Sabre

Sabre came into our lives October 15th 1985 and stayed with us to April 11th 1999.

I'll always remember going to the animal pound and finding a little two month old bundle of fur. Sweet little Sabre you were so sick, the vet told us to take you back to animal control and get another puppy. We couldn't do that. So we nursed you and gave you so much love that within a month you were so healthy you were able to get your shots. Then you grew and grew into this wonderful 70 pound German Shepherd mix. The vet thought you were German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd, we're still not sure, but that's not important.

You were my constant companion, my four-legged soul mate. You gave us so much love and joy. When Jason graduated from college and I drove the

van all the way to Oakland to bring him home you were my driving companion. I felt safe with you beside me. And you were so silly when we reached Oakland and there was Jason you just jumped and rolled all over the place.

I didn't think you would ever leave us. You were only supposed to be at the vet's for the weekend for observation. I was going to pick you up on Monday, instead the doctor called and said you had passed away. I have never felt pain like this. My heart is broken, I cry for you constantly. My sweet Sabre I miss you so very, very much. I still have your bed by our bed I can't put it away yet. I can still smell you when I breathe on your bed. Sometimes when I'm upstairs I find myself listening for you to come upstairs.

Sabre we will always love and remember you. We miss you so very much. One day I know we will all meet again, what a joyous day that will be.

Love you forever
Margaret and Raynard
