During the past 3 years he has dealt with 3 kinds of cancer, congestive heart disease, bravely with no self pity. However while waiting to regain strength for open heart surgery, he died in his sleep yesterday at home. I'd like to think that both Fido and my friend shed their tired bodies and are now in a place where their activity is returned even though those loved ones lfet behind mourn. Although I doubt Fido would be a catcher in a heavenly baseball game, I know for a fact that my friend isn't running around sniffing anyone's butt, either.My own Damn Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699618498157378648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-10486108332733133472010-03-27T10:47:49.613-07:002010-03-27T10:47:49.613-07:00A friend (actually, a H.S. girlfriend) said goodby...A friend (actually, a H.S. girlfriend) said goodbye to her beloved and elderly Spot this last week.

Indeed Fido had a gentle sweetness and her epic loyalty to John was beautiful to see. If I believed in those ways, I'd say she's running in celestial fields with Bowser. Then again John Wesley said if his horse wasn't in heaven he didn't want to go. Then again what did he know.harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094676660514962306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-13636422440031281892010-03-26T19:28:40.286-07:002010-03-26T19:28:40.286-07:00So sad to hear of Fido's passage...She was a g...So sad to hear of Fido's passage...She was a great dog and your words are a great tribute to her.

Here's my own short tribute in Irish and the English following to Fido: <a href="http://fionnchu.blogspot.com/2010/03/dilis-go-bas-fido-ar-chu.html" rel="nofollow">"Dílis go bás: Fido, ár chú/Faithful to death: Fido, our hound"</a> It's hard for me to write much at this moment, but your kind words comfort me now. xxx meJohn L.
