A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change.

We are new to the Ultimate family but can only imagine how you must feel losing your beloved "El Tigra". Over the years both Crystal and I have had the fortune of having great dogs bless our lives and our hearts go out to you in this time of loss.
Upon this day I reminisce
With sadness and regret
The loss of my beloved
Special "child" who was my pet.
It's been a time of longing
Wishing you'd return to me ...
For though you left,
I cannot "set you free".
Though time will make it easier,
To go from day to day ...
No one can understand the
"Special" role your life did play.
For every day you were a part,
Of love and joy and life ...
You had a way that focussed me
And lessened daily strife.
I'd hurry home to see your face,
Behind that window pane;
Where wiggles, hugs and cuddles
Brightened up the worst of days.
And now I sit, with eyes tear filled,
You are not by my side;
And when I see the window,
It is bare and bleak inside.
Emotions, they are raw today,
I'm simply torn apart ...
For hollow, wrenching feelings
Tear apart this very heart.
An emptiness, that's deeper than
The oceans ... fill my soul;
A painful hunger bites my
Inner self beyond control.
For though time healed the daily wounds
I wore upon my sleeve,
I shelter from the world outside
Just what you meant to me.
To me, you were more human
Than some others I have known ...
You gave such love and tenderness;
T'was deep within your soul.
Now fall is here, and little things
We loved now cause me harm ...
The walks we'd take around the yard
No longer hold their charm.
We're packing just to get away,
And leave this home we've lived ...
For without you to share this with,
I get no joy from it.
I see you as I turn each step,
I watch for you each day ...
Oh little one, I miss you so,
... Much more than words can say.
