"There is one best
place to bury a good dog. If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you
when you call - come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down
the well-remembered path, and to your side again. And though you call a
dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him nor resent his
coming, for he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest
blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper: people who may
never really have had a dog. Smile at them, for you shall know something
that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing. The one best
place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master."
Good night, Sweet Prince. You left us
too soon and we miss you still.
Tristan was such an amazing dog. Loving,
sweet, loyal, empathetic . . . just a joy to live with. Add in his
wonderful achievements in the show ring and the lure coursing field.
Now, top that with the amazing accomplishments of his children. Whew!
We miss him very much.
