[PyrNet-L] The loss of a friend...

[ROBERT STABILE <robertstabile@usa.net>]

Hello Everyone,


I do not know these people at all but I feel that we are all FAMILY on the
lists... We all share a common bond and love for our animals. So I wanted to
share this with you all. 

Gary and Karen Bingham have lost Chewy. Chewy has been with them for 
6 years. Not sure of the details but that family can use all the support is
can get. They are on the other Pyr list. Anyway they are hurting and can use
some kind words... GaryKarenB@aol.com They loved their Chewy and he went to
sleep with alot of love in the room a tummy rub and an ear scratch...

This is for you Gary, Karen & Chewy:

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more
grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand
between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me
the things you would have me learn. 

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must
know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting
ear. 

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated
animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements.  I ask no greater glory than
the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. 

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer
thirst. 

Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to rom and play and do your
bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready willing and able to protect
you with my life, should your life be in danger. 

And, my friend, when I am very old and I no longer enjoy good health,
hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going.  I am not
having any fun.  Please see that my trusting life is taken gently.  I shall
leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw, that my fate was always
safest in your hands. 
   
Goodbye Chewy you were loved and will be missed....
 Robert Stabile
       & 
    Family

Pyr" & Scetch "The African Grey"
