10 July 2000. My gorgeous dane Shadow was born.
3 October 2005. Gone from my home, not from my heart.
Happy birthday my beautiful blue boy. I miss you so much and I always will.
We have a secret, you and I that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim in every brook I pass.
and when I call, no one but I can see the bending grass.
