In Loving Memory of My Big Buddy Baxter

I am deeply grieved to report that Baxter, my dear doggie friend of 10 years, passed over this morning to the "Rainbow Bridge" (below). This blog post is to honor his life and faithfulness. I am a life-long dog lover but this pooch was really special. I truly believe dogs are a gift from God. He provided us with dogs to teach us many Godly examples:
  • Unconditional love
  • Faithfulness/Loyalty
  • Instant forgiveness
  • They never worry about what to wear or whether you will feed them
  • Dogs want to spend time with you like God wants you to spend time with Him
  • They will forsake their own to be with you
  • You are the center of their universe
Thank you, Lord for Baxter's life... wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge, big boy.
I love you, Baxter,
Your Best Buddy Dave
(with a tear in his eye and a hole in his heart)

Dave, I don't know if the message I sent to you went through. I just want you to know how sorry I am that you have lost Baxter. Trust me, he is not lost...he is waiting for you to join him again. Life supplies us with so few really good friends that it is a terrible thing to lose one. It is with tears in my eyes that I tell you how truly sorry I am...Sure hope he finds Annie and they have a good time waiting for us to get there!

Dave I'm so sorry about Baxter. I haven't been online as much this last year (nursing school). I know you miss him very much. He was lucky to have you too! ((((Bighugs))))
