Sad News

Please take a moment to reflect on the passing of Chili, our 17 year old Aussie Shepard Mix.
He was a one of a kind and will be missed dearly by our pack.

I have written a poem to  my best friend who I will always love in my heart.


Chant for Chili

Death is swift
Sorrow is lasting
Body descends into earth 

The cycle of life is complete
A life that was rescued
Given love and affection 

In return you were loyal
Giving unconditional love
Provided happiness
A companion by my side 

You gave me happiness when my world was dark
Comforted me in illness when pain was at its worse
Waiting for me through my bleakest hours 

A Brother
Healer
Spiritual guide 

I wrap you in blanket
Lay you in the grave
Place items for your journey
To protect and light your way 

My hands are on the shovel
Dirt placed to seal the tomb
Your final rest in tranquility
Till you reach the Otherworld 

I am blessed to have had you
Our bond was very strong
Your passing created lots of tears
A void within my heart 

I know I will seek another
To give a rescued life
Giving love and affection
Like I did you in life 

My tears rain upon your grave
Your image in my mind,
We’ll meet in dreams
Walk the stars and ride the wind
Spirits of the alpha male to this we are a kin 

I wait the day of my passing
To see you again
On my journey to the afterlife—
Till then

Farewell my Chili,
Farewell
