Sparky


Sparky has just joined us at DogStar. His picture will be up soon. He is dearly missed by owner Rene Rocque. Sparky is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver (Toller).

A few words from Rene:

Dedicated to Sparky (Can Ch Jalna's Hotshot Hunter) Dearly loved and missed by his family.

The following is quoted from the story Memories by John Gaslworthy.

"But what a crowd of memories come back, bringing with them the perfume of fallen days! What delights and glamour, what long hours of effort, discouragements, and secret fears did he not watch over - our black familiar; and with the sight and scent and touch of him, deepend or assauge! How many thousand walks did we not go together, so that we still turn to see if he is following at his padding gait, attentive to the invisible trails. Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives. Yet, if they find warmth therein, who would grudge them those years that they have so guarded? Nothing else of us can they take to lie upon with outstretched paws and chin pressed to the ground; and, whatever they take, be sure they have deserved."

"No stone stands over where he lies. It is on our hearts that his life is engraved."
