Peri
was a born show dog, and sired outstanding show dogs, but his
greatest achievement was not in the show ring or as a sire. It was in
being my best friend and his unwavering love for me and the desire to
make my life the best he could.
Each night he saw it as his "job" to walk from kennel to kennel with me
feeding each and every dog and making sure none of them over stepped
their bounds. It was his "job" to be sure that I was protected when I
fed the horses or walked to the mail box. He was ever vigilant to see
that no squirrel or rabbit be lurking in an attack mode .
Peri and I traveled 40,000 miles together. He always slept in the motel
room, free of his crate between the air conditioner and me, ever the
great protector, but still liking his creature comforts! When I would
take a bath, Peri would sit with his front paws over the edge of the tub
to make sure that I did not drown. He saw his most important task in
life as that of my personal protector.
Every day of his thirteen years and eleven months, Peri has made me
smile. He will live forever through the memories of joy which he has
brought to me and the joy that he took in living. He looked forward to
everyday as a new day and a new adventure. So with this, I bid adieu,
with my heart felt love and thanks to Peri, my perfect puppy. God's
speed, my friend. You have graced my life as no other dog could. I am so
blessed to have known you. Rest in peace, my perfect puppy. Leaving my
life is the only thing you have ever done wrong.
