You know I love you too,
And that's why it's so hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say,
Because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend,

And you'll run on, around the bend.

Gone from sight, but not from mind,

new pleasures there you'll surely find.

I will go on; I'll find the strength,

Life measures quality, not its length.

One long embrace before you leave,

Share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,

But they be they, and they aren't you.

And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,

Will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,

The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.

And as you journey to your final rest,

Take with you this...I loved you best.

-Jim Willis

The Price We Pay

There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals.

It is a cycle unlike any other.

To those who have never lived through it's turnings and walked it's rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with the full knowledge it will be broken seems incomprehensible.

Only we know how small price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given.
