Good bye, Roller - old friend


Recommended Posts

Today, my old sledding buddy Roller walked over the Rainbow Bridge. He was a dog that always held himself somewhat aloof, and always had to have the last word - on anything! He almost didn't make it through last winter - I had to shut him inside the kennel, which he hated! He didn't mind coming into the house for a while, but much preferred to be outdoors, regardless of the weather. He would come in at mealtimes, soaking wet through and shivering from it, if I didn't make him stay in, he was so stubborn! I couldn't get enough calories in him to keep his weight up...

Rolly, I'll miss the wonderful times we had out sledding or at the occasional dog show. See you when I finally make it there!

Here's a picture I took of Roller today with his ice cream. I'll find another later and post it, as well.

R.I.P Roller :rainbowbridge:

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am a diamond glint of snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry

I am not there…

I did not die.

Thanks, everyone - yes, a difficult day...

Roller is DEFINITELY running free - he made one escape last January, and went running down the road, with me chasing him in my sweats and slippers! Shad, on the other hand, is probably sitting there, waiting to see if I'm coming!
