Chip, now across the rainbow bridge (see his last picture below), was my foundation male. Chip finished at a little over a year old and went on to several Best of Breed wins.

In Remembrace of my beloved companion
HEAVEN'S DOGGIE DOOR

My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And Oh ... him many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze"
Only a heart that's filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, " You should cry no more,
God also loves our canine friends,
He's installed a 'doggie door'!"

THE RETIRED SHOW DOG

He sits to the side, out of the way
While others beg head rubs, or force you to play.
His dark liquid eyes watch your every move
Hoping and waiting, his love to prove.

He was shown many times, a promising pup
And he just got better as he grew up.
A picture of health, robust and strong,
His gait and topline, never went wrong.

But his prime has passed, and he seems to know,
That he'll never again be put in a show.
He easts, sleeps, not much more than that,
And maybe he's getting a little too fat.

He loves to be brushed, when you have the time,
He waits his turn at the end of the line.
You think of him, sure, but not nearly as much
As those promising pups, that new special and such.

So he sits and he waits, till you have time,
To make the same fuss as you did in his prime.
A scrap of affection, or playful shove,
To him it means everything, to him it means LOVE!!
