Kippy

U-CD Rebbel's Kippy Doodle Dandy CD CGC HIC
7/31/88 - 2/21/02


Kippy was a once in a lifetime dog & my constant companion. He would do anything for me. He & I had many firsts together. He's the first dog I trained, showed & titled in obedience & the first dog I tried herding, agility, tracking, flyball & much more with. He was so intelligent, that most times I just had to show him something a few times & he had it down. At 13 1/2 years old, he was diagnosed Cushings Disease. Then 2 1/2 weeks later he got very ill with liver problems. He wouldn't eat & didn't get any better with treatment. So, I decided not to let him suffer & starve anymore. He's now happy & healthy up in Heaven with Dozer, Caramel & Puddy Tat. We miss him dearly, but will see him again someday. Rest in peace sweet Kip Kip. We'll never forget you.




Special Gift

You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.
That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this gift
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
... a young dog once again.
