Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge

Early in August of 1994 my buddy was born. I picked him up 8 weeks later and he was a bundle of energy from that day on. He camped, he canoed, and no goose was ever safe from his consumate hearding instints.
He was the biggest comedian I ever knew and he always made me laugh. Some dogs know they're funny, and some are just plain quirky. He didn't know he was quirky and he sure didn't know he was funny, but god how he made us laugh.
No car ride was too long, and no stranger to scary to try and score some pets from. He frisbee fanatasism was always there, though towards the end he would only catch it once or twice.
On May 22nd, 2006 I made the hardest decision I've ever had to do. Cancer was ravaging my buddy and he stopped walking. It had already taken most of his sight and his spirit was starting to wain. We gave him his favorite treat and took him for one last car ride. It was quick and peaceful.
I still can't comprehend that he's not there. That food that is dropped has to actually be cleaned up. My wife misses him being under her feet, though you would have never believed this when he was doing it. I miss his routine. I miss a house with out him. Who's going to inspect the bags from the grocery store? Who's going to let me know that once again it is 8:30 and there's no dog food in the appropriate dog bowl?

You were loved by many, accepted into every home like a brother.
Most of all you were my best friend.
