And just for you to exist was enough…
He only listened, he never judged…
He learned very well from his dogs because
He was unconditional with his love.

Some Christmas traditions I’ll always remember,
But this one will last well beyond December.

When he moved to Post Social in twenty two,
And told us that we could find him there,
My smitten self had to make sure he knew
That I would follow him anywhere!

I’m so glad I knew you, and still feel your spirit,
But I’d never wish you back, Leland Hermit…
There’s so much, so much, too much to deal with,
And a peaceful rest…God knows you’ve earned it.
Missing my friend,
AngeloBCollie. ❤️

One time he disappeared, and I thought my life was over. Forty days and forty nights he was gone. Came home with one ear half chewed off, but he came home. Miracle dog. Angus is my miracle dog.

This was the day that he left.
Friend to all, human or not.
And I hear them offer a toast in respect…
‘Aroo! Dear Hermit, you will ne’er be forgot.’

And the tears will come again, and again, and again, for the garden of the memories of loss is watered by your tears. Without them, the flowers of joy might not bloom, and if they do not bloom, you cannot share them with others.

I know that dogs and other creatures have lessons, important lessons, to teach us if we’re willing to learn.
I know that the wilderness gives us space to know ourselves, and God, if we take the time to listen.

His writing is poignant and layered
With insight and beauty and meaning…
If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor
And treat yourself to a (re)reading.

Words. Glorious, sundry, vivid words.

He had a passion for language and words;
Turned them into art,
But it was his fancy for silly verse
That captured my flaky heart.

Maggie the black Lab 💕
