After 14+ years of
unconditional love, fun, joy, playtimes, kisses, and walks, Biskit, the wonder
dog of my life, died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday September 29th, 2014. We
had enjoyed a perfect morning together. Went on our walk, played with his
squeaky ball, rolled in the new grass, snoozed by my chair during lunch time,
asked for his treat....and then something happened. He took a few unsteady
steps, collapsed and died.
My heart breaks, and tears overcome me as I try to
work through my grief. I tell myself, "he was just a dog"...but he
was more than just a dog to me. His big fuzzy body kept me warm in bed at
night, his rambunctious energy infused me to exercise with him, his never-ending
love for his squeaky ball and toys brought me laughter and joy, his sloppy
kisses made me feel loved, his sense of time keeping for his meals got me up at
5 a.m. each morning and 6 p.m. for supper, his gentle behavior and self-control
when hurting gave me respect for his
"smartness", and his care for sister Cookie deepened my appreciation
for his sweet nature.
Beside my pure
love and enjoyment of Biskit, the Lord
used him to teach me SO many lessons over these years. Consistent discipline
brings results and transformation, unconditional love, rebellion has
consequences, perseverance through trials, enduring pain with self-control,
patience for the things desired, and joy in all circumstances, just to name a
few.
I have a brain bank
filled with 14 years of memories with my precious Biskit. I lay him to rest, not
knowing how or if the Lord uses our animals in heaven. Regardless, my memories
are eternal. I might not ever see Biskit again, but I am always able to turn to
my treasure of special thoughts that are never ending. I am thankful the
Lord gave me the perfect first dog and allowed me 14 years of devoted love to
my furry four legged child, Big Boy Biskit".
Kisses and Hugs.
