1989 - 2004
Golden Eyes, velvet ears, sweeter ever than his name.
Retriever of all: clamshells, sticks,andballs-- giver of none.
Happy hunter: chaser of deer, cats, squirrels and birds --
Catcher of none, but always glee and laughter at the chase.
Landfall dog: beach parties and hot dogs, soccer and swimming.
Giving to Sampan, his first friend, a shady corner to watch and wait.
Teaching SooMai that it'smore fun to swim, play and run than to sit and be a Sharpei.
Dignified and majestic, a heart without equal in capacity for love;
A soul so pure, he touched the hearts of all he met.
For his mom, his gifts remain forever: devotion, friendship, wit, compassion, beauty, humor, understanding, intelligence, fun -- a magical fifteen years.
90 pound lapdog: Honey of the golden eyes and velvet ears.
