Nickname: SPIER, SPIER BIER, SPIRIT THE WONDER DOG

Whenever I walked in the door we played a game...I said .."Is your name Spirit?.. do you live here?.." and He would dance around to say of course I do !! and we laughed, and hugged. It was our signature greeting.

People always asked...Have you heard how Sheilah speaks to Spirit?... Its a language all of theyre own.... Isn't that how we speak to everyone one in our lives?? A language all our own....Our Best frieinds are no exception.

A HOMEWARD BOUND (LIKE) SITUATION ..........

Spirit was 4 years old..we lived next to a large river, My son had taken him out for a walk late one afternoon. I was at work ..at a retail store quite a way from home. Spirit was spooked by some naughty kids, (with Halloween noise makers) and ran. As I was helping a customer , I looked up to see a Golden Retriever Running into my store...I knew it was Spirit, and thought , perhaps my family had come to pick me up, and let him out of the van. This was not the case...he ran around the store, until he found me ..his heart was beating almost out of his chest. he clung to me..I went outside to look for my family and they were not there. What we discovered, was that Spirit Had ran, through traffic on a dark and rainy night ..in rush hour ... (through traffic lights), crossing the busiest of intersections...to find me. It was then I truly knew what unconditional love meant.

With my job, I have always taken Spirit with me, he has lived in the coldest of the north, to the tropicals of the Okanagan (in British Columbia). Where ever we went it was always about the water. Lakes, Rivers, Oceans, Streams...Those were his comfort zones...although....anything with a Mountain and hiking theme..never turned Spirit away.

On Feb. 4th, 2011, I had to make the most difficult desion of my life. To let Spirit go. His body, would not cooperate with his fiesty energetic, and yes, Spirited mind..I wanted him to go with the dignity he had ...Good night My baby.

I can go on forever, as most of us can. ...I only want to say .. thank you ..my great friend, and loving SPIRIT ...what you gave me .....and brought to our lives..I cant even.. find the words... I love you Spirit... You made me a better person every day..

Love
