"The lifespan of a dog is like the twinkle of a star in the universe.  

The influence of a canine companion on one's soul is forever."

 

Magnum

13 March 1997 - 13 May 2004

 

Words cannot describe the dog that Magnum was on Earth and will continue to be in our hearts forever.  The above picture was taken not long after Magnum first came to the rescue.  He was a long and lean dog, full of energy and life, quite a silly boy.  He was given up for being disobedient and knocking people over.  He became a faithful and constant companion, best friend and was a true angel on earth. 

By the time Magnum was taken from us he still had lots of spark and energy and had accomplished two obedience titles and a hearing ear certification. 

Roger Caras once said "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." and that certainly was true of our Magnum!

Magnum will be missed greatly, loved forever and remembered for an eternity.

 


My Forever Pet
by Suzanne Taylor

There's something missing in my home,
I feel it day and night,
I know it will take time and strength
Before things feel quite right.

But just for now, I need to mourn,
My heart -- it needs to mend,
Though some may say it's "just a pet"
I know I've lost a friend.

You've brought such laughter to my home,
and richness to my days....
A constant friend through joy or loss,
with gentle, loving ways.

Companion, pal, and confidante,
A friend I won't foget,
You'll live for always in my heart,
My sweet, forever pet....

Rest peacefully at the bridge. 

 

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.  You are his life, his love, his leader.

He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
