CH. PERFECTION'S GUARDIAN ANGEL

"GABRIEL"

January 3, 1996 - June 30, 2006

My sweet Gabriel I loved you before you physically came to me, I saw you in my dreams. You filled my days with laughter and happiness my beloved clown prince.  

I miss your face when I wake up or when I come home after being gone for an hour or so.

I miss the way you would carry your bowl without dropping a kibble and place it carefully on the couch. You would slowly climb onto the couch, surround your elegant paws around your bowl and eat. You would always save a few bites until the other kids came into the room so you could savor the last few bites in front of them.

I miss you drinking out of my glass. Even if I put ice with water in a bowl for you my glass was always better.

I miss you lying on the bench in your room on your favorite blanket.

I miss giving you vanilla ice cream that you loved so much.

I miss “the look”, the unmistakable Gabriel look you gave to the other kids to show your dominance. Their respect for you was great but then you expected no less.

I miss your elegance in the show ring. Oh how you loved to show! Walking in the ring you would bump my leg as if to say “move over, I can do this myself”.

I miss you getting up in my lap as I lounged in the recliner then you stretching full out and falling asleep as I watched TV or read a book. I miss stroking your long ears and hugging you.

I miss your antics like when you went lure coursing or when you “took care” of Garrot the Parrot or when I came home to find you lying on the dining room table like you were a centerpiece…emphasis on these to follow.

I miss you rearranging the furniture so you could get a good look outside.

I miss your impression of Wylie Coyote when you did something bad and were running outside…head down and crouched low to the ground. 

You came to me in my dreams and now you are back in my dreams. I dream I see you running out the door to the backyard with the others. I call to you to come back. I just want to hug you one more time!!!!!!!!!! But it’s only a dream. Dear God I miss you, I love you Baby Gabe.

I may not be able to carry you in my arms but I will forever carry you in my heart.
