Our Airedale friends come for a while
To share our lives and make us smile
They spend their lives with love and grace
In their Humans' warm embrace
Their lives are short because you see
They learn their lessons faster than we
Our hearts will grant their every need
Within our power to love and feed
When their time is done on Earth
And Heaven prepares another berth
They don their wings and fly away
Into the arms of God, they say
My hope is they are running free
Without the pain this world can see
One by one we share this fate
For what great plan we do not know
But for that time, I hope they wait
For where they are, I want to go
Author, Deen Walsh
My last walk with my friend.
Our sweet Missy went to the Rainbow Bridge this morning to meet the others who have passed. It is with heavy hearts we let her go, but hope her spirit is free now from hurt and pain. We are better for knowing her, short 3 years that it was, we will never regret a moment we had with her in our lives. She brought some real class to this household.
I asked Missy to say hi to Jacob, Rocky, Gretchen and Tina for me, I hope she can.

The day we adopted her in Post Falls, Idaho
 Enjoying the summer sun.
Wood cutting with Sarah last fall. Missy loved riding in the truck.

Missy first Christmas as Missy Walsh
Teaching Sarah, the new puppy how to sleep on the couch.  Queen of her perch
I have known Deen for over 30 years and have had the privilege of knowing some of her dogs. I can not say enough about how amazing they are, and what a wonderful dog mommy Deen is. She has the perfect balance of love and discipline, which makes for the ultimate devoted companion.
All of Deens awesome dogs have been Airedales, except for her ½ Border Collie / ½ Australian Sheppard, Tina.
Deen would like you all to know that it isn't only Airedales who are wonderful and missed.
Farewell Missy.

I have worked with many different animals since I was a small child, but I have never been without a wonderful dog companion. Each is special with it's own personality, just like people. Each to be treasured and loved.
