Tribute to Agi (1995-2006)

by Gary Smith

  

On August 8, 2006 my half-side and I bid farewell to a beautiful gentle giant, our beloved Agi. 

She had already risen from one terrible malady that had stricken her.  I had carried her into a ceremony she walked out of - with help, but she walked.

She had come into our life at the age of 5 weeks.  She slept that first night on my chest, and the next night next to us, never once whimpering or crying in her new surroundings.

She left with the same quiet dignity.  Janet had rushed her to the vet after she collapsed on their morning walk.  Janet was petting her as the last breaths came.  Again, she never whimpered or cried as she entered her new surroundings.

She will be missed.  That big grey muzzle and ruff in the lap asking for - no, demanding a pet.  Always she gave far more love than she received.

Shortly after she crossed over it rained.  Even the grandfathers cried for our sorrow. 

In the growing dusk that evening we sent her on her journey.  Creator had called home a beautiful, loving giant.  afSQabvl (A-gi-se-qua-a-ge-v-li) did not walk away from this ceremony... she soared with the eagles.

She leaves a legacy of loyalty and unwavering devotion.
