"I have been out of touch lately because my computer has
a virus and it is utter torture to even try to type. I didn't want
this day to pass without some kind of tribute to my Tess who died
one year ago today. I have written a lot about her sickness and her
death but I thought I would write a little about her life.
Tess was one of those beautiful accidental mixes: the muscular
leaness of a boxer(her father)and the deep soulful brown eyes of a
springer spaniel (her mother). She was the most beautiful puppy;
shiny, black and white coat and heavy, floppy ears. We called her
our "wild child" and she was. She lived to bark and loved
the sound of her own voice. She used her long legs to counter surf
and we have many stories of the crazy things she would consume. She
looked forward to our evening walks and insisted on carrying the
leash in her mouth so it looked like she was walking me. She slept
on my bed every night and followed me around the house so that it
seemed as though we were never apart.
She was my pal and her life and death were so quick it seems
almost like she was never here but she made such an impression that
she will never be forgotten. I really miss my pal, especially at
night and I look at her pictures every day. She was sometimes a "bad
dog" but she was always a great friend.
I love you Tess and I hope that there are endless fields for
you to run in and that when I see you again I will know the bark and
the wag of the stump and it will be like yesterday. I'm sorry for
what happened and that I was powerless to stop it. I would do it all
over again just to have you with me.
Beautiful puppy Tess
Tess the destroyer of all small toys
