"Dageus"

On August 22, 2008 we lost our beloved wolfhound, Dageus.  There are times with our big guys that we have no explanation why they have to make their journey to the Rainbow Bridge so early, but its their path and we are left to grieve and accept it.  He was always our big bouncy boy.  I don't think in the two and a half years we had him that he ever completely figured out just how big he was.  He was always the puppy that wanted nothing more than to be loved and petted.  He made the long trip here from Ireland and stepped into our lives as if he always belonged here.  Everything he did was done with enthusiasm.  I don't think I have ever seen such a big smile on a dog and it was always there.  If you said his name, his smile appeared, tongue lolling out.  Until the day I see him again at the bridge and I feel that big heavy lean as I rub his side again, I send him our love.  You are always in my heart, my big boy.
