Kelpie


We got some sad news today Dad's dog that has been living in Montana with Kadie and her family had an accident and did not make it. Why did this happen the day before Dad's birthday? I would like to think she is where she needed to be. When Kadie took Kelp up with her it was an answered prayer for my Mom. She had been struggling as what to do with the dog. Her hands and shoulder were suffering in pain trying to hold on to her, and the day Kadie called Mom and said she would take her up to be with Spencer her young son for he was in need of a dog it was bitter sweet to know she was going to a good home , but sad to know Mom would be alone was hard. What great friends they became with all of Kadies kids, she would tell us many stories of how Kelpie would keep track of them and how she trusted her . This was a poem I wrote for Spencer they day I found out she was going to him. Yes Spencer A smile from Heaven came today, Dad is happy. Please hop over and read about Kadies family http://briggspartyof6.blogspot.com/2008/08/for-last-ten-months-we-have-had.html

This is bittersweet - I would love to think that Clyde and Kelpie are enjoying one another's company again. I don't think anyone could ever take the other's place in their hearts!

I rarely see a rock that I don't think of Kelpie. Kadie and her family were so good to her, but Grandpa needed his buddy I guess. Maybe the angels got sick of playing fetch...
