Whisper

To my beautiful Whisper. You have been my constant companion and best friend for 15 years and I have loved you every day of those 15 years and you have loved me back. You have brought us so much joy and happiness and always been such a wonderful dog. I think you have had the most wonderful life - lots of holidays every year in our caravan to our favourite places Hereford and Brean. You used to love to come. I'd start to pack up our stuff to go and as soon as we called you you'd be out and into the back of the car - until you got older and we had to lift you in. You've made us laugh with some of your little habits - you'd eat anything - bricks, ash, wood, cow pats! Ian has a permanent reminder of your mischief - I only took my eyes off you for a minute and you disappeared down the river bank, into the River Wye. We thought we'd lost you and Ian went down that bank at the speed of light - only his feet went from under him and when he tried to save himself by putting his arms out behind him, he damaged all his shoulder ligaments - he still can't put his collar down and it's been 18 months! Anyway, you were totally unaware of all the chaos you had caused (thank you to the lovely couple who helped us pull you back up the bank that day at Hereford) but you had obviously enjoyed your dip and came back out of the grasses on the side of the river as if nothing was wrong! When you wanted to go for a walk, you'd let me know by going and fetching my walking boot off the shoe shelf. You were so clever - you could tell me things without speaking. You had 15 beautiful puppies and we still hear from the people who came to choose them letting us know how they are getting on and asking about you. One of your puppies - Honey - was going to come and see you this weekend, but you couldn't wait - you were too poorly. I hope I didn't leave it too late to get the vet to come to our home for you - I tried to keep you as long as I could and I was thinking as long as you were eating and still going for a little walk then you were ok. But you were getting weaker and you weren't enjoying your life at the end. I hope you are running free in heaven without all your aches and pains and being able to breathe easy without getting out of breath. I am missing you so much and one day we will be together again, never to be parted. I will love you always and will never forget you.
