SNOWFLAKE

In a Birdie Castle just beyond my eye My Budgie plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.  
Who am I to wish him back               
Into this world of strife?               
No, play on my Budgie,               
You have eternal life.                
At night when all is silent               
And sleep forsakes my eyes               
I'll hear his tiny footsteps come              
running to my side.               
His little beak caresses me so               
tenderly and sweet               
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes 
and embrace him in my sleep.                
Now I have a treasure               
that I rate above all other,               
I have known true glory -               
I am still his "Mother".                 
A golden heart stopped beating, 
Two willing wings are still.                  
The one who did so much for us
Is resting at God's will.

With great sadness, we wish to inform you all that our Kola “Bear” has gone to doggy heaven. She will be missed by all those who met her, and especially by her “little brother” Saber.

Kola was rescued from the Humane Society as a puppy. She was a very playful pup and loved biting your feet, fetching sticks, swimming, and doing her “bum dance”. She was lucky to have had all of you and many of your pets as friends over her lifetime. Kola truly lived a full life. She loved the lake, swimming, camping, fishing, Red Lake Falls tubing, car rides, snowmobile rides and even SeaDoo rides..Kola was a loyal and faithful dog, but with a streak of her own unique independence. Janet said she was like a cat, often responding to a command only when she was good and ready. We will miss her dearly. You all will undoubtedly have your own memories of her. We ask that you remember her in your own way and hope that she brought some joy to your lives in her own special way.

In her memory, you are welcome to make a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society.

Anders, Janet, and Saber
