<br>
I am so sorry about Buddy, Wyatt, Doheny, Pippi....and to any of the wonderful hounds I have missed. I have written to some of you off list, but with yet another baby going to the bridge I thought I would post this poem...My hope is that you will find this poem comforting - I so know how you all feel since I lost Sierra this past Feb. May everyone find peace, light, love & happiness in the thought that those beautiful bassets are romping freely now at Rainbow Bridge. Lots of drool for all in need whether you have two legs or four and may you all hug your babies tightly today!<br>

<div align=left><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I wish someone had given little Jesus<br>
a dog as loyal and loving as mine<br>
to sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes<br>
and adore Him for being divine.<br>
<br>
As our Lord grew to manhood His own faithful dog<br>
would have followed Him all through the day<br>
while He preached to the crowds and made the sick well<br>
and knelt in the garden to pray.<br>
<br>
It is sad to remember that Christ went away<br>
to face death alone and apart<br>
with no tender dog following close behind<br>
to comfort His masters heart.<br>
<br>
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn<br>
how happy He would have been<br>
as His dog kissed His hand and barked it's delight<br>
for the one who died for all men.<br>
<br>
Well the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine...<br>
My old pal so dear to me<br>
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone<br>
knowing they're in eternity.<br>
