• I have created this music tribute for Subsim member “Nikimcbee” who lost his dear companion “Niki McBee”, the official Boston Terrier for Subsim on the 17th March 2008. I was devastated by this news, as I too share my life with one of god’s gifts [the dog].

• The tribute music contained in this download is a favorite theme of mine, and it is intended to remind us how wonderful these beautiful companions are.

A Dog's Prayer

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in the entire world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps fall upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

• Nikimcbee please accept this small tribute from me to you.

Venatore.

Wow, I'm speechless. Thanks a lot. That's really nice. He was a great dog. It was really weird that first night he was gone, not jumping on the bed and sleeping under the blanket, not barking when I opened the door, not sitting by me when I was on the computer. That's why this whole thing has been some painful for me, whereever I went, he usually followed.
