AMBER! – Our sweet pea! Our fierce, beautiful, scaredy-cat of a red poodle who would
greet us at the door at the end of each day and run to get a toy – it’s time to play!! All she
wanted was to love us, play as much as possible and be a dog. For a long time she
tormented her older brother Jasper; biting his tail, nipping at his shoulder when they ran,
trying to grab his toys and food. Her world was our home to protect and watch over.
Who knew she was afraid of everything? Jasper was really her quiet protector encouraging her to be daring.
How she loved to run and leap and chase whatever caught her eye! All those years
visiting Grandma on the Cape — going to the beach, running in the sand, and
desperately trying to catch the seagulls! She faced all of life’s challenges – whether it
was her seizures, her pancreatitis, her heart failure, or the inevitable aging — as the
brave trouper that she was. She taught us that life is for living in the moment with whatever toy is handy. She taught us pure and true love.
My Sweet Pea – I hope you are waiting for us in the sunshine with Jasper.
