Austin was my heart dog.

Though our time together was way too short, I would not change a thing.

The canine love of my life, Austin was everything to me and everything I could have ever wanted in an aussie.

He was a multi-venue Agility Champion and my very first Working Trial Champion. He was an ASCA Ranch Trial dog on both sheep and cattle. The blast we had working 10 head of cattle in an open field and loading some onto a trailer is something that will stay with me forever.  I was so proud of him for doing all that!

Austin was a blast to run and train and we had so much fun all the time, even the day before I lost him, we were running in agility.

But it's the little things I miss the most, the way he looked at me with nothing but love in his eyes, when he slept on the bed, he had to be touching me or laying partially on me, even if it was 90. How he was always with me, guarding me, watching over me. I know you are still watching me now, buddy. The bestest boy who ever lived, mom loves you and misses you and I still can't believe you are gone.

I have lost an enormous piece of my heart that can never be filled. Time will ease the pain, and memories will make me smile, but it living without being able to hug him, or hear his joy at running agility, or let him play with his ducks, or his beloved basketball is so very hard.

He was a once in a lifetime dog who I will miss forever. Fly free buddy until we meet again.

Don't think of him as gone away, his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Think of how he must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much ~ Ellen Brenneman

 "Looking back on the memory of, the dance we shared neath' the stars above, for a moment, all the world was right, how could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye? and now, I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go, our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance. Holding you, I held everything, for a moment, wasn't I king? If I'd only known how the kind would fall, then who's to say, you know I might have changed it all, but now, I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go, our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance" ~ Garth Brooks

The brightest stars burn out the fastest. I am glad I didn't know. I would have never wanted to miss the dances we shared in agility or the stock arena. I wouldn't change a thing except how short our time was together. I love you buddy, run free and with out pain until we meet again. You and I were meant to fly and fly we did, I miss you terribly.

My canine soulmate ~ forever missed...
