Hi guys, long time no talk. Our bad….. Anyway we would like to tell you about Willy. That’s him in the picture. He was one smart dude.
He was tossed out of a car (at least that is what mom and dad always believed) and I’m sure he walked with a dog angel who led him straight to mom and dad.
He showed up one Sept afternoon and never left again. (We totally understand that move) He was really smart and really sweet. (Something like us) But unlike us, he was awfully afraid. So finding mom and dad was a good thing for him.
He is the reason, dad insisted on getting another Aussie. They loved him so, so much. And he returned the love a hundred fold. Willy was disabled the last few years of his life. Dad took such good care of him. But when it got to be too hard for Willy to stay, he left and crossed the rainbow bridge. That was 2 years ago today. They were super sad for over a year. But one day we think Willy started to insist they get another dog to love. He got into mom’s brain, and dad’s brain, and so they said okay. That dog was me (Annie), but Shelli sent a picture of Quigley, even before they saw my picture and mom fell in love.. She always said if they were getting one, they were getting two. So that is how Quigley came to be my brother.
We want to thank Willy for being such a wonderful example of Australian Shepherds and such a loving and funny boy. We want to thank him for making them smile for so many years. And we want to promise him, that we will do our best to continue to give them all the love they need. We will protect them, and guard them, and make them giggle as much as we can.
So dear older brother, thank you. Don’t think for a moment that they don’t still love you. WE haven’t taken your place, no one could do that. We are just filling a hole in their heart’s that you left.
Love to all our friend’s and to the memory of Willy the wonder dog.
Annie, and Quigley
