Shannon 2/16/2009
This is Shannon, Shannypants, late to our party, Ellie was her tour guide, instructor and her best friend. The beautiful blonde Aussie shepherd herder girl, calm, so very pretty, so very ladylike, kind, so very intelligent and very brave. She forgave those who neglected her. We were her sanctuary, refuge, reward. We were love. Shannon was happy, relaxed and relieved to end up with us. We were smitten. Now she had friends, safety, soft warm dog beds scattered around, good food, water always available, treats just for being cute, walks in the woods, a coat, a deck, a yard, and peace. She would never be left outside or in a basement again. She gained 10 pounds and smiled a lot. She had Ellie to play with. Wrestling started at 6AM before breakfast! Shannon, the talented herder, nonchalantly hip checked, out maneuvered the baffled Ellie. They were priceless together. Shannon, good natured and sweet, busily attended to every detail of our yard and woods with the efficiency of an executive administrator. Daily she trotted off to visit a fascinating and unknown resident. With us, where she belonged, Shannon had all she had hoped for in this life, except time. Our elegant, gentle, stunning, loved Farah Fawcett dog, Shannon, returned Home where we know she’s happily herding everybody and anybody.
Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
Mark Twain
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us. Robert Louis Stevenso
