With every day that passes
whether filled with gloom or happiness, love and a hug just beside
you, the feel of a warm muzzle and the wag of a stubby tail, giving just
a clue of the love and contentment behind the sparkle of his eyes make
every moment of the day or night shine brighter filling the emptiness in
your soul with unsung joy and laughter.
With a cold nose and a grin he starts your day letting you know with
a bounding and a tongue slung to one side it is getting light, no time
for sleep, more time for play. As your day begins with a cup of coffee
and a shower then it is off to the kitchen to share breakfast, sitting
patiently he watches every move first your socks then your shoes, with
growing anticipation as you head for the door he obediently follows with
eyes intend as the door flings open and off he's went. With a gruff at
every corner and a bark and a stare letting every living thing know that
your his master, he loves you and all others beware.
To my beloved Hugging my days and nights will never be the same without
you by my side, your memory will forever keep me warm and safe as you always
did in life. May my love and devotion to you keep that grin and smile you
have always had on your face, till we can once again share in each others
company. May my deep sorrow of losing you serve as a light that shows you
how much you were loved and how lost my life will be without you. Forever
in my heart and for always on my mind my beloved friend,companion and confidant.
I love you and miss you dearly.
A Testament Of True Unconditional Love And Devotion:
Almost six years ago I hurt my back in an industrial accident
at work, 18 months ago I had to have back surgery and had some hard (disks)
and soft tissue removed I was in the hospital for about a week. Upon my
return to home I was greeted by my Huggins in a way that I have never been
greeted before by a beloved pet. I was treated to a howling and dancing
exhibition to the likes no one that I even know of has been witness to.
The howling reached a decibel requiring me to place my hands over my ears
and the
howling did not stop till I was forced down to my knees so he could
be petted and give me a bath of kisses. For the week that followed which
I spent mostly in bed my sweet Hug-a-bug (Huggins) never left the foot
of my bed where he kept a vigil always making sure to be in constant contact
with my body. I think the most interesting time of this was after using
a heating pad for a few days in the lower lumbar region of my back I would
wake up to find Huggins checking out my injury and then would lay down
and snuggle up to take over the place where the heating pad would have
been as he applied the right amount of gentle pressure to that spot keeping
his body heat against me. The most comical part of that time would be his
hovering over me as if a nurse and even at the slightest stumble or misplaced
footing he would make a slight rushing charge as if he would catch me and
hold me up if he could. There is not a doctor, nurse or health care professional
that contributed more to my recovery, recuperation or general health more
than my loving companion of life he will always be in my heart and in my
thoughts for the rest of my days on this earth, as he will be terribly
and mournfully missed till we are together again for it will be at that
moment that I will truly know the grace and love of god.
