Dozer

(taken 10/00)
Rebbel's Bulldozer CGC UKC Pointed 8/26/89 - 2/19/01 (American Pit Bull Terrier)

When I first saw Dozer, he was about 7 weeks old. While his littermates were running around & wrestling, he came over & laid in my lap & looked up at me with those big brown eyes. It was love at first sight. To tell you the truth, I didn't want a Pit Bull, my husband did. But, he convinced me to go look at this litter & Dozer stole my heart the minute I saw him. He was the same sweet, cuddly, mellow dog his whole life. He had his fiesty moments, but all in all, he was a big couch potato. He changed many people's minds about Pit Bulls & was a true ambassador for the breed. He had gone in many parades, breed demos & dog education classes for children & was a great dog to use for socializing puppies. He never met a person he didn't like & he loved children, cats & other dogs too. He also was be a bit spoiled rotten, but he was very deserving of it. Sadly, Dozer was diagnosed with bone cancer on June 23rd, 2000. We had him put to rest on Monday, February 19th, 2001. He had complications & we didn't want him to suffer needlessly. Now he's happy & healthy up in heaven. We'll see him again someday. Until then, rest in peace sweet Chickapee. You'll forever be in our hearts.

I'll Always Be Here For You...

Do not mourn nor cry for me,
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near,
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight,
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach,
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
To all of you I hold so dear,
Weep no more, I'll always be here.
For all the cherished memories we share,
Just look for me, I'm everywhere.
