Your tribute to Holly and the challenges and rewards she provided is very touching. This part sums up perfectly what I feel about Ody, and I just want to thank you for putting it into words.

She might not have been capable of learning a lot. But she did get to learn what it meant to belong. To be a part of a pack and what it felt to be loved and wanted.

Holly was fortunate to have found all these things with you, and I hope your memories are providing comfort now.

Sounds like you gave Holly a good life. It's hard to take in a dog with problems even for a short time, but to make the decision to keep her-you're just an angel. I smiled at the freezer being the mother ship. Hugs to you, Holly and Bear are probably playing together.

I lost a treasured friend today,
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And share her silent thoughts with me...

She'll come no longer to my call,
Retrieve no more her favorite ball;
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to His golden throne.

Although my eyes are filled with tears,
I thank Him for the happy years
He let her spend down here with me
And for her love and loyalty.

When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know...
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with her bark.

Vaya con Dios, Holly.
