In loving memeory of our beloved cocker spaniel Jasper affectionetly known as "Jazzie". He will be greatly missed by his owners Dana, Derek, and Megan. We have had Jazzie since he was 3 months old and he was the most loyal and loving dog that anyone could ever ask for.
Unfortunately Jazzie was also very inquisitive and liked to explore and get into things he shouldn't and that is what made him ill. The Doctors and Technicians at VCA Animal Hospital in Taylor, Michigan and The Michigan Veterinary Specialtists Hospital in Southfield, Michigan are to be commended for there wonderful loving care and compassion in their quick actions and gognificant efforts made to save our precious pup.
Unfortunately his little heart could not take the strain and he chose to go to Heavan just before the blood transfusion he needed to save his life. We will never be able to forget Jazzie, all the love we received from him and all the joy we got from his being in our lives.
We would give anything to just be able to hold him and get after him for his antics just one more time.
WE LOVE YOU JAZZIE!
A DOG'S PRAYER By Beth Norman Harris
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is moregrateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
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 footsteps falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp 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, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you.
Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest -- and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
