Dear God,
Thank you for blessing my family with a Basset Hound whom we named Dave.
Throughout his four years he was such a gentle dog. I will miss his low resounding bark, his "sad-sack" face, his round soulful eyes, his familiar smell, the assuring waggle of his tail that he thumps on his newspaper laden dog house, his awkward limp and the thud of his front feet whenever he runs to greet me when i get home, his voracious appetite, and most of all, I will miss his loyal friendship.
Although in all my years i have never lived without a dog, I have never had one whose parting has left me and my family with a heavy heart and tearful eyes.
I heard that the souls of dogs die together with their bodies. I hope Dave is a special case. I only wish Dave is in heaven because I can't imagine heaven without him.
Thank you God for Mr. Dave.

Jovie, I am sorry for your loss. All of us who love dogs must come to this point at one time or another. I am no stranger to this side of pet ownership. Here was my last one: http://www.imagitec.com/petmemories/petpage.asp?ID=2298
It sounds like Mr. Dave will never be forgotten. God bless!
Thank you chessbuff.
I adopted my friend's adult-male Basset Hound. His name is Noah. My friend acquired Noah for his daughter - who took care of Noah until her interest shifted. Eventually, Noah ended up being not wanted. This presented me the opportunity to offer that i take him home with me. My friend and his family was more than willing to have me adopt Noah. Now everyone is happy - and i am back in the saddle caring for another Basset Hound.
You;re right, Mr. Dave will never be forgotten. He has a special place in my heart.
